As previous reviewers have stated, the physical facility including the rooms and public areas are beautiful. The lobby is paneled with wood, it is quite attractive, even more so than a typical Hilton Garden Inn. The rooms are large, many with balconies overlooking the Greenbelt. Bardenay is a great restaurant and is right next door. Everybody in this hotel gave me great customer service.
There were some downsides thought, which resulted in the three out of five rating:
- Housekeeping sprays the rooms with perfume, I've never experienced that before and frankly I didn't like it.
- The TVs, while flat panel, have a very poor selection of regular def programming. There guestnet forces you to go to two screens before you can navigate the channels; this process takes at least a minute. The guestnet is sluggish, changing channels is time consuming and extremely annoying.
- Breakfast isn't up to par. I've stayed at several Hilton Garden Inn properties, this one's restaurant doesn't serve as good a breakfast as most. The fruit isn't always fresh, oatmeal is often too lose, omeletes are usually bigger and better.
- rooms are decorated weirdly in some cases. There is one suite room with a giant shelving unit separating the bedroom area from the living room area. There isn't a dresser in the room. The giant shelving unit doesn't have a single decorative item on it. It just feels weird.
- Hotel is kind of far from Boise - I was here on business, working mostly in Meridian and also in Boise. It is far from everything (this may not be a negative for others, however).
From my point of view, if I'm going to travel to a less convenient location, there has to be a compelling reason. While good, this property wasn't good enough to meet that standard. If you need to stay in Eagle, however, this is your only choice. It is generally quite good though.
