Ballard Inn

I was put in a room that was in no way comparable to the photos online. The TV did not work in the room, there was no bathroom in the room but a shared community bathroom in the hall. The building was old and haphazardly painted and decorated. The room we stayed in was incredibly hot (No HVAC) and incredibly loud. This room and experience was not what I booked and I paid way too much given the quality of the accomodation.

Quaint inn. Convenient location. Lots of places to eat nearby.

No Air conditioning but lots of fans and we were glad to book a room with ensuite bathroom. Our corner room was wonderful! And withthe Farmer's Market right putside, what a great and lively street to enjoy!

Our room was beautiful, clean, and comfortable. The only things that could be improved are having to go across the street to get ice and no phone in the room.

Don’t think this is a hotel! It’s a hostel with shared bathrooms and definitely not worth the money! The noise was horrible on the first floor- from the street and inside the hallway. We couldn’t sleep from before midnight and past 5am because of the noise! Also no where does it mention that pool and sauna are all in the other MAIN hotel that is across the road and no one wants to wear a robe and run in a middle of Ballard across streets to go to spa that is advertised here! Don’t book it! It’s a total garbage!

My daughter lives in Ballard and said we should get a room at the Ballard Inn. She was thinking of the Ballard hotel, the newer part of this establishment. Ballard inn is “historic” and creaky, smells musty. Our room had a portable floor air conditioner that couldn’t be noisier. The television didn’t work properly, there was no way to get in touch with the desk except call from our mobile (different building) and that was a 1 out of 5 chance they would answer the phone. We had a shared bathroom with the entire hall (I thought we had adjoining rooms and shared a bathroom with our family). For $400+ a night this was a loss. One nice feature, the gym next door was nice and we had full access. The noise outside was like Bourbon street but they did supply ear plugs. We had to drag our bags up the stairs and there is no valet. I travel a lot for work. This reminded of an economy inn or a boarding house. The hotel looks pretty nice- so if you book this place, I would say make sure you are in the hotel not the inn.

This is an old hotel that has no staffing - you must go to another hotel nearby to checkin. This hotel was stuffy and smelly, the room was very, very basic, with standing AC unit with pipe out the window, remote control for TV didn't work. Paying $300+ for this room felt outlandish. The staff (who come from the other hotel) were lovely, the other hotel is lovely. But please know that the pictures of the gym are not in this facility, which is rather run down.

the room was in a building not staffed close to the sidewalk. So small the bed took up all space in room no closet and the television required a computer specialist to make it work. The best thing about the room was a very comfortable bed

This place needs to close. It is absurd that they bait and switch people with website pictures. My family showed up for four evenings and would not stay. Of course to late to cancel.

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).

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

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.

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.

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.

So cute and quaint. Very small, but cozy and comfy room. We weren't expecting to have a shared bathroom experience (facilities are in the hall and shared by several rooms)…but it was never an issue and fun for our son to experience.

Nice area. Staff kind of meh.

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 !

Half way decent, but the mini fridge was completely molded over. We had to throw away leftovers and remove fridge from the room.

We loved that is was within walking distance from the venue for the concert we attended.

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.
