Liked: I loved the location

Place was dirty

Liked: Close proximity to beach and nightlife
Disliked: Mismatch paint, chipping paint, dirty looking rooms! Needs to be upgraded! For the cost of these rooms this place definitely needs an upgrade. We could have stayed at 4-5star hotel for this price. We actually thought this was another hotel that has the same name/close to same name that's nice hotel!

Overall, good trip.

Liked: Location; staff; room
Disliked: Large group of people were visiting next to our room. They were very loud. Finally went back to their rooms around 12:30 am.Construction started early in the morning.

I will never stay here...

Liked: The only good thing about this property was the proximity to the beach
Disliked: EVERYTHING!!! The staff was horrible, the rooms were dirty, and they messed up our check in so bad that they charged me almost triple the holding fee and refused to unfreeze it

Liked: The location is fantastic!!

Okay Stay

Liked: The Balboa Inn is standard and the rooms could be updated and cleaner. Overall our stay was acceptable. Good location.
Disliked: Rooms need updating.

Spent 3 days here and...

Liked: The location and the view.
Disliked: AC didn’t work. Refrigerator barely worked. No ice machine which was a big issue for us. Most doors didn’t shut properly as they weren’t aligned. Half the windows wouldn’t open. One of the robes had a small blood stain on it maybe from shaving. Shower head was broke but honestly didn’t bother me or my shower. Shower curtain rod was about to fall off after being bolted to the ceiling. One of the tiles was loose in the middle of the floor. Everything just seemed broken and old. Street/parking lot traffic/noise was constant all night. Parking was a nightmare having to spend a couple hundred dollars in the public parking for the trip.
