"I can’t imagine going to Boise again and not staying at the Renegade. It is a gorgeous property with a beautiful rooftop bar. Our room was very large, modern and comfortable. There are a variety of pillows for different preferences and outlets for charging electronic devices are plentiful.The bathroom was also large and modern. They do not offer a free breakfast but there is an attached coffee shop that we enjoyed. We would highly recommend the Renegade for business or leisure travelers."

"What a wonderful, cozy place to stay in Boise! Close to downtown adventures and has a terrific view of the city and sunsets. My husband and two dogs fit perfectly in this modern space. Enjoyed a dip in the hot tub in the evenings and then morning views on the second patio with our coffee. Would stay here again!"

Kasa on the River Boise

8/10 Good

"room was well-appointed, though a hair dryer would have been very nice. room was very clean except for the bathroom (walls needed a scrub, shower wall above stall had some mildew, fabric curtain was dirty/showed wear, tub was stained). had a hiccup getting the check in / registration in time being a past user, but support was quick and helpful so still seamless to use. pool was closed, would have been nice to know that, but otherwise a great second stay! will book again!"
