There are no services but I'm self contained in the van. Once the sun set, the stars came out and my night vision settled in, it was amazing. So very quiet out here and with absolutely no light pollution, I could see millions and millions of stars. Other than some noise of a truck or two in the night passing by, there was no noise. There might have been a police patrol, but I was sound asleep. And because it's Idaho, I was able to take my firearm out of its locked box and have it nearby just in case. No worries, I was undisturbed and had a great night's sleep here before continuing on through the mountains to Marsing and Nampa. [Review 17751 overall - 31 in Idaho - 1272 of 2022.]

Amazing service by a staff that are truly ambassadors for the brand and create an incredible atmosphere. The hotel is very clean and very inviting from the lobby to the rooms. Our room layout was wonderful and the room was loaded with amenities. It was quiet and easy to navigate. Location is central to downtown so it's really easy to walk to the nightlife after dinner. Rooftop was amazing and what a view. We also made reservations at the Supper Club and it too was incredible. Service was impeccable while not being overbearing. The food was amazing and very fairly priced. Cannot wait to go back and eat more off the menu. Overall, I cannot believe there is a better hotel to stay at in Boise. Do yourself a favor and enjoy a "staycation" at the Renegade.

For more than eight years, the Hilton Garden Inn Boise Spectrum has been our "home away from home"…read morewhenever we stayed in Boise. The hotel itself was always comfortable and dependable, but the restaurant was historically what you would expect from typical hotel dining -- perfectly acceptable, but nothing especially memorable. In fact, we routinely walked across the street to Legends whenever we wanted a truly enjoyable meal. That has completely changed since Chef Todd Simtonson arrived. What Chef Todd has done with the food program here is nothing short of remarkable. He has transformed ordinary hotel dining into an experience genuinely worth looking forward to. The quality, creativity, consistency, and presentation now rival many standalone restaurants. I recently stayed at the hotel for 13 nights while recovering from knee surgery, and Chef Todd's food and hospitality honestly became one of the highlights of my stay. After long recovery days, it truly felt at times like having my own personal chef. That level of care and consistency made a huge difference during what could have otherwise been a difficult trip. Even better, Chef Todd personally checks on guests and clearly cares whether people are enjoying their meals. That kind of pride and personal attention is increasingly rare. The specials have been outstanding. The fried pork chops and grits were absolutely phenomenal -- comfort food elevated to restaurant-quality cuisine. The meatloaf was so good I went back for a second helping after practically licking the plate clean. Even the Caesar salad is dramatically better than it used to be. This is no longer "good hotel food." This is legitimately excellent dining hidden inside a Hilton Garden Inn. The entire staff deserves credit for making guests feel welcome, but Chef Todd has brought something truly special to this property. We are already looking forward to returning in June. Highly recommended.

Issues: As a Hilton Diamond member you get a set amount of credit daily to utilize on the property. At this location it's $10 a day. I purchased several snacks using my credit and as always they charged me for them on my final bill. This occurs roughly 75% of the time, I am not sure why Hilton can't figure this out since it's a perk that they chose to offer. Check your bill. Shout out-Front Desk- Gloria at the front desk! Super helpful and working on fixing my bill.
