Location was PERFECT for the purpose of visit but had no idea how close it was to so much I wanted to do. Restaurants in the area are amazing! Farmers Market right outside the door. I wish I had the opportunity to stay in a room with a private bath. Will definitely stay here again with a private bath.

I did not like at all having to use bathroom down the hall. Old and cheesy rooms. Never again.

Dear Guest, Thank you for choosing the Ballard Inn and for providing us with your honest feedback. I apologize that you were disappointed in the aesthetics of our guest rooms. As you may know, the Ballard Inn is a historic property, and as such, our rooms and decor are a reflection of the history of the building. We will work to make sure the photos and description of our property on our online booking sites are an accurate reflection of the atmosphere at the Ballard Inn. Additionally, I apologize that you were dissatisfied with our shared bathroom concept. While the restrooms are not attached to individual guest rooms, they are single occupancy to provide all guest's with sufficient privacy and monitored 24 hours a day to ensure they are clean and available for use. We do offer rooms with private bathrooms and would recommend reserving our Deluxe King Room, Private Bathroom for your next stay. Again, thank you for your feedback. I sincerely hope we are able to welcome you back in the future. Best, Erik Lundquist

Exotic. I reminds me of European stile hotels.

Pros: Architecture.
Cons: Second night noise on one side-by bar, announcements with windows down made it fairly audible.
Location: Location perfect-Any plenty of bars, shops and restaurants nearby for whatever you interest.
It reminds me of European stile hotels. Rooms are smaller and chains hotels but feel so because of layout. Beds are very nice, dressers in rooms and the whole atmosphere is something unique. I will stay there again if the occasion arises.
