This building itself looks like it should be condemned and the room had huge stains on the carpet, dirty bathrooms and paper thin walls.

Convenient
The hotel was in a great location and convenient. The room was updated but for some reason the door wouldn’t open very far because it was stuck on the tile. The check in staff wasn’t very friendly, but at check out the other staff was very helpful. Parking at the hotel was pretty exorbitant but convenient.

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 The first thing I needed to fix in the room was the toilet {very old and out of date}.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….

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.

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.
