Overall, this was a big disappointment. I can't believe any of the good reviews on this site. It seems like the hotel wrote them. The food was horrible and super expensive. I stayed at the old Malibu Inn and it was so cozy and the management were so nice and welcoming. This hotel is too "precious" and there was a stench of sewage. We checked out and went to a hotel across the street.
Simply out, do not stay here. While we were out of our rooms but on the property, someone used a key to break and enter into our rooms and stole all of our cash and credit cards. 3k total. The manager was a bully and he was terrible - when I asked for a make good and reimbursement he said - "NO, stay somewhere else next time" ...
We had a perfectly romantic stay at the Malibu Beach Inn. The room was awesome! We had a view of the ocean from our room and the hot tub on our balcony! My husband had secretely ordered the Romance Package and we had gone to a concert and when we returned the bed was turned down for us and covered in rose petals and a bottle of wine was chilling ...

Great little hotel; reservations are difficult to get
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/20/06
Location and value. The only complaint that I have is that reservations are difficult to get no matter when I try. The rooms were not too sound proof; I had noisy neighbors and had to call the front desk a couple of times.

AWESOME HOTEL!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/30/06
If you are looking for the most wonderful getaway in Malibu, this is the best hotel to experience that! I stayed only one night, but it was a truly breathtaking stay. The rooms are very nice and the view makes them even nicer!! I would recommend this hotel any day of the week, it's truly spectacular!
This is one of my favorite places to stay...The location is excellent with it being in the middle of Malibu. You have lots of things nearby with Cross Creek, and great restaurants. The beach is a little small and non existant at High Tide, but there isn't a whole lot one can do about that. The chair rental/umbrella rental is really reasonable ...

Excellent Romantic Stay
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/02/06
All the reviews are right on. This place is amazing, right on the water, with an excellent staff. The valet greated us with umbrellas and escorted us into the hotel.
However the "jacuzzis" are the kind you buy at Costco for a few hundred dollars. The place is pricey, but if you see what you are getting, it is worth it.
Very ...

Malibu Beach Inn --- a great place...except for the screaming kids! :)
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/26/05
Malibu Beach Inn is a wonderful, warm, nurturing hotel. The service is excellent, the decor soothing, and the location prime. My own complaint is that the management allowed a young boy (about 10 years old) to completely disrupt the peace and quiet the first morning of our stay there, starting at about 8:30 a.m. His noisemaking was right outside ...

Can't get more "on the beach"
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/19/05
I've never been to a hotel that is closer to the water. Only LA hotel with a south of the border feel. Also, great rooms and a staff that is more helpful and knowledgable than I've ever experienced. A bit expensive, but you get what you pay for. Thanks, Malibu Beach Inn for making my stay relaxing and wonderfully pleasant.
