Just wanted to take a moment to write a review about this terrrifc hotel! It's great for anyone! We are Orange County residents and only live 15 minutes away from Newport, but we wanted to stay on the beach near our favorite beach! We couldn't have chosen a better hotel! The staff was super friendly and made us feel VERY welcome! Our rooms were clean and roomy for our family of 6! We all had a blast walking around town, sampling all the great food both at the hotel and at adjacent restaurants! We plan on going back again soon! It's nice to have a hotel close to home that offers such great hospitality in such an amazing location! Even if I didn't live close by, I'd recommend traveling to Balboa Inn from anywhere.! The beaches are fantastic and GREAT for kids (there's even a huge playground right on the sand just steps away), you can walk or bike to all your entertainment, and the resort is beautiful. Some rooms are older and some are new so be sure to let them know if you have a preference! Go enjoy.... we did!!!!!
