8/10 Very good

Room was nice, clean and we had a nice stay. Only negatives were the 2nd floor smelled like weed both days and the shower water fluctuated from hot to warm when taking showers. Staff was nice and helpful. Would try this hotel again, great location in downtown Ballard - nice shops/restaurants in walking distance.

Very pleased with our stay at the Hotel Ballard. Rooms were clean and comfortable and a juliet balcony a plus on a sunny fall day. Bonus to be able to overlook the farmers market and stroll up the street. Convenient parking and easy to get to main roads when needed. Would definitely stay again!
