GoodStayed with family · For friends and family
Having to drag luggage down the street to check in, then drag them all the way back was a security issue. Rooms were forever small. Portable AC unit in room didn't work properly.

FantasticSolo stay
Very cool place, but you will need to bring your own toothbrush and the like. They do offer toiletries but they ding you for them.
Otherwise fantastic! Spent a weekend there for a solo getaway and would definitely return. There’s a farmers market right outside on Sunday mornings which is an added bonus!

Below averageStayed with family
Not great, room is small, best suited for a solo travelers. Not accessible outlets, no place to get ready. Fan and refrigerator take up so much room in an already small room.

Below average The room was extremely small, and the bathrooms were not located within the room itself — something that was never made clear upfront. I requested a room in the main hotel building, not an separate annex. The photos displayed online are highly misleading and do not accurately represent what guests actually receive for the price paid.

GreatSolo stay
The parking can be difficult to navigate if you are not familiar with the area. I was not aware that I had to register at one location and stay in another, so that was a bit overwhelming. Also, not having a bathroom in the room was a bit frustrating. However, the property itself was great, and the staff was extremely helpful!

GoodSolo stay
Room was adequate. Unknown extra $25 charge on my credit card.
When you walk in, a very STRONG cloyingly sweet air freshener smell (not too bad in the room). I realized during my stay it's because it's trying to hide a very, very funky underlying smell.
Also, my room was across from the shared bathrooms, big mistake. Why do people slam doors at 1:00 am?
Good enough due to proximity to the event venue. Expect to be woken up early and late by the noise.

FantasticStayed with partner
The room was beautiful and clean! Adorable little building. We got a room with a bathroom and it a view of the main street. The only thing I can think of is that there should be better direction on where to check in and park. You have to check in at the Ballard hotel to get the key to the Ballard Inn. It was easy once we figured that part out. It was a great stay. Bed was comfy as well. Will definitely stay again!
