John, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The place was comfortable and they accommodated our late checkout request, which was very helpful. One of us had an event nearby that ran late, and we were able to hang out inside and outside in comfortable areas while we waited. The mattresses are lacking a bit - not the worst but not the best. The bathroom was wonderfully spacious and very clean. Thank you, Hotel Ballast!
Alisa, 1-night trip
