"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.

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!"
