Greetings all!
I seek the assistance of you fine Boiseans.

I'm writing a novel that takes place in 1998, and some characters make a quick overnight stop in Boise, at a motel. And I have a thing about accuracy. 😅

I can see that currently there is a Super 8 Wyndham at 2773 W Elder St by the airport.
I have to imagine that there has been a motel in that spot for a long time, but it's possible that it wasn't Super 8 in 1998.
So, I'm curious if anyone has any information that could help me.
Even just a name of the motel in that spot in 1998 would be great. But if anyone has pictures of the inside or outside around that time, that would be incredible.
I would also take a different motel that existed in 1998 in a location that is quick to get to from I-84, if you have extra information about a specific one.

Thanks so much for your time!

I went to Valu Village, and picked up a few weird looking VHS (as you do), and when I was entering them into my collection spreadsheet (as you do), I looked this one up, and the first result was the Fandom Lost Media Archive for it, which says that there was no trace of it online.

I've never really been a part of the lost media community, so I don't know if there is any etiquette around this stuff. But I wanted to make sure it found its way online, so it's on my YouTube channel for now. I'd appreciate if you'd watch it there if you're going to (just to get my watchtime up lmao). But it's also on The Internet Archive for you to easily download.

I'm not sure if there is anything else I should do, but if there is please let me know!
