Room was nice, clean and we had a nice stay. Only negatives were the 2nd floor smelled like weed both days and the shower water fluctuated from hot to warm when taking showers. Staff was nice and helpful. Would try this hotel again, great location in downtown Ballard - nice shops/restaurants in walking distance.
