Pros:

Great budget friendly accommodation. The room was nicely appointed and had everything we expected. Staff were extremely helpful and keen for us to have a pleasant day. Shops and restaurants within easy walking distance all be it along a busy road. the beach was also a fairly modest walk away. Served our purposes perfectly.

Pros:

Check-in process was terrible. No one on site at the stated check in time. A man drove in and came in for check-in at 3:20. He mumbled something, handed me a form to sign, and pushed a physical key to me. I started to ask a question when he stopped me, pushed another paper to me and said read this first. I almost canceled and walked out.

Pros:

There were cob webs everywhere, we found spiders throughout the room. Marks on the walls, paint chipped. The bed was nice and we slept well. Its a place to just have an over nighter.

Great stay at the Country Inn
Pros:

What an adorable well located hotel. Very cottage like with a private patio. The only thing I would suggest is that they add dead bolts or a way to lock the patio doors.

Avoid
Pros:

Place is not as advertised on their web site or on Hotels.com. No one at hotel when we went to check in. We walked the property..very worn out…abandoned restaurant on site..dilapidated deck and furniture. Hotel clerk lied to Hotel.com rep saying they were there the. Admitted at lunch. Look at photos on Yelp… recommended avoiding this place.

Pros:

Disappointed that it looks different than online photos.
Location is a bit removed from hustle of
Malibu.
Walk to Zuma beach but on a paved road.
A little PCH road noise.

Pros:

This hotel is in a great location. But the property isn’t well maintained or updated. Upon arriving the bed frame was broken (front desk guy said he would fix it and give me 50% off for my first night, he fixed it, but he never gave the 50% off). I killed 3 daddy long leg spiders in the bathroom. Also the bathroom fan didn’t work. Nice walk to Zumba beach though.

One Night Stay
Pros:

Location is next door to PCH. Convenient yet a tad noisy during the rush hours. Location is also walking distance to Zume(a) beach. Great place for a morning, day or evening walk along beach. A few good restaurants, and amenities near by. Staff were accommodating and helpful.

Pros:

Overall was a good place for its location… but the rooms need more than paint. It seems like they have tried to fix the rooms but not finished maybe … the outside out the room is dirty with a lot of spiders webs… towels and bedsheets were clean but the floor was not good… peaceful and not a great parking space… overall it was an ok experience

Location is perfect because it is near the beach. The place is very basic and had everything I needed for one night. Bed was comfortable and area is quiet.

Pros:

You can tell the property is a little older, but it’s well kept and very clean. The parking can get tricky when it’s full because of the steep incline and parking stalls, but I recommend this hotel. I’ll be staying there often as my daughter goes to college.

Pros:

Raheem was absolutely amazing during our stay—he handled every crisis with care and made us feel well taken care of, which we truly appreciated.

That said, there were some challenges. The blackouts happened often—most of the time, in fact—and I was surprised the hotel didn’t have a backup generator for emergencies. The room also had ants, and I was bitten for two days straight. The sheets were dirty and even ripped, and there were no chargers available with very few outlets for phones. While the property itself is quaint and has a certain charm, it doesn’t feel well maintained.

I had a suite with a patio, which could have been a highlight, but it hadn’t been hosed down before I arrived, which took away from the experience.

Overall, the service from Raheem was wonderful, but the upkeep and amenities of the hotel left a lot to be desired.

Pros:

We loved our stay there. They were extremely accommodating and allowed us in our room a little earlier so we can get ready for our friends wedding. The suite room was surprisingly large (especially for LA standards).I wish we had a longer stay so we could enjoy the amenities and the beach.
