Huntley Santa Monica Beach

Great location Clean hotel with modern rooms. Don't like the fact that you can't use the mini bar to store your personal drinks. If you open the mini bar and move something around if you have to pay for.

Great hotel,super friendly staff. Perfect location. We had a 16th floor room with an incredible view. Didn't get to try penthouse restaurant but will next time -- went to the attached bar for happy hour twice. Great!

This hotel is a bit of an enigma - we had several good and bad experiences. First the good - well located about 10 mins walk from the beach and main street in Santa Monica. Rooms were of a really high standard (recently refurbished). The hotel offers "free" bikes within the resort charge (for first 2 hours) which is a useful way of getting to the beach etc. Just be aware the way back is a steep climb whether you are walking or cycling. Now the bad news - we had the misfortune of staying over a week-end when the hotel seems to turn into a party zone. The rooftop restaurant ("the Penthouse") is transformed into a trendy bar which attracts a lot of young and well oiled people who want to party. Two nights in a row we were awake for hours with the noise as the revellers returned to their rooms (shouting along the corridors) to continue with their partying. When I phoned down to reception to complain you could hear a war zone in the background (presumably those party animals who were leaving the roof-top bar). To be fair to the hotel they compensated us in the bill. We ate breakfast in the Penthouse and it was very good (but expensive compared to some other places) I would say a great hotel mid-week, but avoid at the week-end (unless you like a party!).

I have no idea why I had such a difficult time selecting a hotel for my stay with the boys last night. I made the right choice. This is a beautifully designed hotel, from the exterior, through the lobby, and into the guest rooms. The corridors are even beautiful. I work in hospitality as a design director so I'm a little more observant than most. Well done, Huntley, even with the challenging ceiling height in the lobby... Service was excellent, room clean, staff attentive and professional. Boys love room service so they selected Salmon and chicken fingers from the Penthouse menu, and finished every last bite. wish I had had more time at the property but CA is a big state and I only had time for one night. Kids would have liked a pool, but not a deal breaker. Highly recommend.

The Huntley hotel was a wonderful experience. The staff was excellent and The Huntley Hotel is perfect. The room was ideal - clean and bright with great views!. The hotel is located one block from the beautiful Santa Monica Beach. We highly recommend the hotel!
