I was apprehensive about staying at the Malibu Beach Inn but realized that the things people complained about in the reviews were not an issue for me. This is a great place to stay if you have transportation, don’t eat at hotel restaurants, notify MBI in advance of special occasions so they can plan accordingly, plan your own travel itinerary,... more

We were a little concerned about staying here at first (after reading some of the reviews) but decided to go ahead and book it anyway. We have to say , from our experience, we are soooo glad we did stay here! The room was very nice, had an absolutely wonderful oceanview as well as the PCH. We loved laying in... more

This hotel is in an unbeatable location in Malibu and is one of very few hotels in the Malibu area. Unfortunately, the service leaves something to be desired. I had major problems with the internet connection, there is no wireless in the rooms (only in public spaces--unacceptable for a new hotel of this caliber), our minibar was not fully stocked... more

A group of friends and myself rented 3 rooms for a reunion and holiday party. We had the party in one room, a suite. The party was in the suite from 8:30PM to 11:30PM. During the party, all of our credit cards and cash was stolen out of our purses - 3k total with all of the unauthorized charges by... more

The night of my 30th birthday my boyfriend surprised me with a lovely dinner in Santa Monica and an overnight stay at the Malibu Beach Inn. He surprised me even further by proposing that night on the beach directly below our hotel room. I was glowing as we checked out...til I had a quick peek at the bill. It was... more

I only hope people who read this review and all the previous terrible reviews of this place take heed and LISTEN! The beach is disgusting, it is rated as one of the most unclean in california, swim in it if you want to catch a life threatening disease. At high tide there is no beach so forget about taking a... more

My wife & I stayed there for New Years Eve for just one night and had numerous problems. When I first called the hotel, they offered me a package for the night...room and a special New Years Eve dinner. When I called the restaurant the next day to give them a time that we would want to be seated, they... more

It's hard to beat a newly renovated luxury hotel, in Malibu, inches from the Pacific Ocean. Every room has an ocean view. We had an oceanFRONT room (faces the ocean directly) on the third floor. The glass-view balcony just couldn't have been nicer, and you just can't get any closer to the water. The room was beautifully decorated and very... more

Avoid this place, if you want a nice holiday! I have stay at the Malibu Beach Inn this August, during our one week holiday, coming over with my wife from Europe. Looking for beach and sun and a nice place, paid $1,200 for a night for best room with fireplace. After their renovation, the design and build is great, and... more
