The location was exceptional! Everything we needed in walking distance. We had no need to use our vehicle the entire weekend. Only downside was the building lost air conditioning and it was rather hot Sunday morning, but they made up for it by comping our breakfast. Enjoyed immensely!!!

The Hotel Ballast is beautiful and the rooms are very nice. The breakfast bar ($18 per person) was awful. The eggs tasted the cardboard and the potatoes were hard and over-cooked. It was very disappointing. The waitstaff and front-desk staff were very nice and accommodating. It is in a very scenic and convenient location.
