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.

Check in was great. We got to our room and it was nothing like the pics that are posted. We only stayed one night, thank god, they put us in a room right NEXT to where there is construction going on! 6AM they started working, we had no choice but to leave at that moment. I wish we had a better experience here.

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

Couldn’t ask for a better location. We didn’t rent a car and never needed one for our trip. The staff and service was great . A couple things in our room weren’t functional the blinds which I had to spend much time trying to tie up to let in light to see the ocean view.and flushingThe toilet was not working. Had to take off tank lid and flush manually flapper was fused shut .

Not so clean

The hotel is a bit run down. Our sheets had stains and it just didn’t feel very clean. Also it was fairly loud. For the price I would expect a cleaner better experience.
