superb staff, but missing basics for business traveler
The Huntington is a beautiful old hotel with a magnificent pool and spa area. Its staff are very eager to help and very friendly. The rooms are quite nice. However, this place is really not suited to the business traveler. The rooms lack basic coffee/tea kettle equipment, and there's no room service after 10, so if you want a cup of tea late night or early morning, you're out of luck. There are hardly any outlets in the rooms, and you're forced to move beds to reach plugs to charge your phone and laptop. There's only one restaurant, very high end, and not a quick place to grab a bite. There's virtually nothing in the area to walk to, no coffee shops or drugstores in walking distance, only 1- 2 restaurants nearby (and this is a problem for the nearby luxury hotels as well). Finally, the room service food is quite poor and overrated. I ordered an inedible cheese pizza and glass of wine; cost $30.
