Stephen, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The room was very cute and peaceful. I loved the hammock and the rooftop area. The views are so pretty of the ocean and the staff was very friendly. It’s a small hotel which made it more personal, there was a little note with my name on it when I arrived to the room. I’d stay here again if I ever go back to Malibu.
Kayla, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I was pleasantly surprised by the room. The bed was comfortable and well put together. The decoration in the room was nice. The amenities in the room were great. They have beach towels, robes, and toiletries. I loved the coffee delivered to my room in the morning. I would stay here again when I am in Malibu.
Jessica, 1-night trip

Thank you for your service.
JAMES, 7-night trip

8/10 Good

Had a great time! Only downside was our room being under the rooftop bar in the morning. Their prep for the day began at 6:30 am which was a bit early for us. Overall a great stay though
Ally, 1-night trip

A Must Stay!!!

This was the cutest boutique hotel. It was very clean, very comfortable with many personal touches. They were the nicest hosts and I would tell anyone who is coming to Malibu to stay here. We absolutely fell in love with the kind hosts, the cute decorations, the personal note and water, and all the amenities! Such a gem of a place! And it’s across the street from the Pier and direct access to the beach!

Nice
mark, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Had a lovely stay with great staff and got a free upgrade without asking for one. Beautiful room and view. The only issue was there was a bit of an ant infestation in the room and certain key. Things were damaged like broken hammock on the balcony, broken bottle cap in the bottle of water in the room so that it was difficult to open. And ripped robe. Outside of these little things it would’ve been perfect.
Lolia, 1-night trip
