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.

The hotel was very clean & comfortable (I LOVED the bed!). The staff was supper friendly! Parking was a challenge (stalls were really narrow!) and I was woken a couple times by traffic in the alley behind the hotel (a revving motorcycle that sat there for 15+ minutes and garbage trucks loudly moving dumpsters around multiple times in the early hours).
