The hotel

Retreat to this stylish hotel in a residential pocket of Santa Monica, yet just a shell's throw from the beach and Third Street Promenade. The Huntley is both classy and playful, with a modern urban design, and those little touches that make a difference — we all love a chocolate on the pillow at turndown. But perhaps the real wow factor at the hotel is The Penthouse restaurant and lounge, where both locals and guests come up to the rooftop to watch the sunset over the Ocean. With signature cocktails (and happy hour too), and bar food like cured meats and tacos, this one is definitely worth a visit.

The beds are exceptionally comfortable. The service is great. The food is good and some options show flare. Great views and people make you feel at home.

Spent 6 nights and was overall very disappointed. Gym was tiny, no space to use weights. Room was not the cleanest and shower drain was slow and then clogged completely. On 17th floor and restaurant noise above was very noisy in the evening. Requested to move rooms and new room had a shower drain that was not attached leaving an open drain (safety issue) notified housekeeper and front desk and it was never fixed. Ended up putting a towel over the hole ( I have pictures) Bellman and Valet service was prompt and courteous. Front desk not very helpful. Rooftop restaurant great view expensive and “meh” food. The hotel is decorated nicely and has a good location - but management needs to work on customer service if front desk and clearly engineering in ensuring bathrooms are safe and functioning. Spent a lot of money for subpar experience. Read less

Nice hotel with excellent service. The room was spacious, clean and the beds were comfortable and big. Worth paying extra to get a high floor room with sea view. Walking distance from Santa Monica pier and promenade but quite far from the rest of LA attractions. One notable thing is the excellent paid car service they provide through a third party. Ask for Chuck if you want a ride or even a private tour of LA. Read less

Loved our stay and looking forward to returning. The hotel is modern, stylish, quiet, and clean; the hotel staff are extremely friendly, and the location and amenities are great. It's my new favorite hotel.
