The hotel is clean, cozy, and in a great location. Breakfast was delicious with a beautiful view, and the staff was friendly. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay. The only downside was the noise — on both Friday and Saturday, I was woken up around 5 AM by loud conversations, kids running around, and banging sounds from neighboring rooms. The walls seem very thin; I could even hear two women discussing their moisturizing creams as if they were in my room. If you’re a light sleeper or hoping to sleep in past 7 AM, this might be an issue. Other than that, everything was perfect.

Loved our stay at the Huntley. Came for our 40th high school reunion (Samohi) and could not have felt more at home or more welcomed. The beds are great the sheets are great the staff - from reception to valet are truly happy to be there and to assist. The hotel is clean and updated. The room view could not be surpassed. First time in a long time where I have been pleasantly surprised by a hotel/resort stay. Not for those looking for a pool or larger property. But who needs that when the city of SM offers the beach, shopping, and entertainment. Check out Lunetta’s for the very best dining in town. Just a short uber away. Master Chef Raphael Lunetta has once again nailed the ambience and flavors that hat please the soul.
