Villa Graziadio Executive Center at Pepperdine University

8/10 Good
"All was nice and clean. The room especially pretty. If there is an outdoor dinner party you can hear it and they can see you on the balcony. The view is incredible. There is a lovely Hero’s Memorial that is peaceful and worth looking at and sitting to enjoy the view. "
