We stayed in the Oriental Express Room which was very unique. Someone has collected quite a few Chinese antiques and put them all in this room. Room was large with both a walk-in shower and raised tub. Didn't interact much with the staff which was fine, everyone we did see was very friendly. Only downside was the on-street parking which...

We visit the Balboa Park Inn at least once a year, visiting several of their individually-themed suites. Each suite, from small studios to multiple bedroom suites, have been tastefully decorated and maintained in excellent shape. The interior courtyard is beautifully landscaped, and the second level deck with chaise lounges, chairs and tables is a fabulous place to relax on a... More

My fiance and I were visiting San Diego over the New Year's holiday 2012. We always try to stay "in the heart of town" wherever we go, but it's difficult to get a good price that way.

On the whole, don't bother... More

Having arrived in San Diego, travel weary and glad to get out of the madness of Hollywood, being a fatalist I was preparing myself for yet another bad experience when I arrived at the Balboa Park Inn. How wrong could I have been? From the exceptionally friendly greeting at reception to the amazing accommodation that our suite turned out to... More

I booked a room at the Balboa Park Inn for it's proximity to Balboa Park and the San Diego Zoo. I try to stay in a different part of SD every time I visit and I had never been to the North Park area (which also bleeds into University Heights). The Inn itself was just a delight. The staff was...

So my husband purchased a living social deal for this quirky hotel and we decided to cash it in on a long weekend. We knew that this was not going to be the typical hotel stay, but boy were we in for a surprise! We checked in with the Inn Keeper and she walked us to our room, the Bon... More
