Best Western Vista Inn At The Airport

Stayed here while moving from Washington to Arizona and larry, the guy at the desk, was very polite and accommodating. We were hauling my car and asked if it was possible to get a room near our cars and he gladly switched our rooms. That is where things go down hill. The room was nice enough. The pillows were slightly bigger than throw pillows, the bed was really firm — like pillow top over a box spring firm-​, there was a weird smell and the a/​c didn’t work… We pulled in around midnight and got about an hour and a half of sleep after everything was said and done. Would never stay here again. The two stars are for Larry and being able to stay in a structure so my wife could sleep.

Convenient location. Rooms were clean and nice. Our tv was not working and they offered us another room immediatly. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Will definitely stay again.

Stayed here over night when my husband had an early flight from the airport. Originally I was going to book a room at the other Best Western (Airport Inn) versus this one which is the Vista Inn At The Airport. By reading the reviews I think there is some confusion as to which hotel is which. So the Vista Inn the bigger, nicer looking hotel on the south side of Airport Way. Airport Inn is to the north next to Denny’s
Vista Inn ended up being quite a being cheaper for a single king versus a single queen at the other BW. We had a first floor room on the inside of the hotel. The inside rooms all have interior windows, which is weird. Also not very sound proof. As I’m writing this I can hear the TV from a neighboring room or something.
The room is clean and the bed comfortable. There’s a nice leather recliner and the TV is wall mounted and on a swivel so we could watch TV from the bed. Neither of us slept well but I think it was mostly due to being hyper aware and light sleepers. There was some noise but nothing noticeable much after 10 pm.
Breakfast was decent. Slightly more than pastries and fruit as many hotels seem to consider an acceptable breakfast. Coffee tasted fresh and was good as far as hotel coffee goes.
Our key cards did not work when we first tried to use them and then after we came back from dinner the key I had did not work but the one my husband had did work.
I would certainly stay here again but I will be requesting an outside room. I hope that would eliminate some of the noise issue and I prefer to be able to see my car in the parking lot from the room.

The staff is friendly. The free breakfast was good. But the building is very loud, you can hear everyone in every room around you. If there’s kids, you’re going to hear them from two halls over. if you are on the first floor it will sound like an elephant is walking above you, the thumping is terrible. The worst thing was my room had an old smoke smell to it and there was a fly, mosquito and some crawley roach looking bug in it.

This establishment gets 5 stars for what we needed it for: a decent place to stay the night while driving west.
Reserved it via Hotel Tonight app, price was right. Rolled in at 10pm after 14 hour drive, just in time for complimentary milk and cookies, yum! I liked the atrium style lobby.
Quick check in, room more than adequate and clean. Appreciated the mini fridge. Interior window was interesting but with blinds closed no big deal. Quiet all night long, comfortable bed. Good water pressure. Breakfast had plenty to choose from, I appreciated the hard-​boiled eggs and boyfriend made a waffle. Coffee was quite good.
Took a peek at the indoor pool, looked clean and inviting. 6am-​11pm is pretty generous for pool access! Everyone who worked here that I encountered was very nice and helpful.
Would definitely stay here again.

This review is just for the parking
No truck parking. Even though I reserved a room Cuz they said they have it. When i arrived there was nothing. The desk lady came out to greet me in the parking lot. Then said yeah I don’t know if your truck will fit. Even though I asked if there is tractor trailer parking. Unfortunately I had to go somewhere else

The lobby is nice.
Lots of space for parking.
But the room is the ugliest out of all the Best Westerns I’ve been too. The room, especially the carpet, is gross and dirty.
It’s like a zero star hotel.

This Hotel is honestly quite disgusting. The rooms look like they are Hollywood sets from a slasher movie, at one point I was almost expecting someone with a machete to come busting through the door while you’re in a director say action. The television in my room did not work nor did the refrigerator. It was quite difficult to follow sleep with the three guys standing around the truck outside my room drinking all night and shouting. My reservation was actually for three days after my first fun filled night I canceled the other two days and checked out and went to a nicer hotel downtown. This experience taught me not to go running to the best Western brand.

