Top Newport Beach Hotel Reviews

Balboa Inn, On the Beach

Balboa Inn, On the Beach

8/10 Good
"Staff was excellent from the front desk to the valet, housekeeping to the restaurant staff. The location is fun as it is in the center of the peninsula; however, the nightly noise of other residents kept us up. It is noisy as the doors are old and heavy and need to be closed with a little muscle, which adds to the nightly noise. This location is probably divine in the winter, when only the locals are partying on the peninsula."
