The place is awesome. Truly breathtaking views and the perfect way to end our hectic few weeks in Southern California. If you're wanting to visit/stay/spend most of your time in LA - this place isn't for you. It will take an hour plus to get. Santa Monica probably 45 minutes on a good day. But if you just want to chill out and enjoy Malibu and the surrounding area, perhaps venturing into LA for the day, then its absolutely perfect. The drive is... 'interesting' - take it slowly! Deborah lovely and met us at check in, showing us around the room. I did go for a run in the canyons below and came across a rattle snake - so keep an eye out!! All in all - perfect and will return.
