charming decor, trendy neighborhood, clean shared bathrooms

Noise from bar patrons and garbage trucks kept me from sleeping!!! A non-latching shower door is an unexpected breech of privacy!!! The room size felt more like a shoebox than a proper hotel accommodation, barely accommodating my suitcase!!!

i had such high hopes for the ballard inn, but the heat was unbearable with no air conditioning, and to top it off, the room was basically a shoebox! i expected a little pampering, more like a royal suite, but i guess they forgot about elite guests like me. just couldn’t give a good review after that!

the noise from the street was a bit distracting, but the location was perfect (easy walking to restaurants! ). the clean shared bathrooms were frequently checked, and the coffee bar in the morning was a lovely touch.

Consider requesting a room away from the main walkway. it provides more privacy and less noise during your stay.

the ballard inn has a great location, just steps from fantastic restaurants and the farmer's market. the access to a huge health club across the street was a nice perk for working out. the charming decor gave it a cozy feel, making it a unique and inviting place to stay.

Here’s what you need to know

The location is fantastic, surrounded by trendy spots and the Ballard Farmers' Market. Rooms are clean and the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, especially during emergencies. Beware of noise from the street and be sure to check what kind of room you’re getting—some may be outside the main building.

The Ballard Inn features charming decor and a cozy ambiance, with beautifully maintained shared bathrooms. I appreciated the cozy bed, and the quaint surroundings made it easy for me to walk to nearby restaurants and shops.

More seating or surfaces for personal items would help.

Our stay was enjoyable, especially wandering around the vibrant Ballard neighborhood. We loved having restaurants and shops just a short walk away. The complimentary access to Olympic Athletic Club was a nice perk for a workout, and the beds were incredibly cozy for our family, including our baby.

My wife says that breakfast options could be improved.

Couple lively retreat

We really enjoyed the quirky charm of the place. The staff were friendly and accommodating, which was a real bonus.

It was a bit pricey tho, for what it was.

The room was clean, but the lack of sound insulation was disappointing.

The King Room was clean and had large windows I could open for fresh air. I appreciated the premium down comforter, which made the bed inviting and cozy. The daily housekeeping was a pleasant surprise, keeping everything tidy and fresh throughout my stay.

Street noise was noticeable at night.
