The secret is out about Boise. The quiet Idaho capital is a haven for outdoor lovers looking to get away from the crowded slopes and trails found in surrounding states. It may seem like hiking, skiing and savoring the great outdoors are no walks in the park for your wallet, but a budget break can be done, especially when you check into these cheap hotels in Boise – bookable on Culture Trip.

1. Courtyard by Marriott Boise Downtown, for a centrally located classic

Put Boise at your fingertips without putting another crease in your wallet at this Courtyard by Marriott. Downtown is yours to explore from this budget-friendly hotel. It isn’t skimping on the perks to keep the rates down, either. All king rooms have walk-in showers and oversize work desks. Also, you’ll get free airport transfers. No car is required to make the most of your extra cash; you can walk to Zoo Boise, the Boise Art Museum and hiking trails right from the hotel lobby.

2. Best Western Northwest Lodge, for hopping onto the highway

Wary of high nightly rates closer to the city? Best Western totally appreciates your suspicions. That’s why this cheap hotel on the outskirts of Boise keeps you firmly on I-84. You’ll love the free breakfasts and complimentary high-speed internet. Evening reception also treats you to your fill of milk and cookies – you won’t be finding that in just any joint. We’d tell you about the indoor pool and spa, too, but we don’t want to spoil too much of a good thing.

3. Modern Hotel and Bar, for nights in

Leave it to the Modern Hotel to give you a stylish stay while offering one of the best hotel deals in Boise. You’ll enjoy low rates without paying a cent more for airport car service, a continental breakfast or access to the Modern Bike Fleet. You’ll even be treated to an exclusive film fest via the 39 Rooms indie-flicks showcase playing on the TV in your suite – and why not pick up a zesty non-alcoholic negroni from the hotel bar?

5. Fairfield Inn by Marriott Boise, for breakfast burritos

Nearly all of the cheap hotels in Boise have a free breakfast buffet, but Fairfield Inn is one of the few that have a burrito and salsa bar to wake you up. Sizzle up your sunrise without spicing up your budget, and dive into this tasty buffet. Free wifi, a pool and a complimentary airport shuttle are also wrapped up alongside the morning meal, drowning your trip in savings like a dollop of sour cream on your breakfast burrito.

6. Comfort Inn and Suites Boise Airport, for a cheap airport stay

Comfort Inn and Suites knows that to stay busy in Boise, you can’t be bothered with delays. Its shuttle will be at the airport on time to pick you up and drop you off. You may roll into the hotel during a complimentary evening reception or the free breakfast. Either way, it’ll have a free bicycle rental ready for you to ride out into the city on a whim. Got a little time to kill anyway? The hot tub is calling.

7. SpringHill Suites by Marriott Boise ParkCenter, for a suite sleep

This all-suite Boise hotel gives you a little more room to breathe, sliding in a mini-fridge and a wet bar into your suite to let you kick back and relax. You won’t feel too far from downtown at all; bicycle rentals plus the trails behind the hotel will have you right in the heart of Boise if you follow the river north.

8. La Quinta Inn and Suites by Wyndham Boise Towne Square, for retail therapy

La Quinta Inn and Suites invites you to stay behind and shop while the others hit the ski slopes. This hotel right in the thick of Boise Towne Square offers up instant entertainment. Sun or snow in the forecast doesn’t matter; the warm pool and hot tub are indoors. Sleep in, walk over to the nearby retail shops after the complimentary breakfast, and make it back to the hotel just in time to have free cookies in the evening.

9. Country Inn and Suites by Radisson, Boise West, ID, for a fun-filled vacation

Don’t think of the Country Inn and Suites as being a little outside the center of Boise; this western hotel in Meridian is just a little closer to the Roaring Springs Water Park and its endless flumes. Tea, coffee and breakfast are all gratis, but you’ll likely want to fill up on the free cookies in the cozy lobby. There’s a fitness center and a pool on-site if you need to release some energy.

10. Inn America Boise, for frugal families

The Inn America is one of those hotels that offers the rare and wonderful triple-bed guest room. So, say goodbye to getting a little too close and stretch out in peace. The outdoor pool, breakfast (including waffles, bagels and fresh fruit) and lobby coffee are all free, so no unexpected surprises there. Without having to share the sheets, the only thing you’ll quarrel over in the triple room is who gets to control the television remote.
