Residence Inn by Marriott Boise Downtown/University

We enjoyed the pool area and continental breakfast. They had a porta-crib set up for us when we arrived, which was super helpful!

We reserved the family suite with 2 bedrooms + 2 bathrooms, rather I feel it should have been called a one bedroom with an open loft. The second bedroom was up a very steep set of stairs and was open to the lower level with the bed pushed up against a half wall (not at all safe for our 3 and 5 year old). We put the kids in the master bedroom and made it work but I feel there should be a more clear description of what you are getting. One of the 2 nights we were there our air conditioning went out (not their fault of course) and we missed a night of sleep due to the heat, then the service guys coming and going. They took a little off of our bill ($40) for the inconvenience. Also, not a big deal but just a heads up, we attempted to watch a movie but they don’t have any DVD players and no way to cast anything to the tv. Overall it wasn’t a bad stay, just not what I expected from the amazing reviews. Rooms are not great for families with young kids.
