I was in Santa Monica for business and the hotel is located within walking distance to the office. Lots of dining options and I especially loved Tartine that is right across the street,

From A to Z, a wonderful and extremely stylish hotel. The interior alone captivated us from the very beginning. The staff are incredibly kind and helpful. We also really appreciated the drinks provided. We used the hotel’s bikes to explore the Santa Monica beach area. This extra touch was a hit. Without a doubt, we would choose the Ambrose again anytime.

Nice Santa Monica vibe. Very nice hotel, but not stuffy and laid back without being too laid back. Staff matched the vibe and were great. My 17yo daughter loved the hotel so much, she refused to leave. Which was a little annoying for me, but says good things about the hotel!

Good hotel but thin walls that conduct noise. Location was good with minimal street noise. Quaint lobby and patio. Helpful staff and secure parking. Would not stay again due to the interior noise from other rooms and the hallway. I don’t have a good frame of reference for California hotels but 437 for 1 night with parking seemed high given what it was and no pool.

The Ambrose Hotel is an oasis, and I still feel that way after being a guest many times over the past five years. The location is prime, the atmosphere is light-filled and soothing, and the guest rooms are well-appointed and spacious. And, the "honor bar" is hands-down the best. Food options for snacks and meals are appealing and well-prepared, and the late afternoon "Happy Hour" is very nice. More than all the excellence that The Ambrose offers, it's the people who matter most to me; they are to a person, friendly, helpful, professional, personable. When I need to be in the Greater LA Area, I will always stay here. Thanks to Brandon, Taylor, Jose, Nicole, and Ivan for making my most recent stay perfect in every way--they exceeded my high exceptions.

Great hotel with a lovely ambiance and wonderful staff. Great location in Sta Monica, but on a pretty quiet street. Lots of coffee shops & restaurants within walking distance. Would highly recommend this property as a base for exploring central LA/Sta Monica.

Brandon, Jose, and Luis are excellent. Very welcoming and accommodating. Remembered us from another stay and made us feel very comfortable. We were there for my daughters' medical procedures, and all the staff was very comforting and helpful. I highly recommend!

The Ambrose is a gem of a hotel, we really enjoyed our stay there. It is situated about a mile from Santa Monica Pier and the hotel offers a complimentary ride should you need it within a three mile radius. This is a nice touch, though we didn’t actually use it as we like to get out and explore early in the day and that service isn’t available until 11.00 am. The hotel itself is clean with comfortable beds, pillows, and has L’Occitane toiletries. Also provided are bathrobes, wi-fi in your room, tv and complimentary wine and beer between 5.00 and 7.00 pm each evening. What really stood out for us though was the friendliness of the staff who went out of their way to make your stay as pleasant as possible. Would definitely stay again if we returned to Los Angeles.
