    The location was the best. The room is kinda pricy for what you get. Not very pretty, looked old and out dated.We were excited to use the jetted bath but it didnt work. The people who work there are very curtious and if you leave anything behind your sure to get it the next day.

    We emphasized several times that we wanted a room overlooking the ocean with a balcony. My son, who lives in Newport Beach, even went to the hotel to make sure they understood our request, and I called Hotels.com again to make sure our request would be honored. But, we were given an inside room with no view and no balcony.

    Was not to happy when we seen the musty smelling room with barely a window. When the hotel suggest we upgrade to the suite we did. This room was very nice,but now we paid more money. When later reading on line this happened to someone else my thought was does this hotel do this to everyone.

    Misadvertised, small, funky smelling rooms. Close to the ocean with acceptable service but close to a rowdy bar, so don't count on quiet nights with a gentle sea breeze drifting through your open window. Bring some earplugs, low expectations and your own luxury linens and you won't be disappointed.

    The hotel was in a great location, it has a really quaint feel with the spanish style. The room was tiny, but it didnt matter since we only stayed one night. I would go back, but get a larger room if my stay was longer.The staff was very accomodating and were prompt.

    Room was clean and looked like it was newly updated. Bed was small but comfortable. We requested a king size bed, but I don't think the bed was even queen size. We stayed in possibly the best room in the whole hotel, so I wonder if they even have king sized beds. Didn't need much service, but the people I did interact with were very friendly and helpful. […] The location couldn't be better. Stumbling distance to everything. Nice clean white towels and his and her robes. Read more

    This hotel went above and beyond my boyfriend and my expectations. When we arrived we didn't get the room we originally thought we were getting but staff immediately rectified the mistake and were very apologetic. I wouldn't recommend the deluxe rooms but the resort style ones were fantastic. Great area and very helpful friendly staff. This is a great […] family friendly environment or for that romantic couples getaway. Parking wasn't as much of a hassle as described in other reviews. There were 3 different options all pretty inexpensive. We are looking forward to coming back in May with our 4 little ones. Read more

    Got off to a bad start when they charged me $4 per day "energy fee". No amenities at all in the room. No desk. Breakfast doesn't open until something like 8, which was too late for any business travel or early risers. I stayed on a cold winter night and air seeped through all the old seals like a AC on full blast. The bathroom sink leaked about a cup […] a minute of water and the shower spout shoots water out like a fire hose. Instead of charging me $4 a day to compensate for their long outdated systems, why doesn't the hotel make some basic upgrades and maintenance? If you are in the room, you will swear the year is in an old building in the year 1995. Floor is so lumpy you can stub your foot on it. TV is 19" console. Some modern cable channels are included. Bars right outside your window with cackling drunk women, which may be a plus or a minus depending on your perspective. I will say they have nice hot tubs on the second deck looking over the boardwalk. Read more

    My boyfriend and I stayed for one night on New Years Eve. The hotel is charming and in a great location. Our room was a bit small but that was okay. There wasn't a chair or desk so no additional seating in the room. The bathroom was a bit outdated but functioning. We saw the interior of a bigger room and it seemed to have more updated amenities. Perhaps […] the upgrade is worth it if you are staying more than one night.The bed was incredibly comfortable!! The location is what makes this hotel. Walking distance to everything. Read more

    The room smelled musty when we arrived. The hotel is old and funky, not upscale at all. Loved being next to ocean and surrounding community, but much of area seems rundown.

    This hotel was a major disappointment. I understand that it is expensive because of its location, but there absolutely NO comforts to it. The room is tiny and old, and ours had a view of an alley and brick wall. Terrible for being so close to the beach. The kitchen was right below us, so all day and night we heard the head chef barking out orders. Dishes […] and pans were crashing til 11pm. The alley had its own set of noise as well. Fireworks, backfires, people arguing...you name it. The so-called pool is not a pool at all. It is just an oversized jacuzzi, and no one was even interested in using it. So if you are looking for relaxing by the pool with a drink, forget it. To top it all off, the valet ($35/nt) scratched my car. I hate this place and will never go back. Read more

    Clean Quaint and excellent location. ...My wife and I stayed the Balboa Inn on April 21st, prior to a business trip to Lake Forest. Those who do their research will know what to expect of the Balboa Inn. It is not a Marriot or Hilton and is not an extravagant beach-front condominium. Its elegance comes from its age and its quaintness comes from its […] location. The rooms are dated, but for those who want to visit Newport Beach to enjoy the restaurants, shopping, and the beach will realize that the Balboa Inn is a great choice. The staff is very friendly and the restaurant offers a very generous continental breakfast. Also, it is only one block to the ferry that provides access to the beautiful Balboa Island, a must place to explore and enjoy when in Newport Beach. To be objective, I must also point out that given the location and age of the building, outside noise can be a factor if you are a light sleeper. Read more

    The hotel is in a prime spot on the Newport Beach front but I really didn't see why I was paying that much for a 'family suite' if you could even call it that. The room was nothing more than a standard room with two different sizes of beds. The staff was wonderful even when I had to complain about the late night party going on in the room next to us. […] Normally I would have just joined said party but the kids were trying to sleep. Just my luck, too. sounded like a great party. I hated to break it up... Read more

    I booked this for myself and 3 other business collegues due to the great location and the great price. The location did not disappoint within a stones throw of Balboa Pier. But note, there are two phases to this hotel - modern and "film noir" - guess which phase we got. I was looking over my shoulder for Peter Lorre. The room furniture could not have […] been a day younger than 50. That said, the room was very clean, the bed was comfortable and plenty of water pressure in the very hot shower. At this price and this location, i would definitely stay again, but would'nt return with my wife or re-book for my collegues. Read more

    Location couldn't be better but it's sad that the owner of the property seems to not take pride in his property. A little would go a long way. Hire a painting contractor to properly paint the rooms,hallways,etc....My room was missing the window treatment. The curtain rods were left and one was left dangling unattached to the wall. Never could get the […] hot water to work in the bathroom sink. I grew up in the area and it saddens me that a historical place such as the Balboa Inn has been disrespectfully neglected.

    We paid for an upgrade to the new building, which is by far nicer than the old building. What we were not happy about is that our "ocean view" room meant that we had to look across a very large public parking lot to the ocean. Not worth the price for ocean view.

    The bed was like sleeping on a hard table. Under the bed was dirty. There were ACTUAL electrodes under the bed! Did the guy before me die, I'll never know. The cantina below had drunk people yelling til 3am. I sent my parents here for a romantic getaway... No way!!! It was no good for them, or families. SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!!
