Balboa Inn, On The Beach At Newport

I cannot emphasize enough how terrible this hotel is. Please, please read the reviews before booking. Do not give them the benefit of the doubt. It is literally roach infested and the rooms are filthy and disgusting. It is a nightmare at any price. But they overcharge and also include a lot of hidden fees (resort fees, parking, etc). Also, be careful of third party scams! They act like they are at the front desk of the hotel and make promises that the hotel will never keep. Disinterested Hotel Manager that is rude and dismissive. You have been warned!

I had a lovely albeit short stay. I was so relaxed and contented I wish I could've stayed another night. In fact, I needed to leave at 7am but my evening was so nice I cancelled my plans, opened all the windows to let in the crisp Christmas morning air and lingered in bed til check out.

Location is amazing!! Within walking distance of good food and the beach/pier.

The free breakfast is what you'd expect, but for the price you pay for the room it could be much better.

Right on the Beach ⛱️ and Next to all the Shops and restaurants 😋🤠

The location was great. The views from the room.

The door would not lock shut. The spa tub did not work. Parking.

The room was in poor condition, with peeling paint and chipped furniture. The exterior of the building looks good and inviting but our room was like a cheap motel room.

The rooms need to be updated.
