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….

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.

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 Paint was chipped throughout the room furniture is very outdated.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.
