Detailed Reviews: Top Boise Hotels With Pools
1. La Quinta by Wyndham Boise Towne Square
The Vibe
Practical and unfussy. This 2-star property focuses on the basics done right — a clean room, a solid indoor pool, and a breakfast that includes fresh waffles. The 8.8 location score means you’re steps from shopping and restaurants, and the staff rating of 8.7 shows consistency.
What You Actually Get
Rooms come with air conditioning and heating, and you get free WiFi at 8.3 speed scores. The indoor swimming pool stays open year-round, and a fitness center is on-site for pre-swim workouts. Pet owners get 2 pets allowed (75 lbs max each) for a $25 nightly fee with a $75 cap. Request a jetted tub room in advance — they exist but sell out fast. Parking is free and the elevator makes upper floors accessible.
Choose this if: You want a straightforward, pet-friendly stay with an indoor pool and don’t need downtown walkability.

2. Comfort Inn & Suites Boise Airport
The Vibe
An 8.9 overall with a 9.4 staff score and 9.3 cleanliness — this is the kind of airport hotel that makes you glad your flight got delayed. Free bikes for borrowing, a hot breakfast included, and an indoor swimming pool that guests consistently praise. The 9.3 location rating is no fluke for travelers.
What You Actually Get
The indoor pool is the star here, but the free private parking and 24/7 airport shuttle make logistics effortless. Rooms score 9.4 for comfort, and the 9.1 facilities rating backs up the pool, fitness center, and restaurant reservation service. Pet fee is a reasonable $15 per pet. Must be 21 to check in. The included breakfast is a step above standard continental — guests rate it highly.
Choose this if: You need airport proximity + a quality indoor swim + free breakfast — this is the best combo on the list.

3. Hyatt Place Boise/Towne Square
The Vibe
Hyatt Place brings that familiar, spacious lobby-and-living-room energy. The indoor pool is open around the clock, and rooms come with a separate living area. Score of 8.9 on location means you’re near shopping without being downtown. The 8.6 cleanliness rating holds up well.
What You Actually Get
All rooms include a mini fridge — microwaves are only on the 4th floor high-floor rooms, so request accordingly. The indoor pool is open 24 hours, and there’s a fitness center with decent equipment. Breakfast is included but guests rate it as “okay, not great.” Pets under 50 lbs allowed on request. Must be 21 to check in. Free parking and free WiFi at 9.0 make this a solid all-rounder.
Choose this if: You want a reliable chain with a 24-hour pool and lots of living space in the room.
4. Riverside Hotel, BW Premier Collection
The Vibe
This riverside property is the only one on the list with an outdoor pool that sits alongside the Boise River. The 9.3 location score reflects the walking path access and proximity to downtown. Staff score 9.1, facilities 9.0, cleanliness 9.0 — this is a polished, well-run hotel that feels less like a chain.
What You Actually Get
The seasonal outdoor pool is the main draw, opening in warmer months. On-site dining serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner — the excellent breakfast gets consistent praise. Free airport shuttle included. The honeymoon and presidential suites have jetted tubs (“mini pool” according to guests). Pet fee is $25 one-time per pet, first-floor standard rooms only. Guests under 21 need a parent or guardian to check in.
Choose this if: You want a riverfront setting and an outdoor pool for summer lounging.
Check Tonight’s Price for Riverside Hotel, BW Premier Collection →
5. Holiday Inn Express Boise Downtown by IHG
The Vibe
One of the few outdoor pool options in downtown Boise. The 9.2 comfort score is the property’s standout — guests consistently say the beds are great. Staff rate 9.1 and the wonderful breakfast gets called out in reviews. The 9.1 location score puts you near the Greenbelt and downtown.
What You Actually Get
The seasonal outdoor swimming pool is the highlight. Free airport shuttle runs to BOI (10 minutes away). Free on-site parking — a rarity for downtown-area hotels. Pet-friendly (note: one QA says “not pet friendly” but the main policy allows pets with charges, so confirm during booking). Minimum check-in age is 18. No jetted tubs. The wonderful breakfast includes cinnamon rolls and omelets.
Choose this if: You want a summer-friendly outdoor pool with free parking and airport shuttle access.
