Ballard Locks Fish Ladder Tours

At first glance the property is sketchy. Had a security outside all day and night. A lot of unhoused people all down the street. Parking is inconvenient especially with all the unhoused people. I would not recommend for a solo female traveler. I will say staff is amazing and so friendly and rooms were clean and bed was comfy, but the traffic noise kept waking me up. Maybe ask for an interior room or one that doesn’t face the street. It was not good for light sleepers. The hotel is very close to a lot of attractions and we didn’t have to drive anywhere. I will say the unhoused people didn’t mess with anyone and they stayed to themselves so don’t let that deter you from staying. There were a lot of different groups of people out late at night so I felt somewhat safe. And the super amazing staff makes up for any shortcomings.

Awesome place to stay close to pikes place market!
