Summary: Check in at the Hotel Ballard down the block. Shared bathroom down the hall. Tiny room on street level, felt like I was sleeping on the street. The provided ear plugs were telling! Mattress is wall to wall so not recommended for tall folks. Coffee/tea available in lounge which was nice. This was okay for a last minute overnight. Definitely the poor cousin of the associated Hotel Ballard.

Summary: Our room and stay received an excellent rating because we reserved a room with a bathroom. We could not imagine having a shared bath and toilet.

Summary: 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!

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.
