2/10 Poor

Bad stay!
Thanksgiving weekend holiday. Winter at the beach. The staff were very friendly and tried to help. However they were junior staff left alone on a holiday weekend with no ability to correct problems. The first thing I needed to fix in the room was the toilet {very old and out of date}. The room its self was very small, barely large enough for the bed. There are three nice windows looking out onto Main Street, a park and an ocean view. But to see the view, it is necessary to stand on the bed to see out the windows. Then there was no heat in the room. When I reported this to the staff, they were unable to find a room at the same rate that had heat. Apparently this is a problem as the staff went to two other rooms on the second floor, trying to find one with heat. This was odd as the hotel was almost empty of other guests. We were offered an extra blanket. No other solution was offered. So we packed up and left. We won't be back.

Clean. Not kept up. Owner doesn't do much to repair the walls, furniture, paint. Small sink, didn't like shower glass which was only half covering the shower. No refrigerator, no microwave. Old, antequated. Terrible view.

Far too Noisy Bar across the road!!!
We’ve always loved staying at Balboa Inn - we’ve probably stayed there more than 5 x over the last 3 years! This time around, it was not so pleasant at all! A bar opened up across the little road and they were playing heavy load rock music until very late at night! Once that stopped and the bar closed, some drunken patrons sat on the pavement outside, talking at the top of their voices, until the early hours of the morning! I hope Balboa Inn will look into this, as sadly, I can tell you, not many guests will put up with this disturbance….

Perfect Location!
The hotel's location is fantastic, and it has a charming exterior. While the room could use some maintenance, I wasn't expecting perfection given the hotel's age and beachfront location. Despite some concerning reviews, the hotel pleasantly surprised us with its cleanliness, guest service, and a satisfactory continental breakfast. Plus, there's a wealth of activities within walking distance, making a car unnecessary. If you're looking to explore further, there's a convenient bike rental shop next door that's worth a visit. I would definitely stay here again.

I find the packages offered included the rooms with no view etc., I can’t really stay in a closet looking at a brick wall for a view, so will probably not use Hotels.com for rooms anymore. We had the same experience at Newport Harbor & Hotel in Rhode Island a couple months before.

I like this area of Balboa. It’s a little rough around the edges. The Balboa Inn was about what I expected and the location was great. Would stay again.

Not enough shampoo, conditioner, or body gel. They were small samples that were difficult to get the soap out of. The hotel states that it has a pool, however it only has a jacuzzi; which was extremely dirty. When you get there, they ask for a $100 dollar security deposit stating that they will return it after. They never returned it and when I called they told me they had charged me $60 for a day of parking while I stayed there, and $33 for the resort. There was no resort.

Pros and Cons to Balboa Inn
The hotel staff was probably the best we’ve ever experienced from the front desk- Laura, the valet staff- Dylan and Cory to Chris, the bartender. The location is ideal! The property itself needs some improvements. The large jacuzzi was cloudy and non-inviting. Our queen bed was soft and not the most comfortable. The elevator closest to the ocean stopped working during our stay. The continental breakfast needed some variety especially for guests staying more than one night.

The staff was pleasant and helpful. Even loaned us some beach chairs. The property is closest to the pier with a great view of the beach from many of the rooms. The noise level is moderate from the planes flying overhead from John Wayne and the Taco Cabo bar next door. It’s so nice being centrally located to all the fun Balboa has to offer. Within walking distance to the beach and fun zone. You won’t get any closer to the beach without spending thousands on a beach home. The rooms could use a little updating. The giant bathtub was missing the tub stopper. We ended up using Kleenex as a stopper. The TV’s are older and can’t stream or mirror. It would have been nice to have used our streaming services but unable. They had a wonderful continental breakfast each morning and the coffee was superb. There is an Italian restaurant and a cute bar on site. Overall was a great stay and would highly recommend anyone thinking of coming here.

Great property location but it needs to be updated. Multiple bulbs burnt out in the room. Toilet wasn’t cleaned one day when the maids had been in. Front of house staff was excellent. Would be nice if there was a full length mirror in the room.
