A Boutique Hotel with Great Location & Character! 🏨🌆
My husband and I spent just one night at the Ballard Hotel — and we truly wish we could have stayed longer! Having visited Seattle a few times, this was our first time staying in Ballard, and it offered the perfect introduction to this vibrant, historic neighborhood. 🧳 Smooth & Flexible Check-In I’d requested early check-in ahead of time, and the hotel kindly accommodated us. We arrived late morning, and a kind, helpful gentleman at the front desk checked us in and provided a parking pass so we could leave our car and start exploring right away. 🚗💨 🏡 Top-Floor Courtyard Suite – Spacious & Stylish We stayed in the Courtyard Suite on the top floor, and it was worth every penny: Spacious, clean, and beautifully designed with comfort in mind 🛋️✨ Cozy living area with a comfortable sofa, chairs, fireplace, and TV 🛋️🔥 Bedroom with a king-sized bed, nightstands, another TV, wardrobe, and closet 🛏️📺 Large bathroom with a deep soaking tub, walk-in shower, double vanity, and separate toilet 🛁🧖♀️ Soft towels, robes, and premium bath products added a luxurious touch 🧴💫 🚶♀️ Walkable & Wonderful Neighborhood We loved being able to walk everywhere: Early dinner at The Walrus and the Carpenter (highly recommend!) 🦪🍽️ Delicious gelato from a nearby shop for dessert 🍦😋 We left our car parked and took an Uber to the stunning Chihuly Garden and Glass Museum near the Space Needle — so convenient! 🚕🎨 🍳 Breakfast at Salmon Bay Cafe The front desk recommended Salmon Bay Cafe just steps away — a cool retro spot with friendly service, delicious food, and generous portions. A perfect start to the day! ☕🥞 💤 Quiet & Restful Night The hotel was peaceful and quiet at night — we slept soundly and woke up refreshed. 😴💤 ✅ Final Thoughts We had a wonderful, relaxing, and memorable stay — and we’ll definitely be back. If you’re looking for a boutique hotel with personality, prime location, and genuine comfort, the Ballard Hotel is a fantastic choice. #BallardHotel #BoutiqueStay #SeattleTravel #WalkableNeighborhood #CourtyardSuite
