Solarena
It was walking distance to the beach. It wasn’t too far from Balboa peninsula. Check in was hassle free. The pool looked nice but it was too cold & overcasted to enjoy.

Lido House, Autograph Collection
And the room vibrated all night long from the club upstairs you could not go to bed till one in the morning. I had to check out the next day. I would never stay there again.

Balboa Inn, On the Beach
We had a slight view of the beach from our room but it is literally a 2 minute walk to the sand. Didn’t need a car because you can walk everywhere. Room was clean, staff was amazing, and location is the key!

Close to beach and good location. Property is very dated and needs updating but was overall clean and provided a comfortable bed.
