Rooms are very old style quaint with Chandeliers in room. Very romantic. Staff was so friendly and included breakfast was gourmet. The little town is quiet and peaceful. Wine tasting is convenient both north Los Ovilios and south in Solvang.

Everyone was exceptionally friendly and welcoming: Mayra and Alexa at the front desk, Chloe in the restaurant, and Veronica and Alejandra who were so very kind to us. Thank you all. We cannot wait to return.

The Ballard Inn is located in a peaceful semi-rural neighborhood about 2 miles south of Los Olivos. Both rooms and common areas are beautifully appointed. Stay includes a gourmet breakfast and Happy Hour. It’s a very pleasant place.

Beautiful place. Had brunch here twice in one weekend. Tried everything on the menu. Smoked salmon was the best. Talked to the owner for a while...really cool guy. Don't hesitate.

WHAT A BEYOND PRECIOUS PLACE ! I love that there was no TV in the room, it set the vibe for intimacy and encouraged us to go sit on the rocking chairs under the stars. The evening was so quiet, you could hear the wind in the trees and the fire crackling in the fireplace. I love it here ! I love love love the curated experience, poetic and grounding.

Our stay at The Ballard Inn was amazing. The service was second to none from the moment we arrived until the time we left. Mayra and Susie were so helpful and pleasant. We felt like family and it’s the best service we have had in all of our many travels. Thank you so much for giving us an amazing stay.

We loved our stay at The Ballard Inn. It’s the most charming inn we have stayed in. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. There are lovely common rooms to sit and chat with other guests. The complementary breakfast was delicious. The location was perfect. Close to downtown Los Olivos and Solvang but in the quiet town of Ballard. Overall a 10+ experience!

Loved my stay at the Ballard Inn! My room was really great but the staff was really the best. When I couldn’t get a Lyft/Uber to Solvang, Rick drove me there himself. It was incredibly nice and very much appreciated.

This was our first time at the Ballard Inn and the hotel is definitely beautiful. We enjoyed the decor and interiors of the living rooms and the provided games. Other things to note: the 24/7 tea/coffee in lobby, the sit-down included breakfast, and the included wine tasting vouchers (can use 1 per day). The rooms are cute with high-end bedding. The additional amenities in the rooms could be improved based on the cost per night being charged.

It's valid to note that the rooms are not well insulated from sound. We seemed to be very unlucky because we had neighbors playing rap music late into the night and early in the morning and the bass radiated into our room. I spoke to the attendant in the lobby about this, but never heard anything else after. I would have loved to be compensated or something for this since it disrupted our stay.

Overall a good stay. Some improvements to be made based on the 4-star criteria and price being charged per night, but worth checking out if you're in the area.

Such a quaint and adorable property! It was warm and cozy and perfectly decorated. Loved the freshly baked cookies left at your door at night and hot coffee and breakfast in the morning. Will definitely be visiting again.

Lovely serene hotel with comfortable older world type ambience. Nice rooms. Small bathrooms. They do provide wine and cheese for one hour in the late afternoon, hot limited breakfast. No chef at this time for evening dining as in the past. No pool/spa. B & B
atmosphere close to delicious restaurants, shopping, Chumash Casino for gambling or concert venue. Definitely will return

This was our 4th stay at the Ballard Inn, fabulous area and the new owners have made excellent upgrades to the hotel common areas and patios, excellent seating areas to enjoy. We received warm & welcoming handwritten cards on our bed for our Anniversary and my birthday, what a nice touch!! And of course the cookies every evening placed in our room always appreciated. We enjoyed our dinner at restaurant, Kip and the entire staff made our evening perfect!! I believe some of the rooms are likely in the midst of being upgraded, ours was a bit worn out, understandable given the changes that are in progress (the landscape crew was very quiet, making sure to not make noise, greatly appreciated) Overall our stay was very relaxing and enjoyable!

We had a fabulous stay at the inn. The breakfast with 3 options that changed each morning plus a starter of fresh fruit or a pastry was absolutely delicious (especially loved the eggs Benedict and the granola options). The cookies at night was a special touch. The whole inn is beautiful and the service was top notch. Thanks for a great stay and look forward to hopefully coming back again!! Highly recommend this wonderful place.
