The Ballard is a great restored hotel in the middle of Ballard shopping and dining. The room was very clean and comfortable. We were in a room with access on the roof. There is an event area just outside and can be noisy if an event is going on. Otherwise very quiet and comfortable. My only complaint would be parking. The parking garage is very small and a tight space. If you meet someone on the way in or out, you will probably have to back up to make room. There is street parking but can be hard to find something in the evenings when busy.

It says they have pools, but they don’t. The gym next doors has an ancient pool that has 4 tiny swimming lanes. As a hotel guest you can ”book” a lane in the pool. We stayed there for 3 days, and the only available time was 6am for 3min. The kids was very unhappy. They neither have breakfast. The staff said they often get complains about that they lie about having a pool. I was promised a refund by the person at the desk but it never came through. There are much better hotels around, I would never recommend anyone to stay at this hotel.

Style staff was very nice, the rooms were clean with the softest towels you’ve ever used. Bed is very comfortable, pillows not so much. Great location for walking around Ballard and tasting the yummy food, just don’t expect much to be open on Monday’s. The parking garage ceiling is very very low, be aware! The suv we had barely fit.
