Motel 6 in Malibu from AU$117

"The house is basically right in the ocean. Waves crashing up against the house. The views are stunning. The house is directly on PCH so very busy. There is a lot of construction work on PCH that is disruptive. The house could use a little refresh as there are cracks and chipping paint. The oven does not work but there is a small counter oven if needed. The location is good, close to both Santa Monica and Malibu. The house is nicely decorated and the balcony is great. Overall we had a nice stay."

"We only stayed for one night but the room was absolutely adorable, very much unlike the larger hotel chains and more quaint. The view was beautiful and I especially loved our patio balcony. Would definitely some back and recommend."

"We booked Surf Rider based on the strong reviews, especially the repeated mentions of great hospitality-but unfortunately, our experience didn't reflect that at all. The rooms are extremely small, and the noise from PCH is constant and very loud, making it difticult to relax or sleep. I asked if there was any possibility of moving to a quieter room, but the only option offered was to pay an additional $450-$1000, which felt unreasonable. We were also staying here to celebrate my wife’s birthday, and there was no acknowledgment whatsoever—no small gesture or even a simple mention, which was disappointing given the hotel's reputation for hospitality. The front desk representative look at us like we had four heads when mentioned the celebration. Overall, for the price point, I expected a much more comfortable and thoughtful experience. This stay fell short. Very disappointed we chose this over the Malibu Beach Inn who actually provides a getaway experience reflective of the price point. There’s not a rogue one or a robe."

"It was a cute little get away. Pretty clean and friendly staff."

"Great place and great hosts made a great holiday!"

"I have enjoyed my stay. I have one constructive comment. Tuesday to Friday during my stay the property was working on the wooden decks and wood panelling. This meant that every day from 7 or 8 depending on the day to about 4 there were at least 2 is not 3 workman working right outside my unit. SA3. The gentlemen themselves were lovely, quiet and hard working, but there tasks, among other things involved, sanding and using a blower and a dryer, so quite noisy. As guests we should be warned or notified in advanced that this will happen. I still enjoyed my stay, but it was not tranquil, which is why a book a place right on the ocean. It was not good and although I understand a property needs to be main rained and the "season" is approaching, the inconvenience should have been communicated and reflected in some gratuity for my stay in my opinion beyond a 2 hour free late check out. Thanks. "
