“Beautiful Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

We visited Santa Monica over New Year's Weekend to attend the Rose Parade with Diamond Tours. This hotel is very nice. Only thing was it cost $30 a night for parking (we drove from Tennessee) and they charge for Internet, but I guess many hotels do. The service was great, room was gorgeous, bed very comfortable. It is a block from a beautiful ocean front park up on the bluff. Easy walk to the beach, Santa Monica Pier and Third Street Promenade and several restaurants. You MUST eat at the restaurant on the top floor. Spectacular views and the food is to die for. Enjoyed our stay immensely.

Room Tip: Try for ocean view

“Good location, but a little tired and cramped”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012

person found this review helpful

A very good location, just off the main drag so noise from the street is not bad but you are still close enough to all the shops and the beach. They kindly organised an early checkin for us when I booked online and said we'd arrive around 7am, which was a nice touch. Also helped with transport too.
2 adults and 2 kids in the one room, got two huge beds. But couldn't really open the closet door to put our suitcases in so for the week, they were spread around the room. For 2 people, room would be fine but for 4, rather cramped. Hallways were dark and carpet rumpled. Foyer was nice, Penthouse restaurant nice but pricey. Overall, good location but getting somewhat tired. Staff were nice and helpful ($30 per day for parking a bit much)

Room Tip: Others advise to get a room on a higher floor to avoid street noise - would certainly recommend for...

“Disappointed overall”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 January 2012
3
people found this review helpful

Pros: Location is excellent, beds are some of the most comfortable I've ever slept on, Stefan in the cafe' and the cafe' in general were lovely.
Cons: There is a bar on the roof that is very cool, but very loud for about 4 floors from the top and in the lobby and elevator. It also makes elevator use really frustratingly slow in the evenings. There is nowhere to sit and relax and talk other than in your room, especially in the evenings. Obnoxious bar patron screaming the "F___" word repeatedly one night in the Lobby until police removed him. The room is in need of renovation - ripped sheers, dirty windows, curtains had food stain on them, ottoman had food stain on it, wallpaper in bathroom, peeling, ripped and bubbling, tile in bathroom cracked, grout needs to be redone, mold at ceiling and in grout on shower floor, stains on carpet, outside paint cracked and peeling. Parking is an additional $30/day, no pool or hot tub.

Average rating for an above average price.

“Nice”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 January 2012

Have stayed at Huntley on business. It is a good location and a comfortable hotel with a 'no fuss' service. Good views don't come cheap.
