I love the people who work for the Ballard Inn, and the area is perfect to visit Seattle. The gym accompanying the Ballrd Inn is the best part.

Little weekend getaway with husband. Looked for a place to enjoy the Seattle city life, but not literally be in Seattle. It was located in Ballard city / downtown? It was literally on the city sidewalk so you’d hear people walking their dog and stuff. The overall stay was more for location convenience but comfort was on the downside. Shared bathrooms and thin walls it’d remind you of college dorming days. How the listing says 3 people can stay is beyond me cause that Full bedroom was relatively small. Mattress could also stand for update as the middle sinks you in. Not fun with two people waking up achy. Overall it was a nice stay and unique experience to do once.

If you're just staying the night, it's not bad. However, you can hear everything - to the point that they provide you with earplugs. The TV cut in and out of signal. Check-in was a bit confusing as you check-in at the hotel, not the inn. The room and bathrooms/shower room themselves were clean.

Overall, it wasn't a good experience. We paid for a King deluxe suite and were given a standard room on the ground floor. It was pretty noisy, but that's to be expected given the location of the hotel. However, the window couldn't be closed because of the AC unit, which brought smoke into the room. The TV didn't work, the mattress was uncomfortable, and the shower was tiny. It wasn't worth the money and I won't be back.

This is a historical hotel that has been fixed up but you have to understand that it’s small rooms and shared bathrooms/shower. There is no staff to greet you. It’s all done at their more expensive hotel a few feet down. The bed was very comfortable. It’s a bit noisy w thin walls and traffic going by. For what it is, the price is a bit too high.

Great location and the access to the gym is awesome. We didn’t realize when booking that the room had a shared shower and bathroom, but that was never a problem and the facilities were clean. Really comfortable bed.

We felt the property description was devoid of the limits in our room. No chair, no dresser, no in suite, very small room. The air conditioner was welcome but took up a fair share of our limited space and was very loud. It is clean with a large bed but in our opinion does not justify the price. For a little more you can get much more; you’re paying a lot for location which is great. Felt safe with a lively neighborhood.

It is a very quaint European style room. We didn’t spend much time in the room. It was in a great location in downtown Ballard, Washington. There is no one at the desk to assist in anything so you have to call them and the other location Ballard hotel, is just down the street. We would definitely stay again. It was the best location to walk around and see the sites.

My mistake but upon checkin we discovered our room did not have its own bathroom and was shared. The price did not reflect a tiny room with a shared bathroom. We checked out and booked at their sister property for triple the price. That room was fine. Again, the pricing did not reflect the level of amenities you would expect. No robe, no mini bar, coffee wasn’t great… just a ‘meh’ experience

Hidden parking fees per night, rooms not what they show on picture, and you have to walk across the street to get to your room, not worth the price, never staying here again.

The Ballard Inn, while smaller than the Ballard Hotel, is a gem of a property and we highly recommend it! The reception area is often closed so you have to go to the Ballard Hotel to get your room cards/check in, but it's only a couple of buildings down and not a hassle. The shared bathrooms are very well-maintained and clean; the rooms are small but beautiful and are the perfect size if you're staying in Seattle for a night or two. All in all, a great place with a wonderful history that shouldn't be overlooked!

The staff was very helpful and friendly- we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The history of the the location was very interesting as well. We were able to walk to the Ballard Locks and the Botanical Garden from the inn.

We arrived super early and the folks at the Hotel Ballard (the sister property) were super welcoming. Our primary reason for not giving a 5-star rating is that the room was very, very small. It was too small for two people to stay in very long. But if you want a nice, clean place to stay in a great part of Seattle at a very good price, the Ballard Inn is a good choice.

We chose the Ballard Inn as it was close to the cruise ship port. The area around the Ballard Inn is very quaint and easy to get around. Easy access to restaurants and shopping. The Ballard in is more of a B and B style. Shared bathrooms and smaller rooms but no restaurant as there are many within walking distance.

A simple, no frills place with the added bonus of providing free access to the Olympic Athletic Club, right across the street. It’s quite reasonably priced for the Seattle area. One caveat, I think the place may have a rodent problem as I noticed what I think was mouse poop in the shared washroom -by the sink and by the hallway light switch fixture. It’s an old building so I’m sure a few mice may be inevitable, but a bit off putting nonetheless.

My room was very cute and comfortable. The shared bathrooms was fine… That comes with these older hotels. I think it should be a little more clear that the pools and spa are in a building next-door. Also, it was weird that I had to walk to their other hotel across the road and upstairs to get ice (frustrating) Otherwise, it was nice.

Ballard Inn is located right in the heart of Ballard. Fantastic location. Ballard has an amazing Farmers' Market every Sunday which we enjoyed so much more than Pike's Place Market. And the locks and a garden are within walking distance. Cannot beat this location. Only downsides are the rooms are noisey and not very dark but they do provide ear plugs. And they do not have air conditioning and we happened to be there on an 85 degree day. Yet we still enjoyed are stay immensely. Many great restaurants just outside the door.

For the price it was not a good deal...we got a beautiful cabin in Orcas Island for pretty much same price. Shared bathrooms, tiny room with nothing but a bed, no AC so it was hot but hard to keep windows open as it was street level and noisy

The Ballard was an awesome choice. right in the heart of Ballard. The staff was wonderful and even helped with airport transportation. the inn is lovely. The added bonus of free access to the health club next door was a big plus.