We waited to get a room until we got to town vs. booking online because we were pulling a trailer and wanted a ground floor room where we could park in front.
This hotel was perfectly located, next to the airport. This, I think, made it very expensive to stay at, plus we had to pay an additional pet fee.
They charged us $ 125, plus taxes. The room was clean but really old. The light fixture in the bathroom was broken and the fan was really noisy.
I’m sure the hotels down the road are nicer and less expensive.

Wonderful motel! Especially after that horrible one in Jackson, WY (Teton Gables Motel). Everything was clean and nice, and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

I booked this hotel because the event that I was a part of was held in the hotels conference center. I had an early flight and arrived early for check in. I had requested a King, and all that they had clean was a handicap room. I told the desk that I wanted to make sure that there was a recliner or love seat in the room as I read and work in my down time. When I walked in the room it was really small but with a large bathroom and walk in shower. The TV was hung on the wall with a small desk and desk chair — no love seat or recliner. I stayed in the room that night but was not comfortable. The next morning I was telling the sales manager about the room and she worked with the front desk to get me moved.
I don’t typically stay at Best Western and the room snafu could have ruined the experience for me. To be honest, the room choice was mostly mine and not the front desk. What changed my star rating was the abundance of help from the staff at this hotel. They are very pleasant and work hard to make your stay AND event the best it can be. I travel nearly 3 – 4 weeks a month, and I would definitely come back to this hotel if I am in the area again.
Good job!

Needs a lot of work. Tiny bit of tp in the Bathroom. Meant to make reservations across the street but my husband didn’t want to move. Looks like new owners.
4:00 am We had to unplug a lamp because it was shorting out and coming off and on. The clock radio woke us in the middle of the night hissing and popping — we unplugged it also. But the dog is comfortable.

Pretty good for what you pay for. Room was really small, a little noisy, but clean and comfortable enough. Continental breakfast was good. Good place for a short stay. Staff was nice and helpful.

It’s a best western, so not a great hotel. But clean, nice rooms. Service is great. Very nice people work here. If you want to stay in an inexpensive hotel this place is right next to the airport and about the best you will find. Some rooms open to the inside of the atrium — doesn’t feel very private. But other rooms open to the outside like a traditional motel.

I’m already a fan if the hotel is near /​within walking distance of the airport. In fact, it’s probably my #1 criterion. There are two Best Westerns near Boise Airport. This is the fancier looking one with more neon on the right as you’re driving towards it. It’s a professional looking building. Never had any problems checking in or out, the staff are courteous and friendly and the rooms are very basic but clean with a tiny frig as a bonus. Hot breakfast in the morning. Milk and cookies at night. The heating was perfect since the weather was still brisk during my visit. You just need to make sure to check the shuttle schedule if you need to make a flight (if you’re not walking). To wrap it all up nicely with a neat little bow, the rates are very reasonable.

The interior décor may be hokey with an outdoor indoor theme, but it has it where it counts. Our room was clean, up to date, comfortable, and quiet. The included breakfast bar was also better than expected with hard boiled eggs and a waffle maker. Check in and check out was fast with friendly staff. It worked out well for a short stay next to the airport.

Not for anyone with severe allergies because, when we arrived, we found that both the room and the central covered atrium were heavily perfumed. Spacious but poorly designed room in the shape of a «U» with the bed in one leg of the «U» opposite the door (open the door and anyone in the atrium looks directly in on your bed), a couch in the base and the bathroom in the other leg. The TV was firmly mounted to a wall where it was hard to see from the couch and impossible to see from the bed. Ours was an inside room with a window opening to the large, echoing atrium, which transmitted the voices of passing guests into the room. The motel was quiet the night of our stay but, because thoughtless guests may enter the atrium at night, there is a potential noise problem. You might want to request an outside room. The front side of the motel overlooks a road but that is typical of most motels. The back side looks through a chain link fence into the jet exhausts of transports parked at the airport, but this is a small city and the airport virtually shuts down at night. Staff was untrained and unpolished bordering on rude, but did try to be helpful. The high bathroom lights were inadequate for shaving shadowed areas under the chin. The central HVAC was quieter than the individual HVAC units found in most motels and did not blow air directly across the bed. The free continental breakfast was extensive, with waffles, adult cereal and decent tea; but the yogurt was flavored, the bread was ballooned and the coffee was bad. Pluses were free cookies at night, a free newspaper in the morning, and a rack of popular magazines to borrow and read.
