Debbie was very welcoming. The room was exactly as described, very clean and well-appointed, if a bit small for our tastes. Extremely convenient location. (The local Enterprise Car Rental place is very helpful.) Many restaurants, and easy places to pick up necessaries. Plus just a few blocks from our family. Debbie's notebook of things to do and see is a wonderful guidebook to Seattle, and the local environs of Ballard. Highly recommended.
