I feel very fortunate to have booked this hotel—it was my first time staying here, and I couldn’t have made a better choice. The location is excellent, and the staff were consistently friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Our room, overlooking the pool, was spacious, quiet, and very comfortable. We stayed just one night on our way to Catalina Island, but I truly regretted not booking a longer stay at the Balboa Bay Resort. Whether you’re looking for a romantic getaway or a fun family trip, I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area.

Read your invoices carefully. Our stay was pleasant until we found dine-in rom charges which never happened. They 'investigated' it for a week and procured a bill with our room number but we were at the pool by the time that is on the bill. So someone messed up or used our room number (with a very generic signature) and we were told the charges stay. It's not the amount of the charge but experience that ruined the whole thing. Now that I do not trust them, I have been asking for the itemized final bill and have yet to receive. I wish I had read other reviews, I wouldn't be as unpleasantly surprised at least. It seems to be their business.
