“Don't Stay Here”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 May 2008
4
people found this review helpful

Don't stay here if you value your health or safety. I was looking for an inexpensive place to stay on a fishing trip to the coast. The Malibu's website made it look tolerable, so I booked my room. Let's just say that the website pictures must be from some other hotel, because they sure weren't taken in my room. Dirty, large holes and cracks all the way through the walls, doors didn't lock (I pushed the only table in front of the door at night). No phone, no TV, no refrigerator, no kitchenette, and AC barely worked. Best of all - my neighbors had a big screaming drunken fight all night long. Next time down I'll sleep in my car on the beach.

“Slimy... yet satisfying!”

This is my favorite place to stay in Port A. I attached a picture of me doing my favorite thing at this motel... if you plan on staying here... bring plenty of bud light to help you adjust to the lack of all things nice.
