Weened wedding ”

My husband and I stayed at The Ballast for a wedding and the location was perfect. We loved being able to walk to the ceremony and the surrounding restaurants, shops, bars, and farmers market. The hotel could definitely use a facelift as the corners of hallway walls are cracked and drywall falling apart, the caulking on our bathroom was peeling off and the towel hangers were falling off the walls. The bathroom door wouldn’t close unless we slammed it and the dresser was crooked and a drawer wouldn’t stay shut. We were also surprised that there was not a mini fridge in the room…. On a positive note, the room was large and comfortable, the staff was incredibly friendly, and we had dinner at the hotel restaurant and it was absolutely delicious! I would stay here again but I would bring a cooler bag and more hangers for the closet!

Great experience ”

I enjoyed my stay here. I am I regular visitor in the area and decided to book here to be closer to the downtown area. Pros: Location convenience, beautiful view of the River, access to restaurants and nightlife Cons: no mini fridge (common in many business hotels, but a convenient thing to have) parking prices. ( about $17 per day/ $25 per day for valet) Note: the valet is available from 8am - 11pm Overall I enjoyed my stay and loved the peaceful view

Nice atmosphere in old hotel ”

The pictures make you believe your staying at a resort. But you get what you pay for. Incredible staff everyone was very sweet. Still a good hotel for the price.
