Balboa Peninsula Point hotel guide. Highgate Independent hotel in Balboa Peninsula Point, Newport Beach

"Hotel room was nice and well maintained. Staff were nice and helpful. Walls are a little thin, so neighbors partying can be loud. Overall a great property that I would stay at again. "

"Great bang for your buck ! "

"Clean room but property looks old and run down, parking was a plus, 15-20min walk to the parks, no shuttle but we took the ART bus at Toys Story parking lot, which was very helpful. Breakfast was good on the first morning but then it became repetitive. Most of the staff were great, 1-2 were rude. Pool was small but refreshing after a long day at the Parks. "

"The breakfast is okay. Lots of options, waffles are amazing. The amenities are great for kids and adult's. We had to utilize the laundry facility, (dryers do not dry very well.) And the gym was nice. My only complaint about this hotel is the parking. The spaces are so narro. It is very difficult to park while also keeping in mind that you might have passengers I need to get out and the cars in between you also need to utilize their own doors"

"The room was extremely cramped, with one queen bed right under the window. The bathroom was hard to use due to layout and there was no hand soap provided, just body and face bar soap. I wouldn’t stay here again with my kids despite the good location and nice staff. "

"I took my 13 year old son to Disney and Knott's, so we stayed for a week. Check-in was quick considering they were pretty busy. The room was nice and clean. The tub drained properly (a huge bonus and a rarity for hotels these days). I really liked the boysenberry scented shampoo and conditioner, but I was disappointed that I could not purchase it. Oh well. Gift shop only took cards, so we didn't buy anything there. The hotel breakfast (not included in price) was also really good. I would definitely recommend this place, and would stay here again. "

"Great stay, the hotel staff was helpful and kind, I did like the perk of having transportation to and from Disneyland ( dream shuttle )"

"The breakfast restaurant is only open until 11:30 and is excellent. Find some other place to eat thereafter, the menu is Italian style light fare like pizza and spaghetti. Avoid the meatballs. Yuk Rooms are bland and mediocre for the price. There's a small shallow pool with concrete deck for sun bathing. "

"Check in was quick and easy. Room was clean and comfortable. Hotel was convenient to the convention center and Disneyland. Had an excellent stay."
