I had a lovely stay at The Balfour, enjoying the clean lobby and comfortable room. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, making my experience even better. The location was perfect, just a short stroll to the beach and far enough from the noise of Ocean Drive, although I did notice some minor issues like room size and maintenance that could be improved.

The room was cozy and stylish, with nice mid-century modern decor, but I did find it to be on the smaller side. It lacked some thorough cleaning after each guest, and I wished there was better water pressure in the shower.

I spent three nights at The Balfour, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The location was excellent, just a short stroll from the beach and local nightlife. The room, while modern and clean, had its drawbacks, notably the view and a few minor furniture quirks. The service from the staff was consistently friendly and helpful, meaning I'd consider returning for the value and vibe.
Rooms

The room had a modern look with a touch of European flair, but I was disappointed by the promised ocean view that turned out to be less than ideal. The amenities were decent, including a walk-in closet and a sound machine, though I found the oddly boxed-in mattress caused a few bruises on my shins.

While the hotel offered a nice front porch for drinks, I found the dining options somewhat limited, and would have preferred more variety for breakfast. I did enjoy the two complimentary drinks, which were a nice touch.

My stay at The Balfour was a mix of highs and lows. The location is fantastic, just steps from the beach, which really enhanced the experience. However, the room was frustratingly small and the noise levels from outside were disruptive. The staff was genuinely helpful, frequently offering assistance, but I had some issues with the amenities and overall comfort.

While the hotel offered some good amenities, like beach towels and umbrellas, I did find the pool to be quite small. Additionally, some facilities like the air conditioning were either too strong or took too long to cool the room.

My stay at The Balfour was a mix of positives and a few concerns. The location was fantastic, just a short walk from the beach, and the common areas featured some really cool art pieces. However, the valet service was not up to par, taking far too long to get my car and arriving with some concerning issues. Overall, it was a decent experience, especially for a getaway, but there's room for improvement.
