Balboa Inn, On the Beach

Balboa Inn, On the Beach

10/10 Excellent
"The property is in a perfect location - across the street is the beach and pier and in the opposite direction it is steps from the Fun Zone and the Balboa Ferry. They have valet parking but it is expensive. We parked in the public parking and had no trouble. They have a included continental breakfast with prepackaged muffins but literally on the corner is a nice restaurant for breakfast and in the "lobby" (breezeway at the bottom of the stairs) is a restaurant we did not eat at but is convenient. The pool is small and the jacuzzi was busy. We did not use them but they are on property. The place is bigger than it looks - it is mostly on the second and third floors above the shops and restaurant at street level. The room was smallish but the bed was nice."
