Second time staying at the Sparrow. It is becoming our go to for staying in downtown Boise. The rooms are clean, the beds are comfortable, the sheets are as soft as they come and it has the best hotel room coffee. Great place to start your adventure and then wind down and get some rest.

We look forward to an overnight stay at The Sparrow and downtown Boise on our way home to Oregon after a week of mountain biking in Utah. We’ve stayed here three consecutive years and can’t think of a more enjoyable final stop on our vacation. Very friendly welcoming staff, great location for walking to dining and shopping and just a few blocks from the Greenbelt for a morning bike ride.
