5 Star Service
The service at The Ballard Inn was second to none. Mayra and Susie were so pleasant and far exceeded our expectations!! They offered the best customer service I have experienced. It was like staying with family. The room was amazing and we loved the fireplace and the happy hour with wine and charcuterie. The entire stay was amazing and we will definitely go back to The Ballard. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience!!!
