Pepperdine University

In 2008, I entered my freshman year at Pepperdine University. That year, one of my most beloved traditions began in the creation of what is now a #localgem of Malibu. Each September, Pepperdine University honors the men and women whose lives were lost on September 11, 2001 with the "Wave of Flags." One full size flag is flown for each individual who lost his or her life. They are represented by home country (which is hard to see in this picture as most were American). However, if you get a chance to walk through the flags, you'll notice flags from dozens of countries.

After days of triple digits summer heat in the desert, this sight of ocean in crystal blue was more than breathtaking.

Great stay! Check in involves a kiosk that connects you with a friendly person who helps you get a run down of the place, pay a deposit, and pay for parking. They’ll provide you a room # and door code. Door handle should be opened quickly after entering in the given code. Whoever books the accommodation should have a license or passport ready to scan. The rooms are smaller but had everything we needed for a nice stay. Beautiful interiors and very comfortable to sleep. Would definitely come back!

9/10 Wonderful! (1,742 reviews)
We were moved from one room to another due to a very loud wedding or party next door. Both rooms needed maintenance -night bulbs out, drains stopped up. The room was generally clean just worn. Sad to see such an iconic hotel this way! The courteous staff, lush vegetation and experiential cabana rooms will entice us to return again.

Great place for a short hike to the medicine wheel which is fun to see. Much cooler are all the rock formations that Are amazing to see. Best to go during the week as it is not so busy but if weekend is the only time then go early or late. Very busy :-)
