Top Central Malibu Hotel Reviews

Grand Vista Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean rooms, good location near to the freeway good food and nice staff 👌"

The Sojourn Los Angeles - Sherman Oaks

8/10 Good

"This was a cute place to stay. I did not use the pool (wanted to but didn't have time) and did not get up in time for the breakfast, so I can't speak to those. It's clear the people who renovated this motel went for both style and authenticity and it was well done. The guy at the desk when we first arrived was very nice and graciously accommodated my request to switch rooms to try to find a firmer bed. He also brought us, unasked, two bottles of cold water when we switched rooms, which was also much appreciated because we were worn out from the drive and from lugging our stuff around. Quality service from a motel. Very nice, low-key, friendly guy. The rest of my review is to point out things other visitors should know. This place can be a little hard to find. It's sandwiched between two much larger buildings, so it can come up on you fast. The beds could be a little firmer. I have back problems so usually need a firmer mattress. Electrical has not been updated, but an extension cord did provide what I needed to run my bedside C-PAP/BiPAP machine. Note that bathrooms do not have a fan. Historically accurate, but you have to open a window to air it out. It would be good if the motel could put drapes or blinds of some kind that could be closed over the window when in use, as the buildings next to it have higher windows that can see into the bathroom! It's vintage, so heads up that it's small on space. $11/night parking fee is standard but greedy. Otherwise, nice place."

Air Venice on the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"I gave high marks due mainly to locale and helpfulness of staff. The facility itself is a bit dated, but VERY close to the beach: I could literally wake up, go downstairs, and walk out on to Venice Beach. PERFECT!! The scenery was beyond imagination! 😍 We had a partial view of ocean, and a full view north facing Santa Monica and the Pier from our room."
