We found the Modern to be comfortable, clean, and quite fun. The restaurant and bar served very good food and had a good selection of drinks. We would surely stay here again. Most of the staff were friendly and helpful. More

A great deal if you're looking for a comfortable, clean and quiet place. The staff was energetic and friendly - you could tell that they really like working there. The minimalist decor was refreshing without the typical insipid piece of artwork looming over the bed. The breakfast bar had fantastic coffee, juice, very tasty bagels, yogurt and fresh granola.

Once you get over the fact that it's a converted Travelodge and that the doors open right to the street, it's a very good place. It's not too far from downtown Boise (15 min walk, maximum) and each room has a minimalist European feel to it, which reminded me of places in Amsterdam and Oslo. Definitely not what I expected...

My wife and I stayed here one night based on a high recommendation from a friend. Very cool concept and it almost works. We liked the design of the rooms but they just didn't have a good balance, especially the bathroom. The style is high end but it somehow clashes with the fact that the hotel used to be a... More

My husband I go to Boise quarterly to do some volunteer work for a nonprofit and discovered the Modern Hotel and Bar on Trip Advisor. It was newly renovated with a fun retro chic style decor, had a lively bar and was very affordable for downtown at $99/night. Our only complaint was that the room was kind of cold when... More

From the outside, this looks like a nicely renovated Travelodge. (I seriously think it was) but renovated by some people with really good taste who have traveled a lot. Once you get past the weirdness of your door opening to the great outdoors, the following features are nice: -Great location downtown, but not in a noisy area. -The most mind-blowing... More

We are impressed by the high-end decor, Aveda toiletries and the helpfulness of the staff. They accomodated our dogs and 14' trailer, as we are moving across country. We had the best meal of our trip at the Modern Bar. We thought we'd go for cocktails and apps but were hooked by the sophisticated atmosphere and delicious fare. Definitely a... More

The Modern was an excellent stay and the bed was very comfortable. I can see how in summer it could get loud there, as there is not a lot of noise cancellation through walls and such. It was a bit noisy when we returned from our concert, but settled not long after. The morning was a bit noisy too, as... More

Most of all, it's the people that make the "Modern" great. From the front desk to the incredible bar staff (just ask a cocktail question). Great morning buffet won't weigh you down and the coffee is definitely worth getting up for. The rooms have been efficiently "Modernized" with an eye for design. Don't come here looking for the hotel rooms... More
