“In my opinion, its location in the vibrant Ballard neighborhood makes it a good choice, especially for those keen to explore local culture. I noted the hotel's historic roots and recent renovations also give it a unique appeal. However, I think that the shared bathroom concept might not suit every traveler, and some may find the soundproofing insufficient.”
