Yup, you read that headline right. This one's a motel in Malibu and there are actually quite a few of them along PCH. None of them are very good (and prone to loud traffic as you can guess from this picture) but they are cheap.

One of them is The Surfrider Beach Club, formerly the Malibu Shores Motel. The motel has two brief favorable reviews on TripAdvisor under its old name. But there is a more recent reivew on Yahoo! Local site. Rebecca wrote:

Surf's up at Surfrider!: Malibu Shores Motel is now Surfrider Beach Club; it has new carpet and paint, but the same tiny rooms are rented as unfurnished apartments. All the things you love and hate about staying at a motel-one price includes all utilities and cable is free, but the rooms are less than sound-proof and unreasonably over-priced.

There's also no website that we know of for Surfrider (not uncommon for these types of places) but the Wikitravel page for Malibu says:

"Located across from Surfrider Beach, this motel is more well-suited for families than most Malibu hotels."

So there you go. Pack up the kids and check it out. Call 310-456-6559 to book. TripAdvisor lists the average room rate as $119 a night. But if it's luxury that you are looking for, then consider the Malibu Beach Inn or befriending a movie mogul.
