Hotel Ballard 
Gayot
Condé Nast Traveler
Fodor's
Gayot "Each of the eleven suites sees those perks and raises them a pull-out sofa, king bed, subway tile, elegant sliding barn doors, balcony, fireplace and marble bathroom with large walk-in shower and free-standing soaking tub"
Condé Nast Traveler "Across the street is King's Hardware, a chill burger-and-beer bar, and Tractor Tavern, where hipsters arrive in well-worn boots for Monday night square dancing; a block away is chic French eatery Bastille, and a few blocks more brings you to superstar chef-led restaurants The Walrus and the Carpenter (Renee Erickson) and Staple & Fancy (Ethan Stowell)"
Fodor's "Behind a rustic sliding barn door, smooth marble, bright white subway tile, and a large walk-in shower all make for a luxurious bathroom experience"
