The name pays homage to Lucianna (Lucy) Aboitiz Garatea, a Basque immigrant dedicated to boarding and feeding locals. At the age of 15, Lucy came to Boise at the request of her aunt (Gabina Aguirre) to work at the boarding house she and her husband (Franciso) owned, the Star Rooming House, now part of Boise's Historic District.
Like those who came before, The Lucy offers you the opportunity to proudly be a part of the City of Trees while exploring and experiencing Boise like never before.
