We really enjoyed our stay the location was great for us. Being able to use the bikes also was nice to get around town in a relaxed way. The staff was very nice and happy hour was a nice touch. The only feedback might be the signature sent in the lobby it may bother some people who are sensitive.

This is our 5th time staying at the Ambrose and is our go-to when we are visiting LA. he hotel has a boutiquey feel and is in a quiet area of Santa Monica but still close to everything. We enjoyed the daily happy hour offering complimenatry wine and beer and sitting in the relaxing outdoor patio. The indoor space is really nice too. The rooms are clean and spacious and the staff is very welcoming and helpful! We will be back!

Hotel is located in a great area, large rooms with friendly front desk staff. Housekeeping has to be requested and it’s very minimal at best - change of towels and garbage emptied.

Overall the stay was very nice; however, for an high end hotel the cost of parking at the hotel should not be $55. The room was clean and the staff were cordial. The negative item was that the doors to the rooms slam shut so during the early hours of the morning the door to the room with a common wall slammed shut and I could not get back to sleep. As upscale as this hotel is, there are devices that slowly and noiselessly closes doors without the loud sounds and reverberations.

We visited Santa Monica for a medical reason. The staff was very helpful and the hotel driver drove us to our nearby hospital appointment. We will stay at this hotel again when we have our follow up visit. The hotel was quiet and in a residential neighborhood.
