This 3-star in Downtown Boise suits couples and solo travellers who want to stroll to dinner and drinks, then come back to a quiet, well-run base. Free parking is listed, which is handy for road trips. The listing is tagged as pet friendly, but the terms are not confirmed.
Skip it if you want a large room or a long list of facilities. The listed extras are short: free parking, free Wi-Fi, air conditioning and a 24-hour front desk. Guests also say rooms feel small for the price.
Location and getting around
The address is 1314 West Grove Street, in Downtown Boise. The location score is 9.5, and guests say downtown shops, restaurants and bars are within walking distance.
Straight-line walking estimates: the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist (Boise, Idaho) is about 1.1 km away, roughly 14 minutes. Garden City, Idaho is 5.4 km, about 68 minutes, and the Boise Idaho Temple is 5.9 km, about 74 minutes. Those two are far on foot, so plan on a car, taxi or public transport.
What guests say
The score is 9.2 out of 10 from 427 reviews, the best in our Boise sample. Guests like the walkable position near downtown. Breakfast gets specific praise for homemade items such as banana bread, frittata and granola.
The main complaint is value. Guests praise the quality but feel prices are high for the size of the rooms.
Price and how it compares with our other picks
Reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults put the Modern Hotel at about €150.09 a night, around €300 for two nights. The sample median was €154.52 a night, so it was about 3% below the middle. These are not live quotes.
Here the other picks were cheaper. Our Budget pick, Simple Suites Boise Airport, was €120.82 a night with a score of 8.8. Our Luxury pick, Comfort Inn & Suites Boise Airport, is a 4-star at €116.48 a night with a score of 8.9. Both sit in the airport area, so the extra €30 or so a night here mainly buys the downtown location and the higher guest score.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 10 eligible properties in Boise. The Modern Hotel was joint first on guest score, with 427 reviews behind it, and priced just under the median. That mix of score, review count and price is what our Best Value label rewards.
