Shalini, Mar 2025
Pros (+) A wonderful gem on the pacific coast highway, right across from the Malibu Pier. Here for a concert 2 doors down, at Aviator Nation Dreamland. Enjoyed both rain and sunshine during our 2 night stay. Be aware the rooftop bar not open, but could still hang out and bring own food and drinks up there. It’s an amazing place to just chill and watch surfers. We had a ground floor room, which is nice, and...
Cons (-) Watch out if you leave any food sitting out in your room- ants will invade!

Pros (+) The room was very small and noisy. Despite double pane windows, the traffic on the main road was overwhelming.

Margaret, Jul 2024
Pros (+) Location was right off the highway which I didn't expect. Photos made it look like it was a little more secluded than it actually was. The entire property looks like a motel, which I didn't expect. Rooms were smaller than expected. BUT quality of room itself was very nice...staff was exceptional...food was very, very good. Rooftop experience was very very nice.
Cons (-) Nothing can be done about this point...but just realize that this isn't a remote beachfront retreat...it's right alongside the highway and on a tiny stamp of land, so you can't meander about. Still a great choice, all things considered. Simply, not a "resort" or a larger property like Laguna's Hideaway.
