The Ballard Inn is a historical building located in the heart of Ballard, offering affordable budget accommodation for short stays. Guests share clean and well-maintained bathrooms and while the rooms were small, they were clean and nicely decorated. The inn lacks some amenities such as air conditioning, coffee makers and fridges in the rooms, but the shared shower has dispensers for soap and shampoo. The lack of safety handholds in the shower may be concerning, but the shared facilities are kept clean. Some guests were disappointed with the room size and the lack of closets, while others praised the clean and comfortable room. The main floor rooms felt like apartments rather than a hotel and guests should note that there are no elevators, only very old stairs. Despite some negative feedback, guests have also complimented the beautiful building and clean rooms.
