The Huntley Hotel
5/5 Excellent
"Such a beautiful hotel. Our whole family enjoyed our stay. From the time of arrival, everyone was very friendly and service was excellent. Any request made was quickly answered. They had valet parking, free chauffeur and transportation within 3 miles of the hotel, a cute hot tub and lounge area, the penthouse restaurant on the top floor with delicious breakfast (didn’t try other meals bc we wanted to eat at other places but if we stayed longer, definitely would have done lunch and dinner there). The location is walkable to the beach, third ave promenade, restaurants. The rooms were pristine and had lovely amenities. Would stay here again anytime. "
