Terrible Experience at The Huntley

This is the worst hotel I’ve stayed at in a very long time. The bathroom smelled like sulfur the whole time. The valet was rude and not prompt. They took over 20 mins to get my car brought to the front. When the valet was rude I tried to contact the manager of the hotel and left a voicemail just to ensure no guest goes through the rudeness I experienced and no one gave me a call back which was super disappointing.

everything was very nice. The welcome from the staff and check in was great. But when i got to my room - it seemed as if we received the lesser version of a room … the toilet was crooked (there was no stand it was on the wall and at slant) and the recess lighting in the bathroom was hanging a little bit. Overall it is a very nice property, professional staff, and beautiful area

Great property on quiet street but just a few blocks to the Pier and other Santa Monica action. Our first room was a bit noisy due to street construction so we moved to a different room the second night and everything was perfect. Super friendly staff at check-in and valet. Rooftop restaurant is an amazing place to watch sunset!

You cannot ask for a better or more attentive staff at The Huntley , everything you need is just steps away . You are surrounded by incredible food options , fantastic walking options and fantastic shopping. Don’t forget to ascend to The Penthouse restaurant in the glass elevator , the view of the Santa Monica Coast is just fantastic 👍

The Huntley just knows how to make you feel special. The service from the moment you arrive is perfection , and bonus points for having one of the best restaurants In LA right on their Penthouse level. The walk along the ocean early in the morning , or a stroll down 3rd street promenade are just a few easy steps out the door, and don’t miss the fantastic Farmers Market on Saturdays with an array of the freshest fruits / vegetables and flowers around. Perfect stay … again !

We had an issue with the toilet and sink making loud noises all night. Informed the manager and no action was taken. We checked out early and left the hotel. Also parking was 68 a night. Jacuzzi and very small. Lots of homeless people outside the hotel.
