The room was beautiful and clean. The amenities with the attached gym were fantastic. The parking was convenient. Nice area with a lot of walkable restaurants and bars. Would definitely stay again!
We loved the convenient location to downtown Ballard. Lots of places to eat and walk to. We did have a car and utilized the parking garage. It the parking garage was better lit that would have been ideal. The lights are motion sensitive but it is pitch dark in the garage until you are literally already in the spot that you need lighting for. Had I been traveling by myself as a single woman I would have been very hesitant to use the garage for safety reasons.

Great location, friendly staff, clean and comfortable. Will stay again!
Our stay at Hotel Ballard was great. Location is great if you want to spend time in Ballard near great food and shops. We stayed in one of the 5th floor roof top room and the views were great. Housekeeping and staff were also awesome.
Location is excellent. Right in the middle of the Sunday Market, and within easy walking distance of many fine restaurants. The rooms are comfortable, and the Nespresso machine a welcome amenity.
Great hotel. Terrific location. Convenient to everything, restaurants, shops and the Farmers Market. The best I’d access to the Olympic Athletic Club, first class facility.
Clean, gorgeous, great location, and very friendly staff! We're moving to Ballard soon and this place is so cute, it had me thinking "staycation?". Recommending to everyone I know for when they come to visit!
