Tides Inn & Suites
Nice room, comfortable bed, and (luckily) peaceful Puget Sound right outside the patio door. Rooms seem to have been updated since a previous visit several years ago. Easily walkable to restaurants and shopping.

Valley View Motel
Unfortunately there was a county wide power outage due to weather. Owners were very accommodating provided extra blankets as it was 35 degrees.

The Belmont Hotel
Beautiful historical hotel, the rooms were comfortable, the bed too and we liked the vintage style fridge. Because this is a historical building the walls are very thin and you can hear everything! I'd give it a higher rating but the thin walls were an annoyance. Also, no AC in the unit.

Ballard's sweet suites
The place was spotless clean. I did not cook but there is everything one could choose to cook. Host responds the messages quickly. He is very helpful. Check in was super easy. I would definitely stay again.
