This place is fantastic. While it’s the only real hotel in the area, it’s a class above most. Wish it was cheaper, but with it and will always try to stay here when in Seattle.

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.

Spacious, eloquent rooms in a great neighborhood full of walkable shops and restaurants. A vast gym onsite is available to guests. The brewery district is nearby, as well as the Nordic Museum, and be sure to take a walk to the docks. CJA

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.

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.
