Fabulous property with one exception - a world class bar and restaurant on the rooftop that closes at… 9:45pm on weeknights!?! Missed opportunity by the property, otherwise excellent.

The room was built so that there is a gap between the bathroom and bedroom wall. You can hear EVERYTHING that happens in the bathroom with the loudest, surprising toilet flush. Also the hot tub area was dinky and across the valet parking entrance, so very inconvenient and strange. The actual hot tub was not clean. Our bathing suits needed several cleanings.

It was close to the beach and the roof top restaurant was great views.
There was no real pool area or outside lounge. It was ground floor and very small

The best customer service and attention to detail in all of my hotel stays. Daniel at the front desk was excellent! The staff who got our rental on a daily basis were great. The cleaning staff was awesome and upstairs restaurant staff at The Penthouse restaurant were spectacular.
If you’re going to stay in Santa Monica I highly recommend staying at the Huntley Hotel!

Hotel is not family-oriented:

Best money I’ve spent for the hospitality and service I received at the Huntley! Staff was amazing and from the moment we arrived we received the best service I’ve ever had at any hotel I’ve ever visited. The room was great and the beds and bedding was the most comfortable.
Loved being able to walk to shopping, restaurants and the pier only a short distance. Highly recommend the Huntley!
