Great staff and great experience. Location is fantastic.

To many flies could open the door needs updating

Great location and staff.

We stay here specifically for the location and always enjoy our stay. We have a bike rental place, boutiques, the ferry, whale watching and amusement center steps away...plus loads of eateries (and a biking place) right outside. It took us only 15 mins. to get to Fashion Island for a movie. The hotel restaurant, Matera, is delicious, and the our waiter is always very kind. It's not cheap $$$$, but the convenience and quality is worth it to us. Check-in was quick. If you don't want to pay $65 for valet, there are three lots adjacent. You only have to pay for parking in the lots from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Newport Beach Pier and The Wedge are just a 10 min. walk in opposite directions on the promenade. All of the hotels directly on the beach are older, so keep that in mind. They are more "vintage." You pay for the location. Last, the city and police are really enforcing the rules for partying and noise. Things tone down at all of the Newport beaches, including Corona Del Mar, at 10:00 PM. Thank you, Newport Beach!

Perfect location. Nice breakfast and coffee and juice. Everything is close. AC worked perfect.

We had a great stay at the Balboa Inn on the Balboa Peninsula in Newport Beach. Before booking, I saw a few reviews saying “never book here,” and honestly, I don’t understand that based on our experience. Maybe those reviews were from before some of the renovations, because our room was excellent and appeared to be recently refurbished. While some of the hallways and common areas feel a little dated, it didn’t take away from the overall experience at all. The room itself was clean, updated, and very comfortable, with great amenities and an unbeatable proximity to the beach. What stood out right away was the staff — warm, friendly, and welcoming from the moment we arrived. That kind of hospitality makes a big difference.(Thank you Kenny at the front desk and Daniel the valet) The location is fantastic and the property has a unique charm. There are rooms on the front side closer to the beach and rooms in the back, where we stayed. Our back room was quieter, which we appreciated. Yes, the rooms are close together, so you may hear some neighboring doors or occasional noise, but that’s part of staying in a lively, tightly packed beach area like Newport. One of our favorite things to do was walking over to the jacuzzi and relaxing there after a day at the beach. It was a great way to end the day. Overall, a unique, welcoming, and

Staff were perfect. Found we were there for a birthday thing and upgraded our room. Room was good Area was great everything is right there pizza beach beer and shops Wonderful board walk to stroll! I would for sure stay again!!!!

We were there because it was a perfect location, right on the beach.

It would be nice for the price point to remove , rust, and ripped head boards and footboard, to have a mini fridge clean and many other issues.

Awesome location near the beach. Rooms are small but the location makes up for that. Dinner at Matera was wonderful. We will be back!
