During my stay at Ballard Inn, I found the location to be absolutely charming, with easy access to great restaurants and bars. However, the room was quite small and lacked air conditioning, making it uncomfortable at times. While the staff was helpful, I did encounter some noise issues from the street and other guests. Overall, it was an interesting experience, but I might consider other options next time.

I had a mixed experience at Ballard Inn. On the plus side, the location was great with vibrant nightlife and easy access to downtown.

I had a unique experience staying at Ballard Inn. The location in the lively Ballard neighborhood is fantastic, surrounded by great dining options. However, my room was quite small and a bit unconventional, not accessed through the lobby. I found the lack of air conditioning a drawback, even though the fan worked fine for me. Overall, I'd consider returning if I plan another trip to Seattle, keeping in mind its quirks.

I had a mixed experience at the Ballard Inn. The location was absolutely perfect for exploring Ballard, but the rooms were way overpriced for what they offered, with issues like thin walls and noise from the street. Cleanliness was also a concern, making it hard to fully enjoy my stay.

Rooms

5.0

The room was clean but tiny and noisy. I was given a room that felt more like a closet, and the street noise kept me up at night. The bed was comfortable, but space was definitely tight with hardly any storage.

Basic facilities were acceptable, but I felt like it could use some upgrades. The gym and pool access across the street were nice perks, though.

My stay at the Ballard Inn had its high points, particularly the unbeatable location right in the heart of the charming Ballard neighborhood. However, I found the hotel itself to be quite dated and in need of a facelift, which somewhat detracted from the experience. The rooms, while comfortable, suffered from noise issues and a lack of modern amenities. Overall, I appreciated the uniqueness of the place, but I felt that the value for the price paid could have been much better. 🌟🏨
