This hotel is beautiful, the area around the hotel is lively and has many bars and in restaurants. The bed could’ve been a bit more comfortable and they only have room service for like four hours a day so I thought that was kind of different.

The room was clean and had nice decor. There was a small view of the water. The hotel is in the middle of downtown Ballard and within walking distance to everything. Road construction makes parking confusing. This is beyond the control of the hotel though.

Staff was excellent. The shower was divine. The area was quiet & safe & walkable. We were in Seattle for a doctor visit at Swedish. It was great to be able to park the car in the HB garage & walk to the appointment.

Cool but odd town
Very quaint cool place. Hotel was perfect, if you have never been to Ballard you should do your research. Cool but a bit of a sleepy town at night. Probably better in summer months. Immediate surroundings seem sketchy but then again it’s a water town.
