• I like the Double Tree brand.
• This hotel is not yet up to the Double Tree brand standard.

“I believe that this hotel must have been a recent acquisition into the Double Tree franchise; it is currently undergoing renovation. This is a good convention hotel with good amenities - but they will have to improve/renovate most of the hotel before I will recommend this to travelers in the future.”

• Nice room on the river and
  nice view.

“This hotel was very close to the freeway but once your in your room you wouldn't even know. The room was very quiet and the view was a lovely river. It was very safe too, you cant even enter the hotel with out a room key. The room was nice and clean, the bed was comfy and the internet was free.”

• Good location.
• Not of the quality I expected.

“Hotel looks like a neglected property that Hilton has purchased to renovate. They should complete renovations prior to putting the Doubletree brand on it.”

• Leaving.
• Got stuck in a smoking room which stunk very bad. Staff refused to help by moving us.

“I will never stay at the Doubletree in Boise. We got stuck in a smoking room which stunk very badly. The staff informed us that they had nothing else to offer us. We ended up leaving and going to another hotel. This was my first bad experience.”

• Would liked to have had a refrigerator.

“Everything was great. Convenient to city connector road. Very comfortable beds. Enjoy the gardens and access to walk along the river. The hotel was clean, but probably in need of a face lift in the lobby - seems dark. Not a problem however.”

• Accommodating.
• Terribly breakfast, rude waiter, no elevator on2nd floor.

“Decent, very good front desk. Room was fine. Double headed shower was interesting. Terrible breakfast experience in the hotel restaurant. God awful food twice. Broken stairs outside of room and no elevator led to extensive extra walking.”

• Friendly staff and good price.
• Noisy, poor electrical sockets, water leaks, flies in bathroom.

“This is an affordable hotel reasonably close to downtown Boise with a courteous and helpful staff. On the downside, the rooms are in desperate need of renovation with poor quality electrical sockets, water leaking through walls, old carpets and some minor bug issues in the rooms.”

• The pool and the warm cookies.
• Not very clean, updated. Did not smell fresh or clean. Chairs, mini-refrigerators, blankets were in halls the whole time of our stay.

“I would not say this was a 3 star hotel. I would rate this hotel as a 2 star. There was soap left in the shower from the people before us. There was chairs, mini-refrigerators, blankets, tray in the hallways the entire time of our stay not just while the maids were cleaning. There was not a clean fresh smell in the rooms, hallways, or lobby area. When you opened the curtains to the windows, there were cobwebs everywhere. We kept those closed the whole time. We were unable to receive that connection. The fitness room was so hot! We worked out and there was no AC in there. That was miserable. We were not that impressed with the hotel. The two things we liked was the pool and the warm cookies.”

• It was fine, not that clean and toilet stopped up.
• It was a long way to the front desk.

“We had a toilet overflowing and called the front desk. They said they would be right there, about a half hour later we had to call back and wait for them to come another 15 minutes or so. It was good I knew how to shut the water off. It was all over the place.”

• The beds were very comfortable.
• Huge hotel, I was on one end and had to walk a long way to the lobby.

“It's a very large hotel located in the middle of Boise. The beds are very comfortable and the rooms are clean and spacious. The one downside is the hotel is so large it makes for a long walk to other parts of the hotel (i.e. lobby or pool) if not in the right location. Very nice hotel I'd stay there again.”

• The beds were very comfortable, the pool was great, very friendly staff! Also, the shower was the best ever!
• Room was not cleaned completely, furniture was chipped & cheap looking, curtains had holes, furniture was faded/torn.

“Not what I have come to expect from Doubletree! The staff was great, very friendly. The shower was better than any I've experienced in a hotel! The beds were very comfy (of course!) and the pool was wonderful! However, the furniture was cheap looking, chipped. The chairs were faded & very worn & a little torn. The room wasn't cleaned very well on our second day -- bugs were on the bathroom counter, some brown stains above the bed on the wall and garbage left -- just didn't seem like the cleaning staff put any effort into actually cleaning the room! However, because of the wonderful staff, the family friendliness and the comfy beds & awesome shower -- we will be back!”

• The room was very nice and the pool area was wonderful.
• The decor was a little bit dated but very well maintained.

“Our stay was wonderful, the room was great. The one thing that would have made it nicer would have been a microwave in the room. My husband has several health problems and it is nice to be able to fix meals at times for his special diet. Also the decor of the room was quite dated but it was very clean and extremely well maintained.”
