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.
