Very luxurious property at a reasonable price. I was blown away by the closet space and the truffle fries from room service. I can't wait to come back again

Best money I’ve spent for the hospitality and service I received at the Huntley! Staff was amazing and from the moment we arrived we received the best service I’ve ever had at any hotel I’ve ever visited. The room was great and the beds and bedding was the most comfortable. Loved being able to walk to shopping, restaurants and the pier only a short distance. Highly recommend the Huntley!
