My room was too cold, the heater was too difficult to use BUT the food made up for freezing. Hats off to the chef[s] for spectacular plating and perfect toast.

Awesome location, proximity to Malibu Beaches. Unique, with great subtle touches. Way nicer than your average cookie cutter hotel. We will definitely go back. Only minus was view from first floor rooms is a hedge.

A lovely boutique hotel provided beach bag towels daily coffee service. Very quaint walking distance to to Malibu pier and beach. Amazing roof top views with excellent cocktails and dining. Service could be better on the roof top but overall a beautiful property will definitely visit again.
