Amazing hotel with great location. Very clean and safe, with extremely friendly staff. I usually book 5 star hotels when traveling but due to the price of 5star hotels in the area, I went for Huntley and it didn’t disappoint. Makes me wonder why it’s not a 5 star hotel yet

The Georgian is a wonderful hotel.
Historic with lots of style.
Our suite overlooked the beach/ocean.
The sunsets were spectacular.
Also, the staff was fantastic.
FYI: Two brief negatives:
1 --- The common areas of the hotel were a bit worn … and seemingly, not cleaned on a daily basis.
2--- The elevator is old … and very slow.

I loved my quick trip to santa monica and greatly enjoyed the beauty of the shutters ocean view room with patio. Being able to see the ocean makes me feel closer to nature and i loved the decoration of this hotel including books to read and toys to play with in the room. We used a bike for an hour which was fun. The pool area is nice and very refreshing. Room service breakfast was very relaxing.

It’s a lovely hotel, there is a $55 a day resort fee, which you don’t learn about until check in. Great location, but it’s on a public beach, so public passes by all day and night, didn’t bother us, but I could see how some people would be annoyed by that.

The hotel was cute and the staff was very helpful.
They offer free coffee, tea and water all day, as well as wine and beer for a few hours in the evening. They also offer a free 3 mile shuttle until 8pm so you can enjoy dinner in downtown Santa Monica without having to worry about finding parking. The bakery in front of the hotel was delicious.
My husband and I have already talked about staying at this hotel again if we return to Santa Monica during our stay. Highly recommended.

This is our second time staying at Oceana. We have loved staying here both times. This is probably the best hotel to stay at when one is in Santa Monica. They have amazing service, spacious and clean suites, an onsite restaurant and bar that is very good, and a rooftop bar that has beautiful views of the ocean and where we enjoyed sunsets with good cocktails.

Really charming B&B in a lovely wood building with lots of character. Room was clean, comfortable and pretty and had a balcony sitting area. Well appointed bathroom. Very comfortable bed. Lovely wine and snacks in the afternoon and nice breakfast in the morning. Friendly and welcoming staff. Great amenities (bikes, beach towels, books, computer access, cookies in the room, beverages, etc. Location is very close to the beach and all the action in Santa Monica.

Fantastic little place with fun charm and vibe, and a great way to avoid staying in big, shiny, high rise hotels. Excellent service, great location just blocks to 3rd street promenade, Ocean Ave and hiking in the hills. We will definitely stay here again and again!

Just did one night as planned. Everything was clean. The bed was comfortable. Nice large patio area full of flowers a couple tables and chairs. Unfortunately our bedroom face the road so you could hear traffic during the night. They had two sets of earplugs you could use. You stay again but room towards the back.
