Short Walk from Surfrider Beach

Stayed here for my surfing trip to Surfrider Beach, about a 20 minute walk but much more affordable than the closer options. A comfortable place to stay with helpful staff. Would stay here again and recommend.

Hotel staff were very friendly, the room was very clean, and incredibly loud. It’s an old building, which meant you could hear the guests above you (rudely at 1am…) added to the street noise (which was unbelievable even with earphones) and the AC which wasn’t efficient, it made sleeping next to impossible. Great location, but won’t be coming back.

We had a great one night stay! The room was very nice and clean & the view was fantastic. Walking distance to Nobu, our favorite restaurant on our trip so far and Farm on the Malibu Pier has the best vegan wedge salad I've ever had. The staff was so nice, we had a great time.
