Top Ballard Hotel Reviews

Coast Seattle Downtown Hotel by APA

8/10 Good

"A bit pricey.. But a lovely hotel in a great city.."

Mediterranean Inn

8/10 Good

"We had a long day , up at 4 am , drive an hour to the airport. Flight was at 7:30 , 4 hours and 50 minute flight to Seattle. Landed at 9:45 pt, took a taxi to the hotel, another 40 minute drive. We are in our 70’s and would have liked to get an early check in before 4pm, but all we got was a 2pm check in. It could have been better, I requested an early check in when I booked a room several months ago. I was disappointed ."

Hotel Max

8/10 Good

"We stayed one night before an Alaskan cruise. The two best things about this hotel are its central location and the people who work there. The reason I am giving four and not five stars is that this hotel redefines "a small room". Ours felt more like a mousetrap. I wouldn't be able to stay in that room for more than one night. However, the staff were all amazing, helpful and friendly"

Hotel Sorrento

8/10 Good

"The Sorrento is a 100 year old well maintained classic hotel. Staff are superb! We enjoyed a double Queen corner suite and it was quite large. Bathroom was updated. There was a portable air conditioner in the bedroom that cooled the room more than adequately albeit it was a bit loud. There is street traffic which wasn't too bad short of the occasional fire/rescue trucks. If you want a modern, "fresh" hotel this isn't it but it has a lot of charm and their courtyard outdoor patio had live music when we arrived. It was very convenient to family we were visiting downtown."
