My husband and I stayed at the Malibu Motel during our California honeymoon. After driving in from San Francisco, we were very tired and found the Motel easily. After a quick check-in with the very polite hostess, we were so glad to see a very clean room, large spotless restroom, and our super comfortable king size bed. We were also excited to see that we were in very short walking distance (we’re New Yorkers and hate driving) to get a pizza for dinner, and some beer at the well maintained liquor store – which we quietly enjoyed on our private patio deck, while overlooking the illuminating pool. Lovely. The bed was super comfy and we had a great night’s sleep.
In the morning walked over to that same plaza grabbed some breakfast, walked up the path just behind the Motel – and enjoyed an ocean view meal. The person at the front desk was very helpful in providing us with a very handy map, answered all our beach questions and gave us a lot of helpful tips. We jumped in the car in minutes we were at Zuma beach. After doing a lot of online research, The Malibu Motel is by far the most affordable accommodations in the area. Yes, it lacks the additional amenities you might find at a large upscale hotel – so if that’s what you are looking for, then stay at an upscale hotel. If you are looking for spacious, clean, comfortable, affordable and convenient place to stay in Malibu then book now! We’ve just booked our second trip there.
