Room was clean, small and renovated however, the cost of the room was really high, parking was pay lots really high, hotel charged $50 to valet your vehicle. Hotel was hard to find as its part of other retail establishments had to park on the street in traffic to check in. Beach view from the balcony was very nice and the poor is walkable from the hotel all in all a nice environment just some difficulties.

Great place if you need a place to sleep. Walking distance to beach and pier. Rubies Diner was off the chain! Air conditioning didn't work, furniture had accumulated dust and I found a peanut in the sheets as I pulled them back. Staff was pleasant and helpful. I always wanted to stay at Balboa Inn, I did and won't be returning

We had such a lovely stay here. Yes, it’s an older property and there was some paint peeling, etc. But not only is the view incredible, but the staff is amazing! So courteous and kind from the front desk to the housekeeping. We left a couple of items at the front desk when we checked in and the girl at the front desk ran them up to our room within two minutes. You can walk all over Balboa and the sand is right outside the door. There was construction all day so it was an early morning each day, but we didn’t mind. Will certainly be staying here again.

This place is overselling itself. It is a thoroughly decent small, not luxury, hotel next to a beach on Balboa Peninsula, that is it, period. It is NOT a resort so their $30 resort fee is misleading (as it is with virtually all hotels) and just a trick to get you pay more for your room.
