My stay at Vince's was pleasant. The room + bathroom was spotless, the bed and linens were clean and comfortable, the kitchenette was an added bonus, and check-in and check-out was a breeze. The location is also fantastic, you're near everything in Ballard and it's only a 10-12 min car trip to places like the Seattle Center. That said, if you like quiet places to stay, this would probably not be a place for you. At times you can clearly hear what is going on in common areas, people coming and going, walking up and down the stairs, and the conversations of other guests if they talk loudly. Every surface is hard, so noise travels a lot. There are quiet time limits in place though, so the noise dies down somewhat after 10pm.
