The staff was very helpful and friendly- we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The history of the the location was very interesting as well. We were able to walk to the Ballard Locks and the Botanical Garden from the inn.

Small room, but a good deal for the Ballard area
We arrived super early and the folks at the Hotel Ballard (the sister property) were super welcoming. Our primary reason for not giving a 5-star rating is that the room was very, very small. It was too small for two people to stay in very long. But if you want a nice, clean place to stay in a great part of Seattle at a very good price, the Ballard Inn is a good choice.

Quaint and comfortable
We chose the Ballard Inn as it was close to the cruise ship port. The area around the Ballard Inn is very quaint and easy to get around. Easy access to restaurants and shopping. The Ballard in is more of a B and B style. Shared bathrooms and smaller rooms but no restaurant as there are many within walking distance.

A simple, no frills place with the added bonus of providing free access to the Olympic Athletic Club, right across the street. It’s quite reasonably priced for the Seattle area. One caveat, I think the place may have a rodent problem as I noticed what I think was mouse poop in the shared washroom -by the sink and by the hallway light switch fixture. It’s an old building so I’m sure a few mice may be inevitable, but a bit off putting nonetheless.
