Hotels near Balboa Peninsula Beaches

"It was noisy. The room was ok, for 1 night."

"Beautiful property and easy to navigate.. On the bay location a plus and excellent food in the Restaurant. Room on the beach area was a real pleasure."

"Have stayed here multiple times over the years. Room was clean, king bed was comfortable. Housekeeping checked in every day or so, this is an improvement over its prior Sonder ownership, as this was not included. Hallway carpeting is a let down, could certainly use a cleaning but this was only a mild insult at the price point. Location cannot be beat. Parking is paid, I feel this should not be the case."

"Staying at the Doryman was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we stepped inside, we were greeted with genuine warmth and attentive care. Andrea and Kevin truly went above and beyond, making us feel instantly at home. We can't wait to return!"

"I stayed here while celebrating my birthday at the beach on May 4th, 2026, and was looking for a comfortable place that wouldn’t break the bank. I was pleasantly surprised by how clean and well-maintained the property was. The booking process was quick and easy, and having parking included was a huge plus. Overall, it was a great experience—I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others."

"When we arrived check in was fine however there was never anyone at the front desk the entire time we were there after that until we checked out. Upon arrival I had to ask for new sheets because the bedding was dirty. The hotel had a smell, kind of like body odor. The sink in the bathroom leaked water. The air conditioning did not work properly, as soon as we turned it on it smelled like it was burning. At best 3 out of 10 and I would not recommend this hotel unfortunately. "

"Staff was amazing!!! "

"Couldn’t really see beach from Hotel but it’s only a block away and they have bikes you can use to cruise the beach bikeways. Was a lot of fun and enjoyed the location. Had a beach basket with towels and a frisbee, could also get cornhole to take to beach. Really quite fun and the place was simple yet very clean. "
