Very very basic and very bare minimum rinky dinky motel on the side of the road. Just as other reviews... though we got the non-smoking room, someone clearly smoked in it. Bedding did have stains. Mattresses were very old. What more do you expect for $100? I would not pay more than $20 per night for what it is... but thats not here nor there and where else can you get $100 per night in boise?

I not only felt unsafe upon arriving as the riff-raff in the parking lot was concerning. I was on the second floor thankfully but had to squeeze by do to the smokers sat comfortably in the middle of the stairs. The room was smelling of stale cigarettes and every piece of furniture dirty, stained and dingy. A decorative pillow that had clearly been through it was resting upon my pillowcase which was horrifying to say the least. There was blue painters tape surrounding the fan in the bathroom, guess they were in a hurry to finish….also slept like poo because I felt itchy all night. The worst part was I was booked for 2 nights and left promptly the am after the first night and they would not issue a refund for the night I wasn’t about to use. Don’t go cheap, go somewhere else!

This has to be one of the nastiest places I've ever stayed in my life. Part of the floor is just perpetually wet, large chunks of the wall are just coming off, or are already fallen off/apart, the fridge and microwave are down right deplorable, The bedding smelt bad (I ended up getting my own sheets and blanket to use) the air out of the air conditioner smelt bad like everything else, the floor was dirty so I ended up washing it myself, the sink sprayed water everywhere, the TV had duct tape residue on it for whatever reason, they clearly never looked in the drawers because I found trash in there, they clearly don't move a thing when cleaning because behind every piece of furniture looked like a horror movie, the lock on the door was just busted off, plus the bathroom door was broken, and there was just a strange residue on a lot of surfaces. The parking is alright, nothing to write home about. The staff is alright as well, but nothing makes up for the awful conditions of the place. Unless you are truly desperate I would go somewhere else besides here, it's a health and safety nightmare and I wish I could get my money back.

The room was huge, the shower pressure was awesome and the staff was very very nice. The bed dipped in the middle and they used a flat sheet for a fitted sheet. We had to ask for more towels because there were only enough for 1 person. They never filled the toilet paper and they wouldnt have changed the sheets and blankets if we hadn't asked them to. The property was close to dowtown but they need more and bigger parking spots. They also need a grassy area for pets. The price was great. Especially for people on a budget

It gets a bad rap but room was big, bed was clean, air and tv worked fine. We arrived at airport 4 hours before checkin so I called to ask if they had a place to store our luggage. They told me they would have cleaning crew do our room first so we could ck in early- very nice/considerate.

The room was small amd had 9 squares of tp and no extra roll and the office was closed. Ran the shower and the water was beatuiful it had a nice redish yellow color. The styrafoam cup on the light really helped protect the brightness. The views of the local homeless tents where the real treat.

I stayed here while visiting a friend. I couldn't stay with my friend because our dogs are not friendly with each other. So basically I needed a motel room for my dog to hang out in while I visited my friend. In that respects, the Cabana Inn suited my needs. The AC was nice and cold, which is great because Boise is like 109 degrees all day in July. The location is an easy 40min drive to Bogus Basin, which has fun downhill bike trails. The foothill trails are even closer. The room was mostly not disgusting (i didn't feel the need to keep flip flops on in the shower) but I recommend brining your own towels and maybe bedding too. The towels they gave me were nasty, with grey and brown stains. The water pressure in the shower was awesome though and it got hotter than you'd ever need it to be. five stars for the shower water! But I didn't want to drink water from the sink, because the sink was just gross. So I bought gallons of water from the grocery store, which is only a few blocks away. I woke up to the sound of people puking most days. But it was mostly chill at night unitl Friday night, but not crazy wild then either. The owners were nice. The internet did not work great.

I read some reviews about this place and I was skeptic, but honestly, this place was fine. It’s obviously not five star, but for the price, the value is great! My room was clean, but the bed was comfortable and it had all the basics. I also read about this being in a “bad neighborhood,” and that’s not true either. I walked to and from downtown at night with zero issues at all.

I was only staying one night, and knew I wouldn’t be needing to be in my room much. For a clean decent place to stay, at a decent rate, and walking distance to downtown, this place was fine.
