Hostels open in Kellogg, Boise

OUTDOOR TRAVEL — Two hostels have opened in Idaho this season, including one in the Silver Valley that’s convenient to the Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes . Hostels are ideal for bicycle tourists.

Closed for years, Kellogg’s historic McKinley Inn is back open, resurrected as a hostel.  Guests can find a bed for as little as $25 a night.  The building has been spruced up to offer hostel-style bunk beds in shared rooms and private rooms, turning the historic landmark, complete with some original 1920s-era mementos, into a thrifty place to spend the night.

In the heart of downtown Boise, Idahostel is centrally located near many fun and interesting sites and activities in the city. It is a clean, safe, and quiet facility within walking distance of restaurants, shops, attractions and services in downtown.
