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.

Its not a BAD hotel, its fine for a night or two, but given the cost, its extortionate for what you get. Of all the hotels we stayed in on our road trip through California, this was our least favourite. The room was pretty enough but really quite small and shower wasn't great - it was OK but not GREAT. The hairdryer in the room looked ancient and was kind of peeling. Bed was comfy though. Breakfast was OK, but we didn't get a window seat and the table rocked and wobbled. The waitress said she would bring something to correct it but she didn't. Oh well. I just felt that it was all about the aesthetic and not about actually being comfy. Read less

We enjoyed this hotel which was part of a Rose Bowl Parade package we chose via a sepearate tour operator. The hotel is perfectly located away from the hustle and bustle of Santa Monica yet close to everything -- easy walk to the beach, the pier and many great dining options. The Penthouse bar/restaurant has an exceptional view of the Santa Monica mountains and surrounding area and a very nice vibe. Our room was clean and modern .... plus a very comfortable mattress. We would stay here again. Read less
