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.

We checked in and the room we booked felt like a dark closet. I immediately called the front desk and asked for an upgrade. We paid the difference and were very happy with our ocean front room. I would have been very disappointed if we had to stay in the first room.

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 The first thing I needed to fix in the room was the toilet {very old and out of date}.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

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.
