“Balboa Inn exudes a certain old-world charm, a welcome change from the predictable chain hotels; its prime location on Balboa Beach is undeniable. The Italian restaurant, with its ocean views, seems a perfect spot, and the bike rentals a thoughtful touch for exploring the area. However, some reports raise concerns about room upkeep and noise, elements to consider despite the inn's better qualities.”
