"This was my first stay in Malibu and at The Hotel June in Malibu and it was one of the best mini vacations I have had! The hotel was so cute and cozy. The rooms were clean and comfortable! They have small outdoor patios that were perfect for those who bring their dogs. They leave you a personal note wishing you a wonderful stay and the mini bar is stocked with lots of drinks and snacks! It’s a true hidden gem and the staff was amazing! Everything about my stay was beyond my expectations and I can’t wait to go back! Thank you to Nick and his team!!"

"Wonderful bougie boutique hotel with gorgeous views of the Malibu pier and surf break. Short walk next door to live music at popular AV Dreamland. The private rooftop deck is absolutely fantastic. We had other plans in Malibu, but could have just chilled at the resort the whole time. We will definitely stay there again."
