The hotel (or is it a large B&B?) is locateed in a couple of old houses in a beautiful residential area along Balboa Park. The decor is resolutely kitsh, it is a matter of taste of course. Upon entering the room, one is struck first by the decor, and at the same time by the excessive smell of air freshener.... More

My husband and I recently stayed in the Jungle Nook room at Balboa Park Inn. The room is decorated in a way that some might find "over the top," but I thought it was very fun! The walls are painted to look like jungle plants and there are exotic animals everywhere. There were even a few Christmas deocrations added here... More

I mainly selected this place because it sounded nice and was walking distance to the zoo. The rooms have personality as others have said and my wife really liked it. Breakfast was good and the area is great, no complaints! More

The living area faces the street, but... More

Unknowingly we booked a trip to San diego during Comic Con and found all hotels had jacked the price up. This little inn was the exception but we were leary. Since the location was so good (right next to Balboa Park) and down the road from my sons house we said what the heck. We are so glad we did!... More

We recently stayed at the Balboa Park Inn in San Diego's Hillcrest neighborhood in mid-October 2011. Our room was the "Medley Suite," a 2nd floor suite with a living room, bedroom, bath, and sizable full kitchen. Other amenities included free continental breakfast delivered to your room with more than enough pastries for 2 adults and a toddler, coffeemaker and coffee,... More

We spent 3 nights in this delightful B & B. The rooms were spacious and clean, the service was very friendly and they went out of their way to help us in any way they could. I had a dental emergency our second day there and they not only came up with a list of local dentists but hand delivered... More
