Hotels in Balboa Peninsula

"Right in the middle of the action of Balboa Island. Steps from beaches. Great people watching. Lots of restaurants and shops. Vegan options abound. "

"We love staying at the Balboa Inn. You are right on the beach and you can also walk to the Catalina Island Ferry. "

"Nice views of the beach from public areas. Friendly and helpful staff. Relaxed vibe compared to larger hotels."

"Awesome hotel! Great location-easy walk or bike ride to the beach. The provided beach cruisers were awesome. Loved our stay."

"This is a nice little motel that is a very convenient place visiting the Balboa, CA community; the beach, the cement path along the beach, the marina, or friends. "

"The staff was very helpful and nice, the room was clean and comfortable, it was very close to the beach within 2 minutes of walking distance. What a great little local place."

"Roof deck and lobby restaurant were great! Hotel staff warm and welcoming. I lost my Jacket and Jerry found it and mailed it back to me. I cannot say enough nice things about this Newport peninsula jewel. "

"Great location, easy access. I will be staying there again next time in the area"

"The location was excellent. We were disappointed in the condition of the rental- broken sofa bed, broken microwave, missing slats from vertical blinds, dirty towel in bathroom, hand towels found in dryer, three dirty dishes found in cupboard."

"The property was beautiful as was the room. The food was delicious and breakfast was just wonderful"

"We loved it. Highly recommend. It’s a beautiful place with excellent breakfast, a pool and laundry and polite staff. We will come back."

"The room was clean, air conditioning was great. It was nice to open the window. Breakfast was great."

"Amazing location. 5 minute walk to the beach, local eateries and shopping. Rooftop Deck was nice. There is construction being done and it's a family place, so keep that in mind. For us, my daughter and I had a great experience"

"Great stay, in a convenient location for a lot of different city amenities. I was concerned about the dinghy carpet but the day we checked out there was a carpet cleaning company cleaning the carpets. Family friendly, clean pool and lounge area."

"Good location. Nice morning coffee selections. Easy parking. Good value 👏 "

"It was a very fun and unique experience. The food at the cafe and restaurant were both delicious and the staff very helpful and polite. There’s many parts of the boat you can explore on your own or you can book one of the tours available. Plenty of parking available for a daily fee. The location is very close to the aquarium, beaches and shopping areas. "

"Great spot. The beds are super comfortable and the water pressure was very high. I highly recommend and would rebook if ever in the same area. "

"I absolutely loved my stay at Ayres hotel and spa! The staff were wonderful, from check in to service when my TV needed to be reset, to the bar tenders in the restaurant, to the spa staff ...they were all amazing.
