I love the people who work for the Ballard Inn, and the area is perfect to visit Seattle.
The gym accompanying the Ballrd Inn is the best part.

Great location and the access to the gym is awesome. We didn’t realize when booking that the room had a shared shower and bathroom, but that was never a problem and the facilities were clean. Really comfortable bed.

Check-in was down the street at a different hotel. The room was quite expensive for what we got; the room was quite small and the communal bathroom was a bit inconvenient. It's a good central location if you're spending time in Ballard.

Yech!
Half way decent, but the mini fridge was completely molded over. We had to throw away leftovers and remove fridge from the room.

Shared bathroom but a pretty cool older building. Walls are paper thin and no ac. It’s a bar area so expect to hear people tell about 4 am.

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.

A good stop-over
If you're just staying the night, it's not bad. However, you can hear everything - to the point that they provide you with earplugs. The TV cut in and out of signal. Check-in was a bit confusing as you check-in at the hotel, not the inn.
The room and bathrooms/shower room themselves were clean.

Two day stay
It is a very quaint European style room. We didn’t spend much time in the room. It was in a great location in downtown Ballard, Washington.
There is no one at the desk to assist in anything so you have to call them and the other location Ballard hotel, is just down the street.
We would definitely stay again. It was the best location to walk around and see the sites.
