Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is ideally located, within walking distance to the beach and a supermarket, making it convenient for guests. The rooms are impeccably clean and comfortable, although the lack of working air conditioning could be a drawback for some. The staff is very accommodating and helpful, despite occasional issues with card charges. The morning haze slightly obstructs the otherwise pleasant sea view from the balcony.
The hotel is an excellent choice due to its prime location right on the Pacific Coast Highway, offering convenient access to the beach. The rooms, although clean, are a bit basic and can get uncomfortably warm without AC. The service could be more welcoming and informative, and the neighboring noise levels may disrupt your sleep. Overall, it's a decent stay with some room for improvement.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The bright and spacious room was spotless, but it had a crappy bed and a tiny bathroom without face wash cloths, leading to discomfort. Unfortunately, the strong smell of smoke made both me and my child sick. On the upside, the location was excellent, and the hotel was conveniently located near the beach and other attractions in Malibu.
The hotel may not be perfect, but it has its charms. Despite basic rooms with a small and unimpressive bathroom, there's a silver lining with a clean space and a lovely balcony for a nice touch. The service is a mixed bag, with rude encounters but also friendly and knowledgeable staff. The location is a double-edged sword, close to beach bliss but with some noise nuisances. Dining offers both convenience and mixed experiences. Overall, the place is not without its flaws, but it brings some perks too.
The hotel offers very clean and basic yet comfortable rooms on the second and third floors. The service is incredibly polite, helpful, and quick to assist. The location is ideal for those looking to explore Malibu beach, with some high-cost establishments nearby.
The hotel's location across the road from the beach is good, offering a convenient spot to enjoy the view and dine at nearby places. The service was a mix of friendly and concerning moments, with helpful staff but issues with overcharging. The rooms were plain and clean, though the noise from the highway and neighboring rooms made it less appealing. Overall, the value for money was not ideal.
