Very very small room. d.

No breakfast provided only coffee service. Old fashioned hotel which I expected, bathroom across the hall. Nice that robe was provided. I appreciated the complimentary parking and pass to health club (but I didnt have time to use the latter.)

Did not mention there was NO elevator, and NO bathrooms inside the rooms!

I wish there were more places outside my room where wi fi was good. I also wish there had been more then.A couple of pieces of fruit available in the morning.

The people work great and the bed was extremely comfortable

I wish my room was slightly bigger

This is a sister inn of the Ballard Hotel, and I got to use the same amenities as those who stay at the hotel. The highlight is the Olympic gym access. The location is so close to many restaurants and bars

Unit was street level and subject to noise from pedestrians walking by the window.

No hairdryer in room. I booked a shared bathroom, not an issue but would like a hairdryer and coffee/tea supplies in the room.

Great location but next to a gym so woke up to aerobics class noise.

Shared bathroom was a little strange and it is a noisy area

Great location for going out

Room was hot and on ground floor, so we weren't comfortable sleeping with the window open. Expensive room considering it was a shared bathroom etc.

Great location, very close to bars and restaurants.

Great charming place!

Location was perfect between lots of restaurants and bars. We had beautiful weather during the stay and were able to enjoy the sound of the rain hitting the leaves of the trees. Walking to/from this location is easy from the bus system. The powder rooms were always spotless. The portable AC unit in the room also cooled the area effectively and allowed us to remain comfortable. I did not think it was too noisy and we had no issues with the nightlife.

No one at front desk but you just went next door to check in.

Location and price were excellent, very clean and charming and sharing a restroom and shower was perfectly fine! Coffee in lobby so it was great

I liked it all, would have been nice to have a person at front desk but it was no problem

Great small boutique hotel, minor ammenities but all really clean and nice and bed super comfie… we shared facilities and they were super clean and it was not awkward

Because it’s an old building, there is a bit of noice

Very central location. Access to amazing gym and swimming facilities. Lots of character and charm in hotel as well as street

Stayed in April 2024

External noise from people on the street in the very early morning. Old building so noice insulation is not up to modern standards. They did provide ear plugs in the room.

Great location and charming environment

If you don't like the idea of a hostel style shared bathroom situation this place isn't for you.

You can't beat the location. You can wake up in the morning on Sundays and the Ballard market is just outside your door. There are so many great restaurants within steps. The beds are so cozy and the facility is well kept.

it was fine but a little more light in the room would be nice.

The Ballard Inn location is amazing. Close to cafes, restaurants, bars and shopping. Sunday farmers market was also a bonus!

The room was tiny and cramped.

This place is nothing much, but I'm giving it a 9 nevertheless. Why? The staff were wonderful, and the location was ideal. I had a couple of emergencies -- one with my health, the other with my rental car -- while there, and the hotel concierge was extremely kind and helpful.

Stayed in July 2023

Street noise, as well as noise from other guests (especially after 1 AM having special times I'd rather not hear...). A lot of bars and restaurants nearby which is kind of nice, but I would have preferred a grocery store within 2 blocks instead. The nearest grocery stores are not far away but too far to feel comfortable walking there alone after 9pm. Other neighborhoods (Ravenna, Queen Anne, Fremont, Montlake, Bainbridge, etc.) are far more pleasant locations in my opinion. Ballard is very industrial and treeless. I won't stay in Ballard area again.

Room was clean and was ventilated (I could open the windows).

Stayed in July 2023

The rooms are so tiny; it's not a place to hang out, only to sleep. No fridge or microwave, and have to go across the street to get ice.

Perfect location, nice furnishings, clean bathrooms.

it was quite loud outside but they have provided me with ear plugs.

such a sweet Inn this was, it was very clean considering there was a shared washroom. The bed was very comfortable too.

small rooms.

great location and deliciously soft sheets

The area is lively and quirky although quite far out of town. Tricky to find first time.
