We really enjoyed our stay at the Hotel Ballard and look forward to staying again sometime soon.
Pros:

the location was excellent and the room exceeded our expectations. It was clean and updated. Our view was amazing and the ongoing street market below was an added bonus!

Cons:

The covered parking did not support our vehicle (overhead clearance too low) so unfortunately we had to park at another location further away and not covered. However, not the fault of the Hotel Ballard, we should have checked on this prior to arrival as we could have chosen a different vehicle to take to this venue.
