I had an awful experience with this hotel. My fiancé and I are long time Malibu residents and alumni of Pepperdine. University. We are getting married and decided to get a block of rooms at Malibu Beach Inn. The first rate they gave us for the block of rooms was the SAME rate as their AAA rate. When we came... more

Having stayed at the hotel 'on spec', whilst driving up US1, we didn't have the option of checking Tripadvisor prior to our stay. I am surprised by the negative reviews. This hotel is not cheap, but it does provide a great little romantic bolthole, right on the beach, with excellent service. It is small and cosy and has a small... more

We wanted to stay in Malibu for the weekend and looked at most of the options in the area. Though its website makes this hotel out to be some high-class option, it's corporate, snobby and soulless with little to recommend it, and the price would make your eyes water. The beach is rocky and not that nice. A little way... more

Only stayed one night, however, I really enjoyed this boutique option. The rate was not aggressive at all, and the room was an Oceanfront Queen. The Malibu Beach Inn had all the necessary amenities for a quick getaway stay. Food was great. Room very clean. Staff was welcoming. more

Worst hotel I've ever stayed in. THE WORST! This place is so! bad, my partner and I left in the middle of the night, and went to the Viceroy in Santa Monica. Even it's beach is bad. Go even half a mile in either direction and it gets so much better. I notice allot of the good reviews are written... more

A group of friends and myself rented 3 rooms for a reunion and holiday party. We had the party in one room, a suite. The party was in the suite from 8:30PM to 11:30PM. During the party, all of our credit cards and cash was stolen out of our purses - 3k total with all of the unauthorized charges by... more

We stayed for a few days early in May 2009 and wished we had booked for a longer period of time. Perfect location and a perfect hotel in every way. I can't think of any faults to raise and we will certainly be booking again for next year, extending our stay! more

To say that I'm a picky traveler is an understatement. I have been lucky enough to stay in some of the finest hotels in the world, and I'm hard to impress. Upon arriving at the Malibu Beach Inn, I felt like I was in the south of France, and not Malibu. There was an intimate bar area beyond check-in, and... more

I reviewed this hotel a year ago and at that time I thought the place was nice but definitely over-priced and did not deliver the service expected for the price charged. Now that our son is at Pepperdine we have found other places to stay but this trip was at the last minute and this was the only nearby hotel... more
