Hotel June Malibu

Not Chic and Cool. Cheaply done and cold. The lobby was fine. As we were checking in we were informed that we had to pay to park. There was no parking lot since the recent storm so we had to park in front of our room 1/2 way on the sidewalk. I thought the room was bad until I was FaceTiming a friend. She asked me if I was allowed to have a phone in jail. I told her I was in a hotel. She said it looks like a jail and I agree 100 percent. That was the perfect description. The dirty brass, filthy Venetian plaster, and the cement floors added to the jailhouse vibe. The road noise doesn’t help at all. The rooms are actually backed into the highway. It looks like the designer was going for a chic and cool beach pad feel. Instead it is cheap and cold. There are no real amenities in the room but a mini bar I paid $16.50 for chips and a coke. I wish we would have stayed over the hill in Calabasas.

Ugh Hello, We Spent this tri-annual malibu visit bouncing down the PCH hotel-wise because we had the time to do so. I challenged myself to a few reviews for the first time. Since I graduated Pepperdine years ago, it was the first time I wanted to make sure I had stayed at all the hotels. This place would’ve been ok for half the price. However, a security Camera looked right into what we anticipated to be our private outdoor area, @ $600 p/ night I was very uncomfortable given the circumstances. We met one Blonde employee working the front desk who was incredibly sweet.

Given that it is Malibu, cold and noisy are forgivable; fifty and run down are not. The bathroom door left me unwilling to touch it with my open palm so I used my foot or elbow; it was that unclean. Similarly, the rug was worn, matted and stained. The lack of any place to put luggage, other than on the floor, is not consonant with a place intended for travelers; really? The outdoor seating cushions were so soiled I wouldn't consider sitting on them. The plastic ***** under the shower door is moldy and the backsplash at the sink sported toothpaste and food particles from previous guests flossing. It was so unacceptable that we forfeited the money for the 2nd night, though we were told we might get a refund if they could resell the room and that in any case we would get 10% back. Never happened.

This place lacks most everything. The staff is unwelcoming and the room was like an unfinished garage. The price is utterly outrageous for what you get, which is not much. No view on busy Pacific Coast Highway. No real options for food. The only good thing I can say is they accept pets.

Stupidly I ignored the reviews and was suckered in by the clever photography on their website and booked 2 nights in the family room with bunk beds at $529 per night including breakfast (up to $20). Given the price point and the other fantastic hotels we have stayed in on our trip, I expected a good hotel room and breakfast for all 4 of us. The room was basic at best. There was no closet, drawers or safe. The room looked like an unfinished garage conversion waiting for someone to reattach the skirting board, regrout the sink and replace the extractor fan. The seats in the outside seating area were dirty and uninviting, there were hair grips from the previous occupant in the bathroom. The $20 breakfast was the total for all 4 of us and covered 2 pastries and a bottle of orange juice so we had to go out for breakfast. The $25 dollar charge for parking was laughable as it was at the end of a dirt track rather than a proper parking lot. There was also a health and wellness surcharge added to our bill which is not mentioned anywhere on any communication prior to checking out. This hotel is run by con artists - they fleece you for every $ and provide a very basic experience. AVOID AVOID AVOID!
