Hampton Inn & Suites Boise-Downtown
Was my fav hotel in Boise. Still nice and breakfast is deluxe compared to some others, but parking can be full (we were there on Valentines weekend and they allow hourly parking too which filled it up). I like Holiday Inn Express or The Inn at 500 if can get a deal (pricey of no deals).
