Idaho hotels you can book at 18
At some Idaho hotels the front desk will not register anyone younger than 21, and an 18-year-old who learns that late is stuck finding another room at the last minute. Head that off when you book by sticking to 18+ hotels. If a friend asked where in Idaho to start, the city covered below is the recommendation.

Boise
A drive down Idaho loses an hour on the clock
The honest part comes first, because this page does not cover Idaho wall to wall. Boise is the city it covers, Idaho's capital, and everything below is written for a trip headed there. If that is where you are going, there are hotels for 18-year-olds in town, and the thing left to sort is the arrival itself.
Idaho splits across two time zones, which matters if you are driving down from the panhandle. The federal boundary between Pacific and Mountain time follows the Salmon River, so the north of the state runs an hour behind Boise. Cross the river heading south and the clock jumps forward, and the nine in the evening you were counting on quietly becomes ten. Build the driving day around that missing hour.
If you are flying instead, the arrival plan is mostly about the last few miles. Boise Airport sits just south of town, about four miles and roughly ten minutes from downtown. Valley Regional Transit, the public transit authority for Ada and Canyon counties, runs regular buses to the airport, which keeps a car-free arrival on the table. Decide how you will cover those four miles when you book the room, and the whole arrival plan is done before you leave home.
