Never been to an Inn - didn’t know what to expect
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.

A good stop-over
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.

Poor experience
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.

Good location but small rooms and a bit noisy
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.

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.

Two day stay
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!
