Kasa on the River Boise

Kasa on the River Boise

10/10 Excellent
"Super clean room. Very comfy bed. Comfy bedding and towels. Great stay. A little pricey was all. Used the pool and hot tub and that was great. The pool was full of leaves and bugs but thats to be expected with an open air outdoor pool so no worries there. Very convenient on the river. Boise is a beautiful place and so clean. I felt totally safe walking around with my young daughter around the river valley"
