The location is beautiful and the property felt comfortable and like an oasis. The room was cute, clean, and smelled incredible. Coffee delivered to the room each morning was a lovely perk. I do wish the rooftop dining was fully open (they only had very limited pre-packaged options right now), but I understand they are getting back on their feet. I would absolutely stay there again.

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!

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

8/10 Style. Really nicely designed. 9/10 Views. Love the ocean, the pier and the logo. 9/10 Location. Just by the beach and pier. 10/10 Staff. Staff were very friendly and helpful. 2/10 WiFi. Slow WiFi and limited connection in the room. Had to roam in the bed. And WiFi to the TV was tardy. 1/10 Noise. Extremely loud from the highway outside. Heard every car and got the worst night sleep of the trip. I wish I had known this as I’m extra sensitive to sounds. 2/10 Value for money. Paid nearly $1000 for a night as they nearly doubled prices over the holidays. We got a lot more value for money at the hotels in e.g. Hollywood. Overall verdict: very nice hotel, but we are unlikely to stay here again as the noise levels impacted our sleep far too much.

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!

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!
