My husband & I stayed at 9 Cranes Inn for three nights in the Ballard View room. Shelley was very helpful and able to work with our late-night arrival after our wedding. She's also an excellent chef! Every morning there was a delicious, beautiful arranged breakfast to start our day. The room itself was comfortable and bright. The private deck... More

My only regret about 9 Cranes Inn was that I arrived late after a meeting and had to leave the next morning for the airport. I could have stayed a long time! The Fremont room was beautifully decorated in my favorite colors (red and black) and all the amenities were present. The bathroom was beautifully laid out, attractive -- and... More

We stayed at 9 Cranes Inn for a whole week, and one of the best things about our trip to Seattle was our stay here. We felt so pampered: the room (Ballard View) was gorgeous, clean and bright. The breakfasts were outstanding, expertly prepared and beautifully served. Shelley was very helpful in guiding us to interesting places to see and... More

I stayed at 9 Cranes for several days and had a wonderful time. My room was very comfortable very clean, and tastefully decorated. Every morning Shelley, the owner, treated me to a delicious and nutritious breakfast. She made sure that they were varied and accommodated my gluten and dairy free diet. If you want to experience one of Seattle's great... More

My husband and I stayed in the Ballard Room for three nights last week. Our every comfort was not just seen to, but anticipated. Shelley provided care and attention to everything, including a warm welcome, great breakfasts, and generally making us feel comfortable and at home. The Ballard Room is a a real getaway on the top level of the... More

My wife and I had the privilege of staying at 9 Cranes in for two weeks. We stayed in the room downstairs. Other than being smaller than the upstairs rooms, it shared every comfort and was equally well appointed, including a spacious en suite bathroom. The entry to the room is adjacent to the dining room, however the actual bedroom... More

I simply had an amazing time at 9-Cranes. What a great way to relax and a wonderful jumping off point to see the city! My host, Shelley, was marvelous and truly gave me everything I needed. I highly recommend!!

Our recent stay at 9 Cranes Inn was absolutely perfect. Innkeeper/owner Shelly was above and beyond helpful - she even provided Epsom Salts for the jetted tub when I told her the physical therapist had recommended it for a sprained shoulder. Beautiful views from our rooftop deck . Breakfast was delicious and varied each day. Parking was very convenient. There... More

We are neighbors of this place, and heard about it from other neighbors. When my sister's family was coming to town, we took a tour and quickly decided to host her family here. What a great idea. It's a five-minute walk from our house, so our guests could walk back and forth and didn't need to rent a car. They... More

What a wonderful inn! I concur with all the past reviews, i.e. beautiful inn, super comfortable bed and bath, a sunny reading area, dietary needs accommodated, delicious foods, etc. Shelley has created a perfect environment for those of us in town for a few days. I'll be back and would love to stay for at least a week. Wish I... More
