It was super cute! The front desk assistant was so nice! The only thing is the room seemed like the floors were kind of caving in. But it’s right on the beach and rustic. We loved it for our family of 4!

No shade on the window. Holes above window where there used to be a rod. Chunk missing out of fireplace hearth. Bath fan was VERY noisy. Floor is so uneven that the nightstand drawer won’t stay closed. Other than that it’s a quaint 97 year old hotel.

The first room I was given was unacceptable. Old, only one 36”X36” window, dark and dreary. After I was upgraded to a luxury apartment with view it was GREAT (for additional money). The location is super. The architecture very nice. Parking is very expensive. Breakfast minimal. Desk people very friendly and helpful.

Deluxe room was very small, bed was a twin and no space in restroom. Great area just make sure you spend 600$ or more if you need leg room.

Was given room without working A/C and what looks to be curtains that were ripped off. No phone to call the front office. Was able to switch rooms but after unpacked. Question why would they assign a room that wasn’t appropriate… unacceptable for over 300 per night.

Yes the hotel (seems like a motel) is on the water but for the price for 1 night definitely not worth it. A/C was broken in our room and my other family memebers as well. Paint was chipped throughout the room furniture is very outdated.

Excellent location and classic style building Property needs to be upgraded with paint, polish. The a/c was not functioning properly, and despite comfortable outdoor temperatures in mid-September, the room was too hot...with both windows open, no breeze came in to cool things down at night. Breakfast is not even up to Motel 6 standards. I expected a bit more class considering the Newport Beach location and history.

didnt realise the drive to from peninsula was difficult & crowded. The super hot weather wasnt their fault. Room furnishings need updating, & elevator , stairs, hot tub, could all use updating. Loved eating at the restaurant Matera! And really appreciated our server Alex.

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.
