The Sparrow - Hunter East

Best hotel I've stayed in for years and I'm a regular business traveler. Would wholeheartedly recommend The Sparrow. Will absolutely stay there again on my next visit to Boise!

Great location, comfortable, new, nothing remarkab

The space is fine. Everything is new and clean, not sure who the aesthetics would appeal best too!? A bit cheesy for my taste. The rooms had most everything I needed, but no views or meaningful sunlight. I slept well.

Thank you it the best But not horrible

The rooms are small and very much like a dorm room. The couch is super uncomfortable and the furniture is wobbly and feels like it’s gonna fall apart. The windows hardly open so you can’t get any fresh air in the room.

Staff was wonderful. Allowed us to park in handicapped parking even though our handicapped placard was for CA and not Idaho. They also offered to help us bring our luggage upstairs. And the entire hotel smells great. Bathrooms were also clean.

Parking tight and only available first come first serve. People at front desk friendly but messed up my billing and room number. The coffee shop only had granola bowls at 8:30 am even though hot breakfast items were on the menu.

4/10 Fair

They remolded what was probably a “motel” very nicely, but the noise levels are ridiculous. You can literally hear every word of your neighbor talking, toilets flushing, and the street noise might as well been in the room. So cute place, but only stay there if you hate sleeping. Never again Sparrow… you fooled me once
