“My wife and I had tickets to a concert at the Knitting Factory to see Allen Stone and decided to make it an overnight getaway. The Inn at 500 seemed like the perfect place to celebrate a wonderful weekend together. We checked in early afternoon and were immediately impressed with the atmosphere and many amenities. I immediately slipped into the hotel robe and totally relaxed until we got ready to eat and walk to the concert. We dined downstairs and had a fabulous dinner. After an amazing show we returned to the hotel and sat on the decks of our corner room to enjoy views of downtown and the park. It was a total escape for us and we were only twenty minutes from our home. We look forward to our next staycation at the Inn at 500!”

“It’s because of the Inn at 500, my son and I, during a Christmas stay, decided to make a move here. It was such a beautiful enhanced time created by their staff, that it created so many personal touches that made the magic happen!

My daughter shipped holiday gifts and a lit Christmas tree - and their staff actually set up the tree and put all the gifts under it and the Christmas pajamas on our bed. When we arrived at the hotel and opened the door to our room, it brought tears to our eyes. This simple little touch was all we needed that made us fall in love with your hotel! When we had dinner at the Inn‘s restaurant with the scallops tenderly placed on a bed of delicious mashed sweet potatoes - the magic deepened and widened.

Thank you for treating us as a magical family and inviting us into your hotel and your city! We decided after your gracious invite… And made the move late March. Living in Boise during the summer is like a full-time holiday… All of the events make it even more special!”

“My wife and I stayed last year for my 46th birthday at Inn at 500. We have never splurged on my birthday, and when I looked at hotels with beautiful views in downtown, the Inn at 500 kept coming up. We were both blown away by the service from the moment when the valet attendant came out to greet us, to being welcomed and offered a beverage when signing in. When we walked into our room, we were both blown away with the room and view! We had dinner in our room and to this day I keep talking about the steak I had and how great our meals were. I tell everyone about the Inn and highly recommend it. This year our daughter turned 17 and we stayed in another room, which she was blown away with also. My wife and I have plans this year to stay this August in a room, for our other daughter’s wedding since it’s going to be up the road at the train depot in Boise. We also have plans of returning in September for my wife’s birthday weekend and again in October for mine! This is our true staycation in the most beautiful city in Idaho with all the views just a few feet away at the outdoor balcony.”
