Property was beautiful and unique, right off the beach. Beds were comfortable. One of our 2 rooms had some stains on carpet, but that did not effect our stay. Staff was very nice. Breakfast lack protein, but its still sufficient eniugh. Plenty of dining options near by Recommendation: read all signs regarding parking, time limits, etc. Staff was helpful when we asked about parking, but directions were not clear. If you don't plan to drive anywhere else during your stay, just pay for Valet.

I recently stayed at Balboa Inn and had a less-than-ideal experience. While the hotel’s location is very convenient, it unfortunately did not live up to expectations, especially considering the price. Upon checking into our room, we were immediately put off by cleanliness issues, as we found a cockroach and quite a bit of hair. I went to the front desk hoping to have our room changed, but they informed me that they were fully booked. Instead, they offered to send housekeeping to clean our room, which felt inadequate after checking in. To make matters worse, we encountered persistent issues with our room keys. Every time we left the room and returned, the keys failed to work, requiring us to visit the front desk at least four times during our one-night stay for replacements. We even overheard other guests facing the same frustrating problem. Overall, while the hotel has potential due to its prime location, the cleanliness issues and key problems really detracted from our stay. For the price, I expected much better. I hope the management addresses these concerns for future guests.

The rooms were outdated and in need of many repairs. Electrical outlets did not work, missing toilet paper holder, had to lift the toilet lid to be able to flush the toilet, window coverings broke and unable to close/open. The Italian Restaurant attached was great and the bartenders Mark & Marcello were amazing! Would not recommend staying there unless it gets renovated. Location is perfect!
