First I thought the pillows were not comfortbale at all. Second and most importantly, I could hear the upstairs people all night which kept my family and I awake.

It was a great hotel with great service. The food was excellent. The only strange thing I’d note is they put me in a wing that was essentially full of amenities for members of the Balboa Bay Club that were not available to the general resort guests. The view from my balcony was of a beach, pool, and lawn I could look at but not use. Thankfully I didn’t have any small children with me because having to explain why they couldn’t play with the other kids having fun on the lawn would have been tough. Overall I feel like the price for the room per night was too high since you pay to stay on the water but can’t use the beach. Overall I did enjoy my stay but likely won’t stay there again.

We got a room on a first floor facing a parking lot when I requested a room higher and with a view. So that was disappointing and loud in the evening. Staff promised to move us but didn’t on top of that service is a bit slower than expected.

The air conditioning in my room was broken! My room was 85 degrees and when I asked for someone to come help me they called saying they were working on it but never came and it never got fixed! They only took off $40.00 1 day of self parking in which the lot was completely full and had to park on street til a space later that evening opened up! They were nice but did not solve any of the issues and never followed up about my very hot room!!!
