The Huntley Hotel - Santa Monica

Très bon hotel qualité prix,proche de tout.

The Huntley Hotel was perfect for our stay. Gorgeous design and a killer penthouse bar at the top of the hotel which is great for sunset. The front desk staff was a bit rude but I expect some of that in LA. I would definitely stay here again.

decent hotel but no real lobby. Current lobby is like a modern museum. Never used. Looks nice but wasted space. Need a nice lobby and lobby bar. Bar on top floor is nice. Restaurant is good not great and prices are a bit high for what you get. Not great beach access and the beach towels you get are terrible! Also, bikes should be free for guests. Rooms fine and beds comfy. overall lacked comfortable common area/ lounge. Seems like they are trying to be "hipper" than they are. Staff was very good.

Stood in line for one of two very small and crowded elevators after checking in. Wondered what would happen in the event of fire. While unpacking I discovered that one could not open the closet and the bathroom at the same time. The open door of one prevented the opening of the door to the other. I was alone, but did wonder how my wife might have reacted to being shut out of the bathroom while I was in the closet. Discovered that there was no coffee maker or mini-bar in the room, so no caffeine jitters in the morning. Also, no towel racks in the bathroom, just a wicker basket of towels on the floor next to the toilet. I had to remember during the night to be extra careful with my aim so as not to hit the towel basket. Did wonder what would happen in the event of shower (no bathtub) overflow or toilet overflow. Another advantage was the soundproofing, or lack thereof. Starting about 5:00 a.m. a baby in the room next door started to cry. Because of the thin walls, I could hear everything. This is good, because if there had been a fire, I would have had no difficulty hearing the alarm. It did interfere with my sleep, but that's a minor concern. All in all, not a bad deal for a small room for a mere $565.00 per night. However, I do wonder if a $79.97 room at the Motel 6 would have had a coffee maker.

a few minor "hic-ups" from hotel.com and hotel end that impacted our stay. we weren't able to check in until ~5pm and were coming off beach. hotel gave us 50$ credit to restaurant while waiting to enjoy the gorgeous PH restaurant. The room description described sunken tub, we only had a shower..also primier ocean view shouldn't be considered ocean front view. we had a nice view but I think I expected to be in front of building, which now believe are the suite locations. The final issue was cable went out at 1am for 1.5 hour and we came back from the bars early to relax and watch movie. eventually was fixed (hotel gave another 50$ credit). hotels.com gave 100$ credit. I hate complaining, but paying what I think is premium price ($500+) you shouldn't have your stay Impacted with minor issues. overall, staff was great, very pleasant and apologetic. the place is really nice and I would recommend this place. I think I would stay here again as I feel they dealt with everything very professionally and compensation was appropriate for the issues.
