Not enough shampoo, conditioner, or body gel. They were small samples that were difficult to get the soap out of. The hotel states that it has a pool, however it only has a jacuzzi; which was extremely dirty. When you get there, they ask for a $100 dollar security deposit stating that they will return it after. They never returned it and when I called they told me they had charged me $60 for a day of parking while I stayed there, and $33 for the resort. There was no resort.

Pros and Cons to Balboa Inn
The hotel staff was probably the best we’ve ever experienced from the front desk- Laura, the valet staff- Dylan and Cory to Chris, the bartender. The location is ideal! The property itself needs some improvements. The large jacuzzi was cloudy and non-inviting. Our queen bed was soft and not the most comfortable. The elevator closest to the ocean stopped working during our stay. The continental breakfast needed some variety especially for guests staying more than one night.

The first room we were in the air conditioning didn't work. They eventually moved us to another room. The location was great but the hotel looked old and in need of repair. Accommodations were not worth the price in my opinion.

The staff was pleasant and helpful. Even loaned us some beach chairs. The property is closest to the pier with a great view of the beach from many of the rooms. The noise level is moderate from the planes flying overhead from John Wayne and the Taco Cabo bar next door. It’s so nice being centrally located to all the fun Balboa has to offer. Within walking distance to the beach and fun zone. You won’t get any closer to the beach without spending thousands on a beach home. The rooms could use a little updating. The giant bathtub was missing the tub stopper. We ended up using Kleenex as a stopper. The TV’s are older and can’t stream or mirror. It would have been nice to have used our streaming services but unable. They had a wonderful continental breakfast each morning and the coffee was superb. There is an Italian restaurant and a cute bar on site. Overall was a great stay and would highly recommend anyone thinking of coming here.

Great property location but it needs to be updated. Multiple bulbs burnt out in the room. Toilet wasn’t cleaned one day when the maids had been in. Front of house staff was excellent. Would be nice if there was a full length mirror in the room.
