The room was clean and had nice decor. There was a small view of the water. The hotel is in the middle of downtown Ballard and within walking distance to everything. Road construction makes parking confusing. This is beyond the control of the hotel though.

Great propert
Wonderful property. We stayed in a King room; the bed was comfortable and the room was quiet and clean. Parking was a bit of a pain to find, especially with nearby road construction. I think some clearer signage on where the parking lot can be provided but that is about my only criticism.

Cool but odd town
Very quaint cool place. Hotel was perfect, if you have never been to Ballard you should do your research. Cool but a bit of a sleepy town at night. Probably better in summer months. Immediate surroundings seem sketchy but then again it’s a water town.
