The hotel is well located; the beach and the main shopping promenade are quick walks. Rooms are bright, well lit, and a nicely sized. Bathroom is a bit small, but once you get into the shower you'll forget about that. Towels are thick. Loved the robe and slippers. The entire hotel is very clean and well cared for. Every employee is friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed our stay.

Dear CMUParent,

Our sincere appreciation for taking the time to write a positive review regarding our staff, product, location and amenities.

Our many loyal guests love our location, just 1 block walking distance from the popular 3rd Street Promenade, shops, restaurant, beach and iconic Santa Monica Pier. Yet situated on a very quiet neighborhood, away from the hectic busy main streets.

I will make sure to also share your wonderful review to all our dedicated Housekeeping staff for service excellence!

We look forward to your return, when your travels brings you back to sunny Santa Monica Beach!

Happy New Year!
Tim Lee

Beautiful hotel, great location! We had difficulty with checking-in (told room was to be ready in a 1/2 hour and it wasn't) and then once we got into the room, the thermostat wasn't working. They recognized how challenging it was for us to remain patient so as a recourse, they graciously offered us a different room and an additional one so that we could split into two groups (we'd been staying at hotels with our teens for more than a week...anyone would welcome a break after a week of prolonged eye-rolling). Our kids were more than happy to have the break from us, as were we from our little bunnies. It was a generous offer on the hotel's part and showed us how they like to run their establishment.

The rooms have beautiful finishes (including nespresso machines), the towels are lush, the bed is delicious, the toiletries are delightful, and we had a great breakfast at the restaurant. All told, we had an excellent experience for the Santa Monica part of our Southern California vacation.

I had never stayed in Santa Monica before last week and did considerable research and price comparisons on hotels in the area through a number of different sites. I could not have been happier with my decision to book at The Huntley Hotel.

The check-in experience was great -- staff from the valet to the front desk were extremely efficient and friendly. We received a much-appreciated complimentary upgrade to an ocean view room, which did not disappoint. The room was beautifully appointed, spotless, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The bathroom was clean, modern, and luxurious.

The Penthouse was a great happy hour spot with amazing views in a beautiful atmosphere. Service was friendly but a bit slow, but they were busy and looked to be a bit understaffed.

The hotel is in a great location, just a few blocks from the bars and restaurants near the promenade and an easy walk to the beach.

Given the number of similarly priced hotels in the area that didn't look as nice or weren't as highly reviewed, I would absolutely recommend the Huntley. You won't be disappointed!

The staff at this hotel are incredibly welcoming and helpful. The renovated rooms are beautiful and very well-appointed (make sure you ask for a renovated room as not all rooms have been updated yet) - beautiful grey and white color palette, spacious with couch seating area and a separate desk, large bathrooms with separate baths and large showers. Well-stocked mini bar, very comfortable beds and bedding. We had a fantastic view of the beach and ocean. Great location to walk to all that Santa Monica has to offer - easy access to Palisades Park and beach for morning walks.

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights from the 26th Dec - 28th Dec and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The hotel was beautiful, staff were very helpful and the room was great...spacious, clean & beautifully styled. The shower was absolute heaven...by far the best hotel shower we have ever stayed in across the world!! Thank you :)
