We had a great stay at Ballards! The view of the harbor was just stunning. We were there right before Memorial Day, so the area was still quiet. I am not sure how much that changes during the summer time; probably a lot.

The staff went out of their way to welcome us and be accommodating holding our luggage last dayThe rooms were nicely furnished and clean. They put together a cot for my son who decided to come with us at the last minute. Close to everything and having beach right there was wonderful. They also gave us a late checkout!
