The staff was incredibly nice and the rooms are pretty large, which is nice compared to many small hotels. Though, there was so many broken and malfunctioning things that you could tell that maintenance and the company was both cheap and lazy. I was there three weeks and the handicapped door was broken the entire time the elevator would not close unless you pushed the door and it would rattle often. It’s in a nice location geographically, being close to 9th and 6th street but they definitely need to do a little investment and there is quite a bit of homeless people outside the surrounding area.

For the price I can’t complain but the room definitely felt quite dated. Also the room was hot, no heat was running and it was 26 degrees outside so that was puzzling. Had to leave the window open over night because the AC couldn’t be turned on. Staff was nice so no issues there. If your decently active walking downtown is a breeze. Lots of food and things to do

The person working the front desk, Benjamin, was extremely rude with an extremely bad attitude. As a tour bus operator for bands on tour, I have been staying at the Red Lion Downtowner in Boise for many years due to it having ample parking for a 65-foot long tour bus and being conveniently located. I will never stay there again and have alerted all my colleagues in the industry about what happened when myself and the band members arrived at the hotel. When the band's manager called to find out why we could not check in, Benjamin told her "Go f#ck yourself and don't ever book a room here again", and then hung up on her.

As the manager of well-known touring bands, I have routed bands to the Red Lion Downtowner for many years due to being able to park the tour bus onsite, the convenient location, and the bus operator being able to check in early since he drives all night - usually 400 to 500 miles. Upon arrival, the desk clerk, Benjamin, was extremely rude to our bus operator - he refused to let him check in two hours early despite my calling the hotel a week ago to confirm he could check in early. There were ample rooms available, Benjamin wanted to charge him/us $25 per hour (for both rooms that were reserved). When the bus operator alerted me to the situation, I called the hotel and spoke to Benjamin briefly as he hung up on me. I called again - , he answered and I asked why he hung up on me; he did it again. A third call resulted in the same; being hung up on. The band and the bus operator decided to get something to eat in hopes that by the time they returned, they could check in; which, they did. I then called the hotel again planning to thank Benjamin for letting them check-in but once he knew it was me, told me to "Go f#ck myself and to never book a room there again. He then hung up on me (4th time). Benjamin's behavior toward my bus operator, band members & myself was not only rude; it was mean and uncalled for. The music community is big; we have already reached out to fellow band managers & agents to advise them to steer clear of the Red Lion Downtowner in Boise, ID.

All in all, the property itself is not bad. However, we walked into our room and there was a very strong smell of chlorine. Another thing I didn’t see on the listing is that this is a pet friendly hotel and they don’t have any rooms that are “pet free”. I probably wouldn’t recommend if you have bad allergies.

We had reservations to stay the night before my husband had surgery. We got to the room, and the smell of urine met us. It didn't appear that the room had been cleaned, other than the bed was made. Our shoes stuck to the floor as we walked on it, there was hair all over the shower, and blood on the toilet seat. My husband needed a clean environment prior to surgery. We went to the hostess and explained this. She just said ok, didn't offer to move us to another room, nor even apologize or offer to refund our money. We chose to not stay here as it wasn't safe prior to surgery. At 11:00 at night we had to find another place to stay. If I could give 0 stars for this motel I would!
