Ballard Inn

WHAT A BEYOND PRECIOUS PLACE ! I love that there was no TV in the room, it set the vibe for intimacy and encouraged us to go sit on the rocking chairs under the stars. The evening was so quiet, you could hear the wind in the trees and the fire crackling in the fireplace. I love it here ! I love love love the curated experience, poetic and grounding.

We loved our stay at The Ballard Inn. It’s the most charming inn we have stayed in. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. There are lovely common rooms to sit and chat with other guests. The complementary breakfast was delicious. The location was perfect. Close to downtown Los Olivos and Solvang but in the quiet town of Ballard. Overall a 10+ experience!

This was our first time at the Ballard Inn and the hotel is definitely beautiful. We enjoyed the decor and interiors of the living rooms and the provided games. Other things to note: the 24/7 tea/coffee in lobby, the sit-down included breakfast, and the included wine tasting vouchers (can use 1 per day). The rooms are cute with high-end bedding. The additional amenities in the rooms could be improved based on the cost per night being charged. It's valid to note that the rooms are not well insulated from sound. We seemed to be very unlucky because we had neighbors playing rap music late into the night and early in the morning and the bass radiated into our room. I spoke to the attendant in the lobby about this, but never heard anything else after. I would have loved to be compensated or something for this since it disrupted our stay. Overall a good stay. Some improvements to be made based on the 4-star criteria and price being charged per night, but worth checking out if you're in the area.
