One of the BEST hotels I've ever stayed in…read more My husband and I decided to travel to Boise for a quick vacation & this place did not disappoint. As you walk into the lobby, you're immediately hit with a pleasant aroma/signature scent. Not to mention, the decor and atmosphere is top notch. The front desk staff made checking-in easy. There was a slight delay with room inspection before we could head up to our room (but truly, not a huge issue). We were able to leave our luggage behind the front desk & enjoyed a nice drink at the bar downstairs. Once we got to our room, I was even more impressed. The bathroom alone is worth another visit. The shower is massive and I loved the spa-like feel overall. Beds were comfortable and I enjoyed the cozy lighting. I could go on and on- just book the trip! I will be waiting until we can come back and stay here next time. Great experience!

Our stay here was so nice! Between the texts leading up and the actual experience, they really put…read morethought into what they deliver. The room was way more swanky than anything we ever stay in, but even my husband commented on how nice it was, and he isn't usually impressed with hotels. You could sleep in the shower with how much space there was. The ambiance definitely matched all the things I had heard about it - very industrial meets modern in a thoughtful way. And don't sleep on Blue Collar Coffee or the rooftop bar, if even for just the view of the foothills. You can't beat the location either - it's walkable to everything but just outside the true heart of downtown where it gets busier. Recommend for a staycation night (what we did) or a splurge-y stay with friends!

Finally a good hotel experience…read more Great location. Very nice hotel room with a nice view of the main drag. My room was cleaned both days with no fuss or 6 year old pandemic protocol being cited to not clean the room. And they even have free snacks and sodas downstairs for guests. Oh and there's a shuttle from the airport. Great hotel.

I was in town to assist our new Community Ambassador at her debut Yelp Elite Event, and wanted to get a feel for the city. The Inn at 500 was the perfect choice, as it's right downtown and in the heart of the action - not to mention, walking distance to some great little shops, coffee shops, and even Trader Joe's. I arrived via Uber and was immediately impressed by their bright, colorful lobby. This hotel is known for amazing light fixtures and lots of whimsical art - and they didn't disappoint. Everywhere I looked, there was something beautiful to see. I was warmly greeted at the front desk, including a complimentary beer (or wine) as I checked in! There are also unlimited snacks, bottled water, and a few other refreshments available during your entire stay. I may or may not have grabbed a bag of Frito's and a granola bar to take to my room for late night snacking. My room was fresh and clean, with an eclectic Shakespearean-style nook above the king bed. The entire space was lovely, including a nice work area and plenty of places to plug in and charge up. There was even a fireplace, although the weather was too warm to actually use it. Before heading out to our event at a local brewery, I even got to enjoy a terrific happy hour in their on-site restaurant, Hemlock. And in the morning, I ordered a delish room service breakfast before catching my flight back to Seattle. This was a great experience and I can't wait to go back during my next trip to Boise!

Very clean but…read morethere was some lingering mustiness from smokers if that's something you're particularly sensitive to. Dog friendly. Free easy parking. Free breakfast but offerings limited to yogurt or eggs. Very noisy A/C unit. The toilet is directly next to the frosted glass bathroom door, which is fine for couples but worth taking into consideration who you're traveling with! Issue we had was we had picked up some favorite vegan food from a local restaurant to enjoy on the patio since we've really enjoyed the communal patios at other updated motels. We check-in and are invited to the happy hour. Awesome! We hope to order a beer and enjoy our food when a woman comes over and says that the health department will not allow us to eat our own food on our own plates and cutlery on the patio and that they would be shut down if they allowed it. When we ask where we could eat, she directs us to the street or our room. Our room only had a single chair and a thin rail, no proper dining setup. The patio was empty save for 2 tables but they couldn't stand to share the patio with hotel guests. The place was otherwise nice but the treatment soured our experience. I strongly suspect the health department would take no issue with our enjoyment of the patio.

To top it off, the lady working the front desk late Thursday night was super super nice. Great first impression of Boise based on that alone!

Poor customer service. Tried to put two active duty service members out $300+ while PCSing because…read morewe needed to cancel for a completely unforeseen medical reason. (The reservation itself was only made HOURS prior to the cancellation) We were told that since it was within 24 hours of check-in, we would be unable to be refunded, however the reservation ITSELF was made within 24 hours. When I was transferred to the manager, she demanded that I respect her and I needed to divulge private medical information before we were finally given a refund. I am not innocent in this, I will admit, but I do NOT regret acting the way I did. This was a single snippet of a shift for you, for me? It was the absolute worst day of my life. I went from having a completely normal happy two year old that was being babysat by my mother while my husband and I moved across the country, to listening to him struggling to even get a breath in and somehow having a congenital heart defect whilst we're now rushing as fast as we can to Seattle to fly BACK to the east coast and pray that my son stays alive within that timeframe. Of course a mother is going to be hysterical when there is a situation like that. AND, my husband, who booked the room, specified we needed to cancel due to a MEDICAL EMERGENCY. That was the very first sentence he said on that phone call. My recommendation- have more compassion and verify the severity of the situation with your receptionist before demanding respect from someone who trusted your business enough to spend over $300 on a room that we would be spending less than 12 hours in.

We got a double queen room on the ground floor, facing the pool and it was great! My kids were able to walk right out into the courtyard and play giant chess and giant checkers. We also spent as much time as possible at the indoor pool. My kids LOVED the whirlpool and splash pad features. There was hardly anyone else there so it felt like we had the whole pool to ourselves. The staff was so great with my kids. We got warm chocolate chip cookies at check in, and the servers at breakfast were great about getting us situated with drinks, and our made to order omelets were delicious! I have never experienced a hotel breakfast buffet that was as extensive as The Riverside's! 10+ stars for their breakfast buffet alone. At one point during our stay, we were walking back to our room and noticed some broken glass at the bottom of a staircase. I called the front desk and immediately they had someone out there cleaning up the glass. I would highly recommend The Riverside to anyone looking for a staycation hotel, or if you have guests coming in from out of town. We will definitely be back!
