We had a truly unforgettable wedding night spent at Inn at 500! Everything was so comfortable and lovely, the perfect way to end our special day!

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 deepen 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 makes it even more special!

Thank you to your staff, Josh and everyone!!

In February 2023, I was coming home from a business trip and had booked a stay at the Inn at 500 for my last night as a little treat. I got in quite late and was greeted by the very gracious and welcoming night manager. He gave me the absolutely delightful news that my room had been upgraded as a courtesy.

This was a beautiful and a very welcome sight after a long day of travel.
My son had sent along his favorite stuffed animal, a little meerkat, to keep me company on the trip. Naturally, the meerkat had engaged in many photo ops throughout the trip and he couldn't resist another in this elegant room. The amenities were spa-like, calming and very refreshing. The view from the balcony was peaceful. In the morning, I was blessed to have some time to enjoy my stay further, making myself an early coffee, relaxing in front of the fireplace, and then having a delicious light breakfast and cappuccino that I had ordered the night before. Of course, the meerkat joined me. It was a flawless way to end my trip and allowed me some much-needed quiet time before going home. My son was of course delighted to see his little meerkat enjoying such tasteful surroundings.

Whenever I imagine my next hotel stay, it looks just like the Inn at 500 in my mind. Thank you for making such a lovely memory possible.

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!

We are from Twin Falls and my absolute favorite place to stay has been Inn at 500 since you opened. For special holidays (birthdays, babymoons, anniversaries) we have stayed with you.

One birthday in particular I had been wanting to stay in one of the Basque themed rooms - when we got there I asked my husband… he said he forgot to request it.
I was bummed, but not bad. However, I DID say, “….you better hope we don’t get the Vandal room then.” I’m a BSU alumni and I have friends and family that are die hard vandals so it’s always a “fight”….

That being said… we get to our room and I’ll be darned if it wasn’t the Vandal room. We’ve stayed many times and never ever gotten this room… but that one time… We had a good laugh and he heard about it for probably a year following. We still had a great stay.
Thanks for always giving us a great experience!!! (except that one time of course ????)

Last year, right before Christmas, we decided to surprise my eight-year-old daughter, Jane, by picking her up early from school and taking her for an overnight stay at the Inn. She was so excited to have a night away with all of the attention on her and away from her two-year-old twin brothers! My husband and I were pretty excited about that too!

She was so impressed with the complimentary drink at check in and felt so special. I brought her Christmas dress and we got dressed up and had dinner on-site, where the bartender made Jane his famous Italian soda. We had such a fabulous time and have decided to make it a yearly tradition. Thanks for the amazing memories! See you in December!
