So cute and quaint. Very small, but cozy and comfy room. We weren't expecting to have a shared bathroom experience (facilities are in the hall and shared by several rooms)…but it was never an issue and fun for our son to experience.

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.

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

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.
