Tiny rooms at outrageous prices
We were charged $180 for the TINIEST US hotel room we've ever seen (supposedly their "King Suite"). There was barely room on the floor by the bed to set our luggage. Their overhaul of the old Travelodge is marginal at best. The outside still looks like a cheap sleaze hotel. The rooms are minimally-decorated (not that there is any room to decorate). The bathroom had no counters, so plan on using the floor for any toiletries. The shower was very large (no bathtub), but the ceiling shower fixture didn't provide much water pressure or volume. They have about a half-dozen parking spots in front, which were always full when we were there. So we had to park in an empty lot adjacent to the hotel, and ended up getting a $25 parking ticket. Here are the positives: The staff was friendly (although they refused to do anything about the parking ticket). The flat-screen TV was very nice (although you could probably buy your own for the price of these rooms). Another plus: they have a great bartender at the hotel bar (plan on premium drink prices, of course). So this whole one-night excursion in a plain (albeit modernized), tiny room cost over $200. For that price, we could have easily gotten a large luxury suite with valet parking in any of several other fine hotels in Boise (we frequent many wonderful higher and lower priced hotels in town). The "modern" decorating at the Modern does not come close to justifying their outrageous prices. These are $60 rooms at best.
