If you were to stay in a motel in Malibu, the easy-to-remember Malibu Motel might be your best choice.

Partially-rebranded as The M, the motel promises 18 clean, retro-styled  rooms near the Malibu Pier and Surfrider Beach. The rooms even sport plasma TVs, refrigerators, 400-thread count bed linens, and private ocean decks. How do we know all this? Because thankfully, the M has a website. Wahoo!

One guest on Flickr writes:

The view from the M, Malibu Motel. Given, its not the best view, this roadside motel has to be one of the favorite places I have ever stayed. Simple, clean, very courteous staff and very affordable.

However, guests over at TripAdvisor have had severely mixed experiences at the motel. And judging from the photo (above) it's nothing to get too excited about.

Bottom line is just remember this is a motel off the busy Pacific Coast Highway, despite the fact that it's in Malibu and the beach is like 20 feet away. Room rates range from $119 to $219 plus Malibu city tax.
