Malibu Beach Inn

Highly recommended.

We stayed one night in Malibu for my wife's birthday and were fortunate to get to stay at the Malibu beach inn. We had a very nice Queen room with an ocean view and small balcony. The entire staff was friendly and helpful. The room is small, but plenty of room for two. Easy access to the beach for a short stroll. The patio deck overlooking the ocean made for a nice nightcap next to the firepit. Everything is clean, and upscale but still has that beach casual feeling. We fell to sleep with the door to the balcony open and the sound of the surf hitting the beach.

Unexpected bliss

by TastefulTammy

We stayed in Malibu due to a business obligation, and we had no expectations about our lodgings beyond our standard of regular luxury hotels. I live in LA and I've always subscribed to the maxim about no good hotels west of Bundy. Well I have changed my mind indeed! Malibu Beach Inn is classy without being too formal. There is a harmonic beauty with the ocean that Frank Lloyd Wright could be newly inspired by.

It's modest to be sure, but it fits the vibe of a surf town's hospitality. The rooms are small, yet well appointed. The fireplace is a nice touch to walk into. The deck is a one of a kind amenity that isn't repeatable throughout the whole west coast of America. We both felt seasick... on land!... in a good way!

From the moment we checked in, Avi, at the front desk made sure we felt at home, escorting us to our room and suggesting a great!! restaurant (Bui Sushi) to printing our boarding passes on the way out, and Loren who knowledgeably helped us figure out the internet, we felt like it was a neighborly experience unlike the rest of regularly snootibly LA. On the way to dinner we stopped in the lobby restaurant for a drink. JD the bartender, while mixing a slightly bitter margarita, made up for it in sincere conversation. Also, we learned a lot about overpriced tequila. Good to know. Thanks JD! Over all, the Malibu Inn is trying hard to be the best spot in LA and I say thanks for the effort, lovey!

Malibu Beach Inn is the kind of place I want to go to in order to really feel like I'm chillin' at the beach.

Appearances are deceiving

I recently visited BOTH locations for Cure Spa. While the photos are beautiful and Malibu is a wonderful place, the staff and services at Cure Spa don't hit the mark by any stretch.

I had an esthetician, Jaqueline, while she was friendly, the service was definitely below par and wouldn't recommend.

Massage was average. Bottom line a complete disappointment and money not well spent. Hopefully Malibu Beach Inn will figure out that clients expect more when coming to Malibu.

Unbelievable Experience!

by jimdebbie2004

Everything was excellent, from our room, to the staff, right down to the food at the restaurant here at the hotel. This is a boutique hotel that has the best views overlooking the ocean of any hotel in Malibu. They even give you an IPod to keep in your room so that you can order room service, your vehicle from valet, food, dry cleaning, you name it. Anything you request, the staff will provide. All amazing people, right down to the turn down service at night with chocolate on your pillow.

The comments made by the individual in reference to the staff stealing, is absolutely unfair to this establishment, as he or she admitted to sharing along with had their doors open to six other rooms.

I cannot say enough about this hotel, other than if you want it all, this is the place!

• Pros: The best place to stay in Malibu
• Cons: None
