The best way to describe the Huntley hotel is a pig with lipstick. They have done sort of gaudy and digital renovation on top of a dirty and dilapidated hotel. The staff is incredibly rude (The front desk staff and especially the evening shift ones). Rooms have sensor-loaded snack trays and fridge and if you accidentally remove or even shift or knock over an item (for example, a water bottle off balance), they will automatically charge you. No water in the room or anywhere in the hotel to fill up your water bottles. No fridge to put your food, drinks or meds (you have to ask them to bring it to you). You'll pay $60 for parking with valet - the only available option. It is common for the hotels in this area to have steep mandatory valet parking and Huntley tops the list. The tiny hot tub was actually cold and never heated. Too many chemicals made it stinky and they never corrected it. But you pay $45 Amenities fee!! No swimming pool - which is highly unusual for high-end hotels in this area. In short, very unfriendly, rude staff, trying to upcharge and upsell for everything, missing basics. I wouldn't recommend this hotel.

We had a great stay and definitely will be back! The only thing was unfortunately we wish was there would have been a microwave and fridge for personal use already in the room. As for guests who have their own drinks and on special diets due to their professions have to eat specific foods. So my husband had to throw his food away he could not heat it up and we had to try to find something comparable around the area. Other than that we could not have asked for a better getaway.
