The hotel is very basic in appearance with no particular theme. This hotel rooms located on the back face the Greenbelt and thus have nice views of the water and trees. Make sure to reserve a hotel room which faces the Greenbelt and river for the most peaceful views.

The hotel room was pretty basic and included a microwave and fridge. There was no coffee pot in the room, but there was 24 hour free coffee and tea in the lobby. The highlight of the room was definitely the views of the river. Grab your morning coffee or tea, kick back on the patio for a bit, the get your butt over to the Greenbelt for an amazing workout.

I booked this hotel online through hotels.com for a mere $64 per night. This was not a bad deal considering that the room included a balcony with a nice view of the river. Rates on the website vary from $75-95, although I recommend checking other discount sites for a better deal.

Shilo Inn Boise Riverside is an affordable hotel which offers convenient access to outdoor recreation on the Greenbelt. The steam room, great views, and Tazo green tea were bonuses. As one inconvenience, there were no restaurants within walking distance of he hotel. I would likely only stay here again if I found a cheap rate and was traveling for the primary purpose of accessing the Greenbelt. If you are not using the Greenbelt, then there are better hotel options in the Boise area for a similar price.
