Great place to enjoy a family weekend

Really nice hotel with very friendly staff. The room was great and being right at the marina and having the beach and restaurants on site make this property perfect for a family weekend trip.

We had a great stay at Ballards! The view of the harbor was just stunning. We were there right before Memorial Day, so the area was still quiet. I am not sure how much that changes during the summer time; probably a lot.

10/10 Exceptional

The staff went out of their way to welcome us and be accommodating holding our luggage last dayThe rooms were nicely furnished and clean. They put together a cot for my son who decided to come with us at the last minute. Close to everything and having beach right there was wonderful. They also gave us a late checkout!

10/10 Exceptional

Very clean. I loved having a live band playing outdoors on the beach! Cute tiki bars add to the atmosphere. Attentive staff brought our chairs, tables and umbrellas over to a spot that we wanted to sit. It’s also fun having wait staff take your orders while you are sitting in your chairs. The rooms are adorable!
Kim, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Ballards is a great location with music.That's all I can say. Overpriced for food. I watched the bartender make me a double mimosa and she poured more than 3/4 cup of OJ and a shot of champagne for 23.00 !!!And I was at the bar so she saw I was a grown adult. That's what they do with all their drinks.
carol, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Ok. Staff don't speak English. Front desk staff, restaurant, bars, and beach staff confused and uniformed after working there for 2 months.
james, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

While our room was clean. The bathroom has definitely seen better days, we were missing a shower door, the “shower caddy” was old and gross. The shower head awful! As for the restaurant, food is so overpriced for bad quality frozen food. $34 for chicken tenders and a handful of French fries. Not to mention ALL the single use plastic they use for everything. They never answer the phone, and there is hardly anyone at reception. Bar and kitchen closed by 9 pm When we return, it won’t be at Ballards not for $600 per night That’s for sure!

6/10 Good

Although this location was close to the ferry and convenient, it was overall not that great. They include a gratuity on everything so staff are underwhelming. Guess when you know you’re getting a tip it changes your level of service. The room was large and clean but there wasn’t a mini refrigerator or an ice machine on the floor. Be mindful of the extra charges at the end. It added almost $100 more to the price of the room. This stay was not worth the price in my opinion.

4/10 Fair

I was very disappointed that our TV didn’t work, and when we asked a staff member to help us, they said they couldn’t do anything about it.
