Parking options include nearby surface parking lots for oversized vehicles. One complimentary round trip ground transportation between the Ballard Inn and the alternate property for each day the guest is displaced.
Hotel Services
The Ballard Inn provides concierge services and wireless internet access. Guests receive complimentary parking and access to the Olympic Athletic Club lap lanes. Additional amenities include discounted use of a nearby fitness facility. This building, originally the American-Scandinavian Bank, is a historical landmark. It underwent its final transformation in 2011 to become the Ballard Inn. The second type of information is individually identifiable information.
“I see a carefully renovated building that retains its early 20th-century charm, now positioned steps from Ballard's lively dining and nightlife. The shared bathrooms, though perhaps unexpected, seem to be meticulously maintained. For travelers seeking an authentic, walkable Seattle experience-especially couples-this could be an interesting alternative to more standardized options.”
