Having a Blast in Ballard
It is in a fantastic location in the Ballard District. We ate a delicious dinner at the Stoneburner Restaurant attached to the hotel and walked out the front door to a festive Farmer's Market Sunday morning. The room was clean and quiet and the staff was very helpful.

Great Property miserable staff
Service was very average, a property that this could be one of the best in the city if the staff don’t have such a miserable attitude

This is our go-to spot in Seattle and we stay here at least once a year. Super walkable with great shops and restaurants and Sunday morning farmers market all right outside.

Great propert
Wonderful property. We stayed in a King room; the bed was comfortable and the room was quiet and clean. Parking was a bit of a pain to find, especially with nearby road construction. I think some clearer signage on where the parking lot can be provided but that is about my only criticism.

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.

I did not know there was not a place on the property for breakfast, it’s not clear in the description. The restaurant attached does is separate.
Paula, 3-night trip

Angela, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Always super pleasant and convenient. There was a fair amount of street construction in the area to be aware of, but obviously a temporary concern

Great place, nice and romantic. My suburban didn’t fit into the parking garage
Andrey, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great neighborhood gem. Loved the location near shops and restaurants. Parking was easy. Only issue is no nearby breakfast options. Would definitely return.
James, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
