Now the rooftop area is very nice. The whole reason I stay at the Surfrider is for the rooftop. Food and drinks are all very good. This trip I had an issue with the room. It always has a very nice scent but it smelled like it was covering something up. It was more musty and heavy than previous trips. We noticed the curtains were water damaged and stained. If I was staying more than the one night, I would've made a bigger deal about it.
Maybe the source of the smell in our room.
Best view in Malibu.
Drinks on the rooftop. Endless summer is a good one to try.

The room was great, nice and clean and comfortable. The upstairs bar/restaurant was very cozy n nice. Only problem was the weather. It was very cold on our night but that’s not the hotel‘s fault. Just happened to be extra cold. The parking situation is very tight, but I guess there’s nothing they can do about that with limited space. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good, but was kind of cold when we got it probably cause it was so cold in the morning otherwise we had a wonderful day. Would stay there again.
