Top Western Malibu Hotel Reviews

Ocean View Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location and the staff are super helpful and friendly. Even though it’s on the main strip, noise levels inside the room were fine."

Palm Garden Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed here with my partner just for one night and we'll definitely be coming back in the future. Hotels nowadays are so run down, poorly maintained, and overpriced. This hotel was affordable, modern, clean, and surprisingly quiet given the location next to the 101 highway and how many cars were in the back parking lot. Front desk staff were friendly and accomodating. I appreciated the fact that they let my partner and I keep both our cars in the lot without charging anything extra. I don't know that we had any neighbors above, below, or adjacent but we didn't even hear anyone. Our room was perfect! My partner and I agreed that the bed and pillows were very comfortable and everything felt clean. Bathroom was beautiful and the toiletries worked for us. Mini fridge had adequate room for my dinner leftovers. The air conditioning unit is a little loud, but not nearly as loud as some hotels/motels I've been to where it literally wakes you up. We liked the couch and table; the room was properly furnished. The towels are a little thin, but it didn't really matter to me given that everything else was so on point and comfortable for me. We literally just slept in the room for the night so I can't write a review about any other hotel amenities (ice machine, pool, restaurant, etc.)."

The Huntley Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is excellent in every respect and sits in a perfect location to enjoy Santa Monica. The staff were friendly and professional. The restaurant on the 17th floor has really good food and drinks as well as beautiful views of the beach and and the city. Room service menu is also very good. My wife and loved it."

The Pierside Santa Monica

8/10 Good

"The hotel location is excellent, close to the Santa Monica Pier, beach & the 3rd Street Promenade. Rooms were clean and well maintained. Staff in the restaurant for breakfast were very friendly and kind. For parking, there are several options nearby, including one across the road, while we used the Civic Centre Parking Structure nearby. We did message the hotel both before and after the trip on queries, but no-one replied, although they like sending automated messages to you. Overall, good."
