The room was fine, bed comfortable. It was extremely difficult to find a temporary parking place to check in, so as to be able to access the parking garage.

Keycards stopped working multiple times forcing me to go down the street to the other hotel a block down to get it reprogrammed. No bag service to the second floor no elevators. Shared bathrooms are small. I got stuck with now working keycard at 3 am after leaving the room to go to the bathroom.

Check in at the Hotel Ballard down the block. Shared bathroom down the hall. Tiny room on street level, felt like I was sleeping on the street. The provided ear plugs were telling! Mattress is wall to wall so not recommended for tall folks. Coffee/tea available in lounge which was nice. This was okay for a last minute overnight. Definitely the poor cousin of the associated Hotel Ballard.

I was put in a room that was in no way comparable to the photos online. The TV did not work in the room, there was no bathroom in the room but a shared community bathroom in the hall. The building was old and haphazardly painted and decorated. The room we stayed in was incredibly hot (No HVAC) and incredibly loud. This room and experience was not what I booked and I paid way too much given the quality of the accomodation.

Ballard at its best!

No Air conditioning but lots of fans and we were glad to book a room with ensuite bathroom. Our corner room was wonderful! And withthe Farmer's Market right putside, what a great and lively street to enjoy!
