(Copa) Cabana Inn

A downtown dive hotel - and I mean that in the most polite way possible. We call it the "Copa Cabana" because we unabashedly like Barry Manilow! This sign may be old, but it still looks good at night, especially when all the dingle ball bulbs are working. Funny how they've not updated the sign that I can ever remember, even leaving the "COLOR TV" sign on the post. The sign also always says "vacancy." My husband says he actually stayed in this hotel once when he was visiting Boise - back when he was scoping out new towns to call "home." I grew up around here, so it's never crossed my mind to stay here!

  1. I just came across your blog today while looking for info on the Hot Air Balloon festival. I love your blog (I have one of my own too). I don't live in Boise, yet. I'm moving there from Maryland (just outside Wash DC) in a exactly 10 days. I've only been there one time to buy a house. I can't wait to move there. I thought the city was awesome. If you don't mind, I'm going to post a link to your blog, on my blog, so that my family and friends on the east coast can get to know Boise better. :)

  2. Hi Christine - I hope I'm among the first to welcome you to Boise! Most people love it here - although, since you're coming from a bigger metro area, there will be some adjustments. Most people tell me the shopping opportunities and entertainment options are the toughest. But we still have wide-open spaces and views, and you see the mountains every day. By the way, the Spirt of Boise Balloon Festival has been canceled this year. But in the summer, you'll see balloons just about every early morning.

  4. Can you rent the rooms by the hour? That is always the mark of a classy place… ;)

  5. Hi Mo - thanks for stopping by, I checked out your blog and loved it - all those signs in Las Vegas that you can bet no one "notices" anymore.
