Boise, Idaho may be an overlooked destination, but it is quickly becoming a sought-after vacation destination. Whether it’s skiing, craft beer, floating the river, or catching a football game — you could easily spend weeks in the city and have plenty to do. Whether you prefer a hotel in Boise or bed & breakfast, there are plenty of places to stay in Boise, Idaho. As the city grows, so do the options for hotels in Boise, Idaho. Here are some tips for our favorites:

Hampton Inn by Hilton – Downtown

Most travelers have a preferred hotel chain — whether it be because you know what you’re going to get or because you can collect more points. Mine happens to be Hilton. This is because of both reasons: it’s fun to collect points and I always know I am getting quality with Hilton.

Driving to or hiking Table Rock Boise, Idaho

I have stayed at a few Hiltons when looking for Boise hotels and I would suggest the Hampton Inn in downtown Boise. You really can’t beat the location, and Hampton Inns tend to fairly prices for what you get.

This Boise hotel offers parking, a pool, and beautiful rooms with an amazing view. If you want to save a few dollars, the Hampton Inn Spectrum is also an amazing hotel.

Residence Inn by Marriott – Boise Downtown/City Center

I am a sucker for brand new hotels, and although I prefer Hiltons, that doesn’t stop me from booking elsewhere. The Residence Inn in downtown Boise is brand new, in a city that is growing at an exponential rate.

The Riverside Hotel

Boise Riverside Hotel

The Riverside Hotel has had a few lives in Boise — as a Red Lion and as a Doubletree. But it is now operated locally (although owned b y Best Western), and has some great rooms. Not only is it within biking distance of downtown Boise, but it has a few restaurants, inside and outside, and has one of the best meeting rooms in Boise.

Tip: Ask for a room facing the pool — you can walk out of your room and be in the pool in only a few steps. All of this makes this hotel in Boise on our list of where to stay in Boise, Idaho.
