Room was nice, clean and we had a nice stay. Only negatives were the 2nd floor smelled like weed both days and the shower water fluctuated from hot to warm when taking showers. Staff was nice and helpful. Would try this hotel again, great location in downtown Ballard - nice shops/restaurants in walking distance.

Very pleased with our stay at the Hotel Ballard. Rooms were clean and comfortable and a juliet balcony a plus on a sunny fall day. Bonus to be able to overlook the farmers market and stroll up the street. Convenient parking and easy to get to main roads when needed. Would definitely stay again!

Disappointing stay. Lack of hot water, light bulbs burned out, charge for parking (not mentioned at check in), dirt along the baseboards Phoned to ask about extra charges- 25 minutes on hold. Unfriendly response when I mentioned this wait time. This hotel charges high end rates (almost $400 a night) - I would encourage it to try harder. I would mention this is my actual first bad review to any hotel. So to illicit this response - I would say it wasn’t a good one.
