We just stayed there and had a good experience. We had the upstairs room with a balcony, right on the corner of the building. The balcony/patio was great for enjoying breakfast. They do have a breakfast option (which was included for our deal) but it isn't much to speak of. They bring you some warmed pastries, cereal, milk, and juice.... More

Stayed a few years ago and had to make a few changes due to the changing dates & number of others joining me. "Judy" seemed quite annoyed when I had to make changes - however they were not able to accomodate 3 or 4 of us at the time we needed. Was going to stay a few weeks ago and... More

The weather sucked during our visit, too, but we took advantage of the Inn's location adjacent to Balboa Park and hiked a four-mile loop that took us through the park and across Cabrillo Bridge. Very nice. This off-the-beaten-track B&B offers travelers the variety of themed rooms and an escape from the mundane SoCal experience. We are pretty conservative and liked... More

We enjoyed our stay. The staff were fantastic.It was located next to Balboa Park. The room was nicely appointed and very comfortable More

To be fair we hit terrible weather in San Diego, it hailed on our second day and this may have coloured our judgement. The patio attached to our room was wasted. But still the B&B could have been better. Most disappointing were the breakfasts which came with unlovely morning pastries and coffee was DIY. The reception was unwelcoming and information... More

Every room is a new experience. Great location, excellent shape, responsive staff. More

We took a last minute trip to the San Diego Zoo, and arrived in town at 6:00pm on a Saturday with no place to stay. I'm SO glad I checked Trip Advisor and read about the Balboa Park Inn. We were lucky to get their last available room. The place was so great for the low ($99) price that we... More

Reminded me of staying with relatives in an older house, very comfortable. The bed was not your typical hotel bed and the bedding was beautiful. There was quality furniture and Cuisinart cookware. It was surprisingly quiet considering the age and location of the building. Staff are friendly and housekeeping kept the place spotless. Down side? Could have had a slightly... More

I stayed at the Balboa Park Inn for 4-5 nights back in July 2011, and it was great. We stayed in a room facing Balboa Park, on the first floor. The room had a very warm, homey feel. Kind of like staying in the guestroom at your grandmothers house. The bathroom was large, with a jacuzzi tub. it was kind... More
