I stay at the Red Lion for the Big Sky basketball tournament every March. The staff is wonderful, the hotel is clean and quiet. Location is close to downtown and the price is a fourth of the downtown hotels. The neighborhood has unique restaurants and barbershop. Facility is a little dated and not everything works perfectly. But a lot of charm.

Do not stay at this hotel! Horrible, rude and unprofessional staff, they will steal all your belongings. This hotel is situated on the corner of Boise's equivalent of skid row with an unbelievable amount of homeless people who wander through the open parking lot. The interior of this hotel is not represented well by the pictures. It's dirty, grimey and disgusting. I got into town too late to find somewhere else and unfortunately had to stay the night. I slept in my full clothes jeans and a hoodie because the room was so disgusting. Do not stay here. There are literally 25 hotels in the area and any one of them would be better for your money. Hopefully this message will help you avoid a terrible experience.

OLD!! This property has not been updated since it was built. The carpet is disgusting and stinks. Paint on the walls is in bad shape, the floor of the elevator is peeling off. The floor in the dining room had not been swept in weeks and was filthy and tge windows were gross and dirty. It's like the management is either non-existent or just doesn't care. What a dump!!

Rundown
Our room was 80+ degrees. When my husband callled the front desk we were told they have geothermal heating so nothing can be done. I went down to the front desk and talked to them. I was given a box fan and told because they have geothermal heating they can’t control the room temperatures. And to try the fan. We tried the fan but then it made it so we couldn’t hear the tv. The remote didn’t work so you had to get up to turn the tv on or off of change the volume. There was mold in the bathroom in the shower and the doorframe was broken. The pool and hot tub were closed yet they use underground heating?? When asking for a refund or compensation I was told because we didn’t complain to the front desk (which we did) that nothing could be done.

Bedroom has dust on everything and spider webs in the bathroom and in the corner by the drapes. The outside glass front door was broken out. The entrance carpets were extremely dirty. The breakfast you had to pay for and the amount and quality was sub par. I am very disappointed in the hotel. Red lions have a great reputation for being very elegant.
