Balboa Peninsula Point hotel guide. Sonesta Hotel hotel in Balboa Peninsula Point, Newport Beach

"Rooms are like a maze to get to after you get off the elevator. Good experience"

"The staff was very friendly and helpful. The bartender was great. The pool was the perfect temp. The room, however, was incredibly basic with little to no amenities which made it challenging for us as a family with 2 little ones. The lack of bathroom counter space and absence of drawers meant everything was within our toddler's reach, making the little time we spent awake in the room very frustrating. The room also didn't include a coffee maker and the outlet for the kettle and microwave didn't work, although we never mentioned this to the staff. "

"Toilet was dirty, there was a dirty towel and the bathtub is in terrible condition. We won’t be staying there anymore… "

"The room was dirty—I found three bugs crawling on the beds. The floor hadn’t been swept or mopped, and there were hairs in the bathtub. At checkout, the staff member never got up from behind the desk; she simply asked for my room number and didn’t provide a receipt. When I requested one, she said they were out of paper and that it would be emailed. I have yet to receive my emailed receipt. Needless to say, I won’t be staying here again."

"The staff at the front desk was very helpful and attentive the entire stay and the convenience of the place in general is just amazing. So many restaurants, stores, and bars near you and of course Disneyland is just a 15 minute walk. The following day I got to use the jacuzzi and the pool which were delightful. They also have a very useful mini Mart shop for any emergency items or snacks you might need. It was easy to find parking in front of our room and the size of the room was spacious. Besides it being a little outdated/motel looking, it was still a great place to stay."

"Room was dirty and dated. "

"You have to pay for parking, room carpets and bathrooms are stained. Furniture is chipped or stained. Walls are pretty thin, you can hear the family at the other end of the hall yelling. It’s a family friendly hotel. You can expect kids running down the hall from 8-11pm. The shower hose kept falling off at random times. The pool area was cool. It just felt crowded and the towels were pretty old. "

"We enjoyed our stay! The pool and hot tub were fun to use. It would have been nice if there was some sort of breakfast included. "

"solid breakfast options, convenient to the park, you can hear your neighbors"
