Great place to stay. Good location for us. Lovely terrace. Free happy hour. Parking convenient and secure. Only issue we had was our room was located over an alley where garbage pickup and deliveries were early morning and rather loud

Free parking right underneath the hotel. Quick easy check in, friendly staff. Complimentary beer and wine happy hour from 5-7 and the bartender was awesome. Very happy with the bathroom lighting and makeup mirror. After a long night out we melted into an incredible comfortably bed. We appreciated their 12pm check out even though we had to leave earlier.

The hotel is nice and in good condition. The A/C didn't work properly in our room so we had a terrible night. Also the pillows are huge

This place is awesome. Free car service within three miles, which we used twice. Walkable to the beach. Amazing staff, great service and super clean. They also have free happy hour every night, which we took advantage of a few times. The parking is easy. I would highly recommend The Ambrose!

Excellent in every way EXCEPT: using the TV was impossible. We spent an hour trying to figure out how to access the channel we wanted to watch. Gave up, finally! Please - can't things be less complex when it comes to simply wanting to watch TV???

I expected a lot more from this hotel. By the time it was all done, I spent about $500 with initial cost and multiple hidden fees. With that price point, we could have stayed at a hotel with many more amenities and a much nicer room.

I just discovered this little gem of a hotel tucked away on a quiet street in Santa Monica. If you like small, upscale boutique hotels that are priced between the high-end and the mid-range hotels, this is perfect for you. I chose this hotel because of all the rave reviews on Expedia and now I am adding my own rave review to the pile.

We were in LA for a family event. The hotel was very nice - the staff were very friendly and informative. I asked for a feather pillow and got it! My husband left part of his cpap machine, it was found and will be mailed to us - thank you Leo.

Clean, attractive exterior. Drive by slowly, don’t stay there! Way overpriced for what you get in service, amenities. Throughout our stay, we were continually disappointed: oatmeal a tepid bowl of milk with about a 1/2 cup of oatmeal on bottom, poor communication with front desk re: housekeeping (spoke with them about frequency of housekeeping desired, didn’t show up), given wrong key several times, paid extra for studio, thinking we would have a nice table and chairs for dining(as pictured online), not the case. Clearly understaffed. Low standard for customer service. Very disappointing, horrific waste of money! Stay away!

Overall a disappointing stay. Serious price gouging by Expedia over UCLA graduation weekend made the pricing for this very mid-range hotel $700/night! Should have been no more than $250/night. $25/night for parking felt steep as well. Management/leadership was seriously lacking, front desk staff was overwhelmed and inexperienced (but very friendly!). Breakfast was terrible as far as service and quality of food (due to lack of staff, they pulled housecleaners in to take orders and serve food, which was NOT a good scene -but not the fault of the staff; reception folks also had to take orders). The following morning we went to Tartine across the street and it was AMAZING (proximity to Tartine was the best part of our stay). You have to ask for housekeeping, otherwise you don't get it (WHY? Covid concerns were clearly not a factor, as no one is masked anymore). Room was, however, very clean upon arrival. Complimentary chocolate truffles were delicious. Tub was super slippery and there should have been a non-slip mat provided. Water pressure was mediocre. Hotel is quiet, sound proofing was good. Plenty of room to unpack clothes, and a mini fridge in the room. Walking distance to restaurants, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's. If I hadn't had to pay a small fortune, this review might have been better. But the poor staffing was truly an issue - I know it's hard everywhere and I hope they can hire more staff soon

Nice hotel, clean and a good spot for Santa Monica. Found it a bit overpriced - I think the price reflects a lot of the perks (happy hour, bike rentals) but if you're not using those, it wasn't really worth it. Also, wish there was coffee in the room.

This is a beautiful boutique hotel with all of the amenities. They have a small but perfect menu that you can eat in their charming dining area, or have delivered to your room. The staff was super friendly and no request was too big. The room was great and very large. I can highly recommend this hotel!
