Balboa Island Hotels, Newport Beach

"Friendly staff. Love the cookies"

"Great location. Staff are fantastic, rooms are clean and well maintained. The beds are comfy. Not too far of a walk to the parks. Close to Mimi’s restaurant which we always like to go to."

"This location is great - I really enjoyed the proximity to Disneyland. The facility is clean, quiet, and rooms are comfortable. The waterslide for kids is nice - my nephew loved it!"

"Great property within walking distance of Disney—it would be a decent walk but definitely not a long walk. Uber/lyft is like $6. Garden Walk is across the street; super convenient to the freeway. My only criticism is the ac has a musty smell when you first cut it on. The furnishings are dated and need to be replaced but they are clean. It’s surprising considering the lobby looks so upscale; the rooms should reflect the lobby. Another thing is they charge a $200 security deposit which seems excessive for the price point of the property; they charge your card for food and parking separate from the deposit, which I also found to be a bit weird bc that’s the whole point of a deposit—to cover the incidentals, so they charged $300 upon check in ($200 deposit +$100 for parking), on top of the money I’d already spent booking the hotel. I know the money will come back after check out but that’s $200 you’re not going to see for about a week after your vacation is over. Anyway, despite that, it’s a safe, clean property with a nice big pool my daughter loved swimming in. "

"Muy bueno"

"The staff was super friendly at this property., save yourself a walk to the park and get a lyfe for less than $15. Pool was relaxing and clean. Coffee was decent. Paid for the breakfast buffet and thought it was well worth it. Basic hot breakfast but the scones were super yummy and there was fresh fruit and proteins. Bed was comfortable but the room seems super humid. This made for a rough night. Overall you would stay here again. Parking is not free and it is an additional charge..."

"Great for walking to Disneyland. "

"Great service and walkable to a lot!"

"Great solo trip and much needed rest! The bar area at night is amazing!"
