this place stinks, the room hadent had a new mattress or box spring in a decade. the room was dirty and smelled quite bad. the bathroom has not been fixed up since the 80's. for the same price stay at motel 6 in meridian nice and very clean.

I actually stayed here for a full month back in Jan-Feb 2008, due to a very short-notice relocation to Boise for a job. I didn't know the area, was planning to buy a house, and didn't want to blow a ton of money on a pricey hotel. I found the Cabana Inn on craigslist and it seemed to be what I needed. I will admit that this is not your typical chain hotel, so don't have that expectation when you arrive here. However, the staff does their best with keeping things clean, tidy, and meeting your expectations. They are very eager to please and were more than happy to help me with anything I needed -- I even had trouble getting my computer to sync with the wireless internet, and the owners had their son trouble-shoot my laptop for me. I was staying there on a weekly rate, but when I did finally buy my house, they even let me negotiate what I thought would be a fair rate for the portion of the last week I'd be there. I really like the people that own this place and think they do their best to try to make your experience pleasant -- you just have to speak up if something isn't to your liking. Heck, they even picked which room they gave me based on the fact that I'd be staying there a long time and they thought it would be more quiet and convenient for me! Now that's nice!

Were there some times that I was woken in the middle of the night by other rowdy guests? Yeah, but that's not the hotel's fault -- it was people running around in the parking lot. Bottom line, if you are looking for an inexpensive place that has some nice features -- a mini-fridge (the larger size), microwave, lots of room, and conveniently located to many services such as groceries, a laudromat, plus restaurants, bars, etc. -- and you like to support local businesses, then this just might be the place for you.

As I was only in town for a couple of nights and needed to be close to the downtown core and did not need luxurious accomodations so I checked into this property. The room was nothing to write home about, but was pretty clean and the location was great. Around 4AM, I was awakened by the people staying in the room above who decided to have a bath! The noise of the pipes and water running is what initially awoke me. The it quieted down when someone was taking a bath and I nodded off again. I was awakened 20 minutes later when they released the water in the tub and I heard it gurgling and bubbling up into my bathtub!! It was not only gross and disgusting (dirty bathwater and pipe residue coating the bottom 2-3" of the tub in my room) but there was also a revolting odor in the bathroom - I had to close the door and open a window to get some relief. I spoke to the manager in the morning about the problem and his solution was to give me another room to shower in!!! This place should be reported to the local health authorities!!!

Stayed at the Cabana when the nearby Red Lion at which I was attending a conference was full. At half the price of the Red Lion, I thought the Cabana was a good value for a room that was very quiet and clean. I didn't notice any odd smells in the room as mentioned by one of the reviewers. Free internet worked OK but seemed a little sluggish in the evening. Clerks and house keeping were very pleasant.
