Ballard at its best!

No Air conditioning but lots of fans and we were glad to book a room with ensuite bathroom. Our corner room was wonderful! And withthe Farmer's Market right putside, what a great and lively street to enjoy!

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.

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.

the room was in a building not staffed close to the sidewalk. So small the bed took up all space in room no closet and the television required a computer specialist to make it work. The best thing about the room was a very comfortable bed

Wonderful spot in the heart of Ballard! Outdoor noise is less than I expected during the week, however noise from other occupants coming and going is disruptive at times.

This is an old hotel that has no staffing - you must go to another hotel nearby to checkin. This hotel was stuffy and smelly, the room was very, very basic, with standing AC unit with pipe out the window, remote control for TV didn't work. Paying $300+ for this room felt outlandish. The staff (who come from the other hotel) were lovely, the other hotel is lovely. But please know that the pictures of the gym are not in this facility, which is rather run down.
