What is the difference between a 3-star hotel and a motel in Malibu?

A motel is an excellent choice if you're getting ready to road-trip around Malibu. These escapes are typically located near airports and major roads, offer ample parking and have basic amenities and services. Stay at a 3-star hotel and you'll be more centrally located. With a larger choice of rooms and additional conveniences such as a fitness center, lobby and meeting rooms, you can expect to pay more for hotel lodgings.
