My Husband and I stayed at the Balboa Park Inn at the end of our honeymoon after travelling through California. After the bright lights of LA, the Balboa Park Inn was a breath of freah air - I have never stayed anywhere quiet like it and was very impressed. We stayed in the 'Beach House' which was wonderfully spacious and... more

The Balboa Park Inn is a quirky bed and breakfast/inn/hotel centrally located in San Diego and is a great place to stay if you're looking for clean, comfortable, quiet accomodations that are a little off the beaten path. My husband and I stayed there for a four night getaway during March. We found that the Balboa Park Inn represented the... more

We really enjoyed our stay at the Balboa Park Inn. Its location was great and the roof garden was nice. The best part is that its walking distance to many sights.. the zoo, the park itself and some very nice restaurants. We also found it realistically priced for San Diego. I would recommend it ! more

I booked Balboa Park based on previous TripAdvisor reviews. They weren't wrong. This is an excellent place. The room was a good size, bed was comfortable and all the staff were friendly and helpful. In fact the cleaner even found a necklace which we had left in our room on check out. The hotel provides some nice touches like daily... more

We have just returned from our fourth visit and will most definitely stay here again. Unlike the many hotels with their "cookie cutter" rooms, this inn is charming and unique. Each room or suite is decorated differently and beautifully furnished. Breakfast was once again delivered to us in our suite or on the terrace or upstairs deck and consisted of... more

My husband and I stayed 2 nights at this hotel while on vacation and checking out neighborhoods for a relocation. This inn is completely quirky and fun. Because the place was so full, we had to stay in two different rooms, which we ended up being happy about because each room is decorated in a "theme" and it was really... more

We stayed in the Mayfair Suite at the Balboa Park Inn for 7 nights during spring break. This was our second stay at the Balboa Park Inn and it was even better than the first. It truly feels like a home away from home. The location is excellent,n a quiet residential neighborhood that is iwithin walking distance of the zoo... more

Recently returned from a trip for daughter's wedding to newly graduated Marine. Wasn't sure what to expect, but was very impressed with this quaint little inn. We stayed in the Las Palomas suite with great private balcony that overlooks Park Blvd and Balboa Park. It was very comfortable and we really enjoyed sitting on the balcony for the complimentary continental... more

Came to San Diego on business and did not want to stay downtown.. Chose very well.. had a lovely suite (3 room) and loved the roof top lounge area. Internet: off and on which can be a problem since I was there on business but it wasn't that too much of a slow down/ did not bother me enough not... more

My 4-year-old son and I stayed in the California Suite. It was a good size for us. It was essentially a very small apartment with a full kitchen (minus dishwasher), small dining room table, bedroom, and living room area. There was a tiny outdoor area too. Not really a deck, but sort of an enclosure. My son enjoyed running his... more
