Anniversary Inn Boise

Near the old Boise depot it’s in a great spot. Service was great even when we got there late. The room was alright, had some heating issues but I don’t think it’s typical haha.

The room themes were pretty unique and fun to look at, which definitely made for a memorable stay. I really enjoyed the free cider and cheesecake, those were great little touches. However, the place is starting to feel a bit worn down in some spots and could really use a deep cleaning and some updates to keep it feeling comfortable. It is okay for a quick night away but maybe not somewhere I would plan a long vacation.

I have no idea why this hotel exists but I am so glad it does. We stayed in a barn-themed room that was spacious, functional and immaculately prepared, in addition to being filled with taxidermy chickens, horse tack, a fake fire and a shower that poured from a windmill sluice. Breakfast was served at our door. The staff were terrific. Can’t wait to have a reason to return and try out another theme.

My husband and I stayed for our anniversary last night and our experience was WONDERFUL! The staff were friendly and we felt very welcome from the moment we walked in. We stayed in one of the Country Garden rooms. It was absolutely adorable! Breakfast was hot and tasty. The entire stay was unforgettable in the best way! We will most definitely return!

My wife and I stayed at the anniversary and the sultans palace room and had a fantastic time. We were celebrating a three day weekend and a staycation and just really needed to get out of the house for a bit. I was very happy we went with anniversary in. The sultans palace featured to statue elephants in the room, a very large Jacuzzi tub for two, a waterfall shower, a TV with lots of movies to choose from, and a small picnic table for food, card games, and just hanging out. I was most excited about the Jacuzzi tub for two. It definitely heat it up quick, but it was very relaxing to feel the jets against the body after a long work week. The bed was surprisingly comfortable. I always bring my own pillows when traveling via car, but the bed was super comfortable, and I was able to fall asleep with ease. The room was very clean, spacious, and inviting. Complementary breakfast was nice. They actually had some gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options. Was pleasantly surprised. Overall, one of the better themed hotel stays I’ve ever experienced. We’ll definitely come back again.

We stayed at Anniversary Inn on Friday, May 15, 2026, for our 8th wedding anniversary. This was supposed to be a special remembrance stay for us because we also stayed here on our wedding night 8 years ago. My husband booked our room over a month in advance, and we reserved the Hollywood Suite, which was the room we had always wanted to stay in. A week before our stay, they called my husband and told him that room was no longer available, even though it had already been reserved for weeks. He requested another Diamond Suite, and they told him not to worry because the Marble Suite was available. We checked in at 4:00 PM. The room was much smaller than expected, and the wine my husband paid for and specifically requested was not in the room. The spa essentials were there, so we decided not to make a fuss at first. After dinner, we returned around 9:30 PM and tried to use the spa bathtub, which is one of the main reasons people stay at this hotel. The water was extremely hot, and when my husband tried to turn it down, the water would not shut off at all. The water became so dangerously hot that we quickly jumped out to avoid getting burned or injured because we had no way to stop it. We had to get out, get dressed, and call the front desk. Joann came to our room, and instead of trying to problem-solve or reassure us, she immediately said there were no rooms available and asked whether we planned to stay or leave. Rather than helping us find a solution, she seemed more focused on getting an answer from us than resolving the issue itself. From the moment she arrived, we felt like she was more than happy to see us leave instead of trying to save our anniversary experience or help make things right. We asked if the issue could be fixed first. Maintenance came, and after we waited in our car for about half an hour, the tub was still not properly fixed. The maintenance employee, Donny, was shocked that no one had tried to move us and confidently told us that we would absolutely receive a full refund because of the situation. He seemed certain that this was the obvious outcome. Later, when my husband spoke with Joann and referenced what Donny had said, she immediately shut it down and said he could not make those statements and should not have said that. It was incredibly frustrating to receive completely conflicting information from staff while already dealing with a ruined anniversary evening. We were then told the faucet had been stripped and that pliers could be left for us if we wanted to try using the tub ourselves. We did not feel comfortable with that at all. The whole reason we stayed there was for the themed room and spa tub experience, and that experience was completely ruined. We ended up checking out before midnight and driving 45 minutes home to Mountain Home. What made this even more frustrating was how everything was handled afterward. We were not offered any refund, partial refund, credit, or even another stay at a later date. Nothing. We were simply told that “a manager would contact us.” There was no attempt to make things right, no empathy, and no effort to save our anniversary experience. The property itself also feels very neglected. The hallway carpets looked filthy and stained and honestly did not appear to have changed much since we stayed there 8 years ago. For $300–$400 a night, this is unacceptable. The staff overall seemed undertrained, overwhelmed, and not equipped to handle guest issues with even basic hospitality. This place could be amazing if the owners invested more into maintenance, staffing, and customer service. Unfortunately, our anniversary night was ruined, and my husband and I have decided we will never stay there again. For anyone considering spending this much money on a room here, think carefully. You are paying for an experience, and sadly this was nowhere close to one worth paying for.
