1. Overall not a bad place to stay, not bad on the budget as well, but check the room selection at check-in to make sure it will be suitable for your needs.

2. BALBOA PARK INN is a restored guest house from the early part of the last century, now comprising 26 unique, differently appointed and themed suites - all affording the best in value, comfort, convenience and originality - and the food ain't half-bad either.

3. It could be a climb for someone who has bad knees.

4. I stayed at the Balboa Park Inn for a week during the wildfires in SD this fall, and they were super-concerned about my health and safety given all the bad stuff floating around the air.

5. It wasn`t a bad place, just old and probably shouldn`t be ranked #3.

"Great Location & Service, Bad Dwelling " Read full review on TripAdvisor 5/8/2007 Vote

6. Who wrote all those excellent reviews anyway? I actually feel bad writing this because the people that work there seem nice but I felt deceived by the #2 rating of this hotel and I`m afraid other people will be as disappointed as we were if they stay here expecting something great.

7. :-) I know that other guests mentioned a cleaning smell of some kind, but I didn`t really notice it and I have allergies and asthma, so it must not be all that bad.

8. It didn`t smell nearly as bad, just a hint of yucky air freshener.

9. We were booked to stay in the greystoke room, which didn`t look that bad in the website photos.
