Very pleased with our stay at the Hotel Ballard. Rooms were clean and comfortable and a juliet balcony a plus on a sunny fall day. Bonus to be able to overlook the farmers market and stroll up the street. Convenient parking and easy to get to main roads when needed. Would definitely stay again!

Disappointing stay. Lack of hot water, light bulbs burned out, charge for parking (not mentioned at check in), dirt along the baseboards Phoned to ask about extra charges- 25 minutes on hold. Unfriendly response when I mentioned this wait time. This hotel charges high end rates (almost $400 a night) - I would encourage it to try harder. I would mention this is my actual first bad review to any hotel. So to illicit this response - I would say it wasn’t a good one.

The hotel has a rigid cancellation policy, and their internal policy is not aligned with what is provided via Expedia. The hotel’s policy is 72 hour cancellation notice by 4pm, where Expedia says by 6pm. I inquired with the hotel on this discrepancy and provided documentation but NO ONE got back to me. The staff i did speak to on the phone were very rude and patronizing, did not offer to help or investigate policy discrepancy.
