A 3 star hotel more expensive than an 5 stars hotel in CA

The location of this hotel was fantastic! My husband and I enjoyed the room and all the amenities. Definitely coming back as it was everything we had hoped for!

book online for my family member and worked great and easy!

Had a great 5 nite stay. I really enjoyed all the personal touches. 5 star all the way.

This place is so random in terms of service. My husband and I have been coming here for years, and overall the pros outweigh the cons. Yes staff can be needlessly snobby, but the very same staff can be friendly and helpful on a different day. Why? Beats me! The service is inconsistent, but the oceanfront rooms can’t be beat. The beds are nice and have great Frette sheets, nice quality towels and robes and slippers. Mediocre toiletries but we bring our own. The restaurant and room service are also inconsistent quality: the same dishes we always order are great one night and just mediocre or worse another. Is it expensive? Obviously, but that’s Malibu.There is no other hotel in Malibu that goes directly out onto the beach besides Nobu(which is even more expensive and has obnoxious club music blasting on the weekends). These two hotels pretty much have a monopoly and thus prices stay astronomically high. Because this stretch of Malibu is so safe, lots of folks come here with their very loud children. There are no private beaches in the state of California by law, (see: California Coastal Act) any claims of a private beach are false, therefore the loud screams of children frolicking on the “private” Carbon Beach right below your beautiful ocean view room will continue indefinitely.TL;DR: Beware randomly snobby staff, hit or miss food, indifferent service, screaming children on the beach, stay for gorgeous views and relaxing rooms.

Even better than pictures online! Exceptional staff, location, beachfront.. I can not recommend enough! Wonderful for families as well as romantic getaways! The only reason I scui'll come back to CA but next time I want to bring my husband vs. my son. I fell in love with the privacy, hospitality, location, views and beaches.

Charming hotel with unbeatable beach access. Staff was very gracious and helpful. Especially Joe

Wow! The absolute best customer service! The staff was amazing and so accommodating! They really know how to take care of their guests and make you feel special! The hotel was very clean and right on the beach. You can dine on patio as you look out on the water. The room was beautiful, great bed, great shower and nice pull out bed for more people. Private patio is perfect for morning coffee or late night star gazing. Valet parking is the only option to park at hotel but worth it! You will not be disappointed with this beachfront hotel! I highly recommend it.

Everything was really great EXCEPT the wait staff in the restaurant was sub par.

Amazing hotel on the beach. Facilities and staff top class! Couldn’t imagine anything much better anywhere in the world!

Best Hotel ever! Beachfront is absolutely a MUST! Very romantic setting. I won't know when I'll back, but I definitely will be!

On the beach, amazing views, great food. I hope I get to go back again someday. Loved this place!

NICE OVERNIGHT STAY WITH THE KIDS TO EXPERIENCE SOME BEACH TIME WHILE VISITING FROM AUSTRALIA.

Beautiful hotel on a beautiful beach. We had a great time! All staff were so friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back!

Have stayed multiple times in the last 2 years. Valet, restaurant, housekeeping staff were excellent. The front desk staff, at both check in and check out, were extremely disappointing — they seemed indifferent and uninterested in helping us, and were unaware that we were frequent returning guests. I’m still waiting for my final bill to be emailed to me as promised. The Malibu Beach Inn is an outstanding property, but the poor front desk service is unacceptable. Not sure we’ll be back again.

Great on the beach view from our room

From the moment we pulled into the drive we were looked after. This little gem of a hotel is wonder. We didn’t want to leave.

I had stayed here when it first opened. Loved it then and still do! Deluxe accommodations in a great location. Staff bends over backwards. We also had the best deep tissue massages of our lives there

Great ocean front room. Enjoyed walking on the beach in the am.

Great stay - beautiful location on the beach. Updated rooms. Engaging staff and excellent bar tender (thanks Matt). Too short of a visit but enjoyed our evening.

Outstanding hotel! Couldn't get any closer to the beach. Service was excellent. The one negative was the construction going on in front obstructed the driveway, but the valet parking was helpful.

The Malibu Beach Inn was by far the most fantastic hotel I have every stayed at. The service was impeccable and the entire staff from the valet, waitresses, beach boys, check in were the kindest most helpful I personally have ever met.

My husband and I stayed here for the weekend prior to a busy week of work in the Burbank area! We had had a busy start to the year and this was an opportunity to rest and refresh!

We had a wonderful stay at the Malibu Beach Inn Hotel. Hotel service was excellent. Food was good and there are plenty of other restaurant options near there the hotel.

Best place in Malibu!!
