Really nice hotel with very friendly staff. The room was great and being right at the marina and having the beach and restaurants on site make this property perfect for a family weekend trip.

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!

Very clean. I loved having a live band playing outdoors on the beach! Cute tiki bars add to the atmosphere. Attentive staff brought our chairs, tables and umbrellas over to a spot that we wanted to sit. It’s also fun having wait staff take your orders while you are sitting in your chairs. The rooms are adorable!

Ballards is a great location with music.That's all I can say. Overpriced for food. I watched the bartender make me a double mimosa and she poured more than 3/4 cup of OJ and a shot of champagne for 23.00 !!!And I was at the bar so she saw I was a grown adult. That's what they do with all their drinks.

Ok. Staff don't speak English. Front desk staff, restaurant, bars, and beach staff confused and uniformed after working there for 2 months.
