Highlights

Location: 5-minute walk to Malibu beach

Accommodations: Restored mid-century design

Amenities: Outdoor pool with ocean views

Dining: Steps away from casual & high-end dining

“The hotel's mid-century design offers a unique Malibu experience, with its proximity to the beach and pet-friendly policy appealing to many; however, light sleepers might find the noise levels challenging. Though the staff's friendliness and room cleanliness are definite advantages, the soundproofing is clearly an issue that impacts the overall stay. In my opinion, location is the main draw here, so bring earplugs.”
