The hotel was located pretty close to everything which was nice. When we went in the room it smelt odd and the AC was not working.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at Hotel Ballast very much. It is located within walking distance of many things to do, see, and eat. We found the staff to be friendly and helpful.
Our room was very clean and that was comforting.
The bathroom, while clean, has a few unique characteristics. The sink has very little room between the faucet and sink bottom. The commode is extremely low to the ground. We found it quite odd.
We would stay again requesting a water view room.

The manager (*********) in charge on the 11th of May between 2pm -4pm and the lady (*************) who took over from him should be working at the backend! They have no clue what hospitality is. Whilst the ********* was outrightly racist, the lady showed no empathy whatsoever. You sold a room for 4 pm and had the effrontery to tell your guest that you cannot guarantee room availability. Yes, a refund was made after it became obvious that something was about to happen! Will rather sleep in an open space in downtown than spend a night with them. Thankfully, Embassy hotel which was just down the corner came to the rescue. Same day booking (by 4pm)! on getting to the hotel, they upgraded the room, served drinks and complimentary breakfast buffet! Clean room, nice view from room, staff very friendly. Nice indoor pool .... what else can one ask for when you are on a holiday. Hilton should look at training their Ballast frontend staff and bringing in people with the right personality and training!

Parking was Terrible, room was dirty with nasty mold caulking. Fire alarm went off for almost a hour and staff was in trained on how to handle to situation. I won’t be staying at this location again when in the area.

The stay was great up until Sunday mornings fire alarm issue. The fire alarm went off first at 4:30am, was silenced, and then went off again almost 30 minutes later and stayed on for almost an hour. Never once did staff let any resident know that it was a false alarm or anything that was going on. We all just sat outside in confusion. Staff seemed more annoyed with residents asking what was going on than them trying to settle the crowds nerves. Multiple people even packed up there belongings and checked out since nothing was being done. Great hotel and amenities, but the night staff was not there to be helpful or useful in anyway.

The stay was terrible! False fire alarm went in at 4.20 or so; went downstairs just to find out it was a false alarm. Went up again, got into bed and then the alarm went off again; and it went on for at least 30min. We could not take it anymore and went to a coffee shop that opened at 5.30AM.
The whole romantic weekend was pretty much destroyed, never-mind the lack of proper rest
