Wonderful property. We stayed in a King room; the bed was comfortable and the room was quiet and clean. Parking was a bit of a pain to find, especially with nearby road construction. I think some clearer signage on where the parking lot can be provided but that is about my only criticism.

Very quaint cool place. Hotel was perfect, if you have never been to Ballard you should do your research. Cool but a bit of a sleepy town at night. Probably better in summer months. Immediate surroundings seem sketchy but then again it’s a water town.

One ice machine in the building, it was broken.
Advertised spa services were not included, but rather there was a spa and gym in the building theough a locked door you could pay per service. It was crowded due to all of the members of the public having access too.
Hot tub was fine, but no swimming pool access (lane swim only by reservation with the spa).
Room had no microwave to reheat food.
No breakfast, the hotel openly tells you you can go to a restaurant as if that were a benefit.
Minor stains in the carpet.
Balcony was barely large enough to stand on, no seating. View was of the building across the street.
Ended up spending my last vacation night at a Motel 8 and had better amenities for half the price.

Excellent bed, excellent location. #40 bus is straight shot to Space Needle and Downtown. Lots of bars znd restaurants nearby. Hotel allows use of Olympic Atletic Center next door.

This was a beautiful hotel. Gorgeous. Bathroom was amazing. Bed was comfortable. Amazing restaurants all around the area. Every single staff member I spoke to was fantastic.
Also there were bodily fluid stains all over the couch as well as someone’s black thong in a drawer. And some of the stains were on pillows with zippers. I got a 10% discount, which… fine, but I spent much more than 10% of my trip sanitizing the room and covering up the couch. I didn’t feel like switching to another room would have been actually cleaner, just that the stains might have been hidden.
For the price, that’s absurd.
But everything else was so great, that I might consider staying there again. Which is really really saying something.

Nice place right in walkable downtown Ballard.
The VIP status did not actually provide any free parking for Expedia guests.

The hotel and room was excellent, however, we had an issue with a clogged toilet and the hotel doesn’t have a house keeping or maintenance person after specific time. we called the front desk to request a person to unclogged the toilet and no one was available except the front desk person. I asked him to give me the plunger so I can unclog it myself, which he was not able to find one. I had to get up around 3 am to the lobby from the 4 th floor just to urinate at the lobby restroom. The front desk person finally left the plunger at our room at 7am and I finally unclogged the toilet my self.

Complete BS to offer a pool and services that you need reservations for. I feel I did not get a good experience here. I want my money back!!

I am hesitant to provide a glowing review due to the fact that I’d like to have an available room next visit. To be fair, it truly is four stars. Staff, location to restaurants, points of interest and recreation, cleanliness, amenities. We sincerely had a wonderful visit and staff allowed us to hang around an hour later due to flight timing. I recommend Hotel Ballard.

Great for the most part. We had a suite on the roof, which was actually super quiet inside vs the noise of Seattle outside. Made for some fun people watching since a bunch of bars line the street down below. Very clean and a beautiful room. The bed was a bit stiff for my preferences but definitely not the worst. The most bothersome thing was a gap under the door to the room that let in a ton of cold air. You can somewhat remedy it by closing the seperation door between the small entry/livingroom area and the bedroom half. But that still didnt completely solve the issue cuz the heater would blow in the bedroom and then it got overly warm. If they could fix that, it'd really help overall comfort. But all in all it was a great place to stay and not a long commute to pretty much everything youd want to get to in Seattle. Im sure we will be back!
