"This property has a wonderful indoor rooftop bar and restaurant that is worth a visit. The hotel itself is not. Overpriced as their 'suite' is basically a barely larger room than normal with just a small sitting area. I am not sure how they can call that a suite. Their front desk service for checking in and out is like from the 90s. Each person takes ten minutes and there is always a line. Lastly, shockingly they limit the AC in the rooms. I was there when it was 95-100 degrees outside and having the room not be able to get cool is unacceptable for the price you are paying. I called and the front desk said basically 'we don't care'. Even the downstairs lobby was hot all the time, particularly noticable when you are standing in line waiting to check in and out. It was really a poor experience for supposedly such a high end property at a price that matches."

"August in Los Angeles is HOT. Santa Monica offers respite with ocean views. It is also awash with awesome architecture. The Huntley is in one of those buildings built in 1966 and recently remodeled "with a glamorous, design-forward '70s lounge culture aesthetic by Thomas Schoos." I loved the lobby. Our room was lovely, view great and beds comfortable. The walk-in closet was a great feature. Bathroom was small but well designed. Coffee and water seemed to be complimentary but do not touch the beautiful treat and minibar fridge unless you are wishing to splurge. It could be worth it, but the print explaining how it works is very small. We ate at the Penthouse and it was excellent. I also ate there for breakfast, and I loved the morning views. Service and food perfect. The location is perfect. It is a block off of Ocean and sort of behind the Fairmont Hotel. This puts it an easy walking distance from the hustle and bustle of the pier, but separate and quiet. There is access to the beach from the Palisades Park on Ocean Ave. The Park has a paved walkway, lovely landscaping and spectacular views of the ocean. It is well policed. There are many interesting restaurants. There is good public transportation as well as rideshare."

"TV did not work - took 2 hours to get anyone up to fix it Toilet did not flush and stopped working Checked out early because of issues I recommend the Penthouse restaurant (excellent) but don't stay here if you have a choice."

"I’ve stayed at The Huntley now 3 times and I’m not sure what to compliment first about this hotel. Location is awesome and the rooms are spotless, decor is stylish and the rooftop restaurant has THE BEST views along with great food. What truly sets this hotel apart, however, is the staff. They are incredibly attentive, friendly, and genuinely make you feel well taken care of throughout your stay. The Huntley offers all the amenities you'd expect from a major hotel brand, combined with the personalized service and warmth that usually only comes from a family-run property. I LOVE it there."

"I have stayed at the Huntley many times for business, staff, rooms, valet and view have consistently been great. The gym is a little small, so it can be hard to find room."
