Staff was great! Location was awesome and felt very safe! Room was clean. Room was also facing busy streets so it was noisy late into the night. Earplugs were provided. The first night the room was too warm, so they provided a fan the second night which was a win to cool things down as well as drown out the noise. The bed was really hard…

Our room and stay received an excellent rating because we reserved a room with a bathroom. We could not imagine having a shared bath and toilet.

As long as you are ok with the shared bath situation, this little sister of Hotel Ballard is a great deal. Ideally located, very comfortable beds, and way quieter than we expected given the busy and vibrant neighborhood. Staff was great as well.

Our room was beautiful, clean, and comfortable. The only things that could be improved are having to go across the street to get ice and no phone in the room.

Great location and the access to the gym is awesome. We didn’t realize when booking that the room had a shared shower and bathroom, but that was never a problem and the facilities were clean. Really comfortable bed.

Quaint and comfortable

We chose the Ballard Inn as it was close to the cruise ship port. The area around the Ballard Inn is very quaint and easy to get around. Easy access to restaurants and shopping. The Ballard in is more of a B and B style. Shared bathrooms and smaller rooms but no restaurant as there are many within walking distance.
