Beautiful hotel and location
Fantastic couple of nights stay. The hotel has been skillfully designed and has that home away from home feel. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful - nothing seems too much trouble. Be prepared to pay top dollar for cocktails, when combined with the views from the rooftop terrace (for hotel guests only), worth it. Only downside was the noise from the PCH (right in front of the property) but there isn't much the hotel can do about that!

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
No hot water to take a shower. Luke warm at best. No answer at desk to address. No cofee maker or coffe available on property that we could find. Ocean view was blocked completely by bushes. All you can hear are the cars not waves. Bed is bad design kept hitting legs on boards that stick out. Chairs on porch are hard asa a rock. No cushions. By far the worts hotel on thus trip

What a surprise this hotel was. Such a gem in Maibu .they give you a super cool car/ surf boards / wet suits . Staff were amazing - so friendly but not over the top so you feel like you’re staying in your own little place. Amazing attention to detail. Coifee brought to your room in the morning. Beautiful roof terrace with an amazing vibe and view. Would love to come back amd surf for a week!

Such a cute hotel that really paid attention to the little details! We really enjoyed our short time there. The rooftop area is awesome and a great place to get a drink, good food and great view of the ocean and pier. The location is walkable to about everything core to Malibu (Nobu, the pier).
