The Balfour Hotel

Triple check your room before...

Disliked: Do not forget anything in your bedroom…you will never find it again! I left behind a very special gold necklace after I checked out, and no one can find it which is impossible as I clearly remind even the place where I left in the room. I’m very disappointed with the service there.

The stay was amazing and...

Liked: The property is within walking distance to pretty much everything you would need. Food, souvenirs, the beach, landmarks, Walgreen's/CVS, pretty much everything. The staff is helpful and you get a lot of perks just for staying there. Daily umbrella and chairs on a private beach, credits toward bike rentals, and other stuff that we didn't use but sounded pretty good. The rooms are decent with comfortable beds and good features. The rooftop view was fair and nice to hang out on in the evenings.
Disliked: It was a little complicated to connect to the wifi, but it was there and was good when you got connected. There was a hot tub/pool thing that was cute, but kind of small. But the beach is right there, so... The restaurant was a little pricey and the food was mid, but you don't have to eat there so just go somewhere else. There are a lot of restaurants that are within walking distance anyways.

great location, happy hour, and...

Liked: Looks exactly like the photos, loved the bathroom and shower, perfect location to the beach and restaurants!! Happy hour was also fantastic when getting ready for dinner
Disliked: There was no overhead light in our room and the room faced the street so we kept the blinds closed. But honestly did not matter too much

Exceptional

Horrible

Liked: The location
Disliked: I paid an extra $235 for breakfast for 4 days and it only came with toast OR croissant, fruit, tea, coffee or juice. The hotel has 2 different sides, the first side they put us on, the tv did not work in our room. The main desk changed our room directly below the first room and that tv was not working as well. We informed the front desk and they responded with we'll try to have maintenance fix it in the morning. Maintenance never came up or fixed the issue. I informed the front desk that we were unhappy about that. They put us in a 3rd room on the other side of the building. The room was not that clean and the ceiling was horrible. The windows were filthy. Then it was though the front staff was upset with us for expressing our feelings about our stay. All in all, I would NOT stay there again or recommend.

Absolutely loved my stay –...
