Top Old Ballard Hotel Reviews

Mayflower Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was beautiful and centrally located. The rooms were a great size and well appointed. The one inconvenience was one of the elevators was out of order for a few days, which caused long waits. That being said I’d definitely stay here again."

The Belltown Inn

10/10 Excellent

"To be honest, when walking from the Light Rail along 3rd Ave to the hotel with the homeless and people who had some mental challenges, I was thinking ‘where did I book this hotel?’. But that is quite a bit of Seattle. At the hotel the staff were lovely! Warren on reception did say that she walks home at night after work and no one bothers her… and they don’t. We walked around just fine. Coffee in reception in the morning was very welcome. We loved the rooftop area where you can take your own drinks up there in the evening. This hotel is close to most everything. Lots of restaurants nearby as well as convenience stores. I see why it gets good reviews."
