Ballard has many options for dining and is near the locks which are a must see. Ballard Inn is perfectly situated in the middle of everything.

Guy helping us when we checked in at the ballard was very kind and helpful

As long as you are ok with the shared bath situation, this little sister of Hotel Ballard is a great deal. Ideally located, very comfortable beds, and way quieter than we expected given the busy and vibrant neighborhood. Staff was great as well.

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.

Wonderful spot in the heart of Ballard! Outdoor noise is less than I expected during the week, however noise from other occupants coming and going is disruptive at times.

10/10

Adorable property close to shops, restaurants, and bars.
1-night trip

6/10

We anticipated a shared bathroom situation given the historic hotel. What we didn’t anticipate was the front desk is essentially at the Ballard Hotel, parking is tough in this neighborhood, and the swimming pool is located at the athletic club across the street which requires a lane reservation plus closed early (much to the dismay of my kiddo).

Once arrived no one there to greet me at Ballard Inn. Hotel Ballard assisted me and I was able to book with them and my stay was great. Thanks !

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.

Hotel a little dated but cute and clean. Comfortable bed. The athletic club pass was a huge bonus!

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.

Check-in was down the street at a different hotel. The room was quite expensive for what we got; the room was quite small and the communal bathroom was a bit inconvenient. It's a good central location if you're spending time in Ballard.

We loved the hotel and the location. It is a noisy street but with the windows closed and our little fan that was provided, it didn’t bother us
