My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were elegant and spacious, although being street-facing meant there was some noise from passersby. The service from the staff was exceptional, with helpful recommendations provided. The location was convenient for nightlife and transportation options. Unfortunately, dining at the inn was not available, which was a drawback.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel; the rooms were basic but spacious enough, away from the road. The service was helpful and pleasant, although they were away from the desk occasionally. The location was outstanding in the heart of Ballard, with good options for dining and a vibrant nightlife. However, dining was inconvenient, and the inn did not offer dining services. The price was reasonable for the value provided.

My stay at the inn was a mixed experience. The rooms were cozy and comfortable, but I didn't feel very secure with the windows open for cooling. However, they did provide a small fan to help circulate the air, and I appreciated the extra amenities for travelers. The location was excellent for accessing the Ballard Farmers Market right outside the inn, although it was noisy at times, especially on weekends. Unfortunately, the dining options were not available on-site, which was inconvenient. Overall, a decent stay with some drawbacks to consider.

I felt like I was really paying for the prime location of this hotel, surrounded by great restaurants and bars. The room was clean, with nice amenities and a super cozy bed, but lacked a closet. Unfortunately, the noise from early morning activities outside was quite disruptive.

I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The room was beautiful and very comfortable, although a bit smaller than expected. The staff was friendly and helpful, providing great recommendations for dining and shopping. The location in the hip area of Seattle was amazing, with tons of coffee shops, restaurants, and shops within easy walking distance. Unfortunately, the dining options were inconvenient as there was no dining available at the inn.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were older and close together, making it a bit noisy with street noise, but the location was excellent. The service was attentive, helping with room adjustments and providing great suggestions. The location was both a blessing and a curse, offering fantastic walkability but snug bed sizes. The dining options in the morning were inconvenient, although the focaccia bread was a highlight.
