Staff was great! Location was awesome and felt very safe! Room was clean. Room was also facing busy streets so it was noisy late into the night. Earplugs were provided. The first night the room was too warm, so they provided a fan the second night which was a win to cool things down as well as drown out the noise. The bed was really hard…

Keycards stopped working multiple times forcing me to go down the street to the other hotel a block down to get it reprogrammed. No bag service to the second floor no elevators. Shared bathrooms are small. I got stuck with now working keycard at 3 am after leaving the room to go to the bathroom.

Check in at the Hotel Ballard down the block. Shared bathroom down the hall. Tiny room on street level, felt like I was sleeping on the street. The provided ear plugs were telling! Mattress is wall to wall so not recommended for tall folks. Coffee/tea available in lounge which was nice. This was okay for a last minute overnight. Definitely the poor cousin of the associated Hotel Ballard.
