The Shilo would be convenient to visit the campus, it is in the middle of town. Not the greatest hotel but not bad either. Certainly a good value.
Big Jud’s is close to the campus and a good place to eat, even a regular sized burger is big. Rockies Diner was also featured on the same Travel Chanel show and is another fun place to eat. They are long time clients of mine.
There is very little CPE here at that time of year, you should check with the Idaho CPA society to see what they are offering, (idcpa.org).
