Disappointing stay. Lack of hot water, light bulbs burned out, charge for parking (not mentioned at check in), dirt along the baseboards Phoned to ask about extra charges- 25 minutes on hold. Unfriendly response when I mentioned this wait time. This hotel charges high end rates (almost $400 a night) - I would encourage it to try harder. I would mention this is my actual first bad review to any hotel. So to illicit this response - I would say it wasn’t a good one.

Seems like this room needs some service fixing some things. The handle in the fridge broke, the showerhead hose is pinched and the showerhead won’t stay up.

The hotel has a rigid cancellation policy, and their internal policy is not aligned with what is provided via Expedia. The hotel’s policy is 72 hour cancellation notice by 4pm, where Expedia says by 6pm. I inquired with the hotel on this discrepancy and provided documentation but NO ONE got back to me. The staff i did speak to on the phone were very rude and patronizing, did not offer to help or investigate policy discrepancy.

Love the rooms , decor and location. 2nd time we have reserved a rooftop room. On both occassions we were not told there was a wedding happening and so we were not able to enjoy the rooftop views. For the price of the rooms, I feel we have been made aware of this. Front desk staff seemed lazy- no TP in main floor bathroom . But hotel is in an excellent location hotel is unique and beautiful.

Over-priced, poor management, never again

There were many problems at this hotel, and it is over-priced compared with hotels closer to downtown. Ballard is a fun area, but I would not stay at this hotel. No coffee shop or restaurant at the property. If you are up early, no luck. You have to wait until breakfast places in the neighborhood open around 7:30. "The room with patio" is facing an event space on the patio -- people can look into your windows and the glass door. I had to keep the curtains closed while it's light outside because strangers were walking by outside. I had reservation issues with the hotel. They charged me directly to my credit card without my authorization. I asked for refund. I gave my email so that "they will get back to me." They never did in spite of repeated request from me. I had to go through the dispute process with the credit card company.
