We recently returned from a 7 day vacation to the Los Angeles area and stayed at The Ambrose Hotel. We were initially concerned re. a first floor room (especially one near the elevator) however it was very quiet without any hallway noise. The parking garage (free) is below the hotel with an easy key entry system allowing access to the... more

We stayed at the Ambrose for 2 nights while just arriving from france and adapting to jet lag. We really appreciated the quiet surroundings and friendliness of staff. Breakfast was served very early (from 6 am) which also really suited us. As we were travelling with our 3 kids (aged 6 to 10) we asked for and were given two... more

Stayed there 3 nights over a weekend and loved the place. Parking and getting your own car in the underground garage was a real plus-also, being only one block from Wilshire made it convenient to beach in Santa Monica or to Beverly HIlls. Free wifi is hard to find in LA. If only they had a pool!! more

We have stayed at the Ambrose three times and always have a good experience. The rooms are very nice. I love the breakfast. The courtryard is cute and the taxi will take you or pickup from the nearby promenade. It's also near the beach but without paying the beach prices at the other hotels. Great location if you plan on... more

I found the Ambrose Hotel very comfortable, clean, well-appointed, and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. My room was quiet, bathroom huge, the staff was mostly helpful, and it was fun to take the cab to the pier. It's pretty convenient, so close to Wilshire blvd, and I had no problems getting around. the breakfast was quite elaborate, for one used... more

Santa Monica can be expensive. The Ambrose is about 20 blocks from the beach, but is reasonably priced and includes a very good continental breakfast and parking at no additional charge; when I was searching Santa Monica hotels, I found no other hotels that included free breakfast and parking. Noise bothers me in many hotel rooms, but The Ambrose was... more

Not quite as "great" as some make it out to be, but certainly this is a good little find on the north side of Santa Monica. Room was very comfortable - clean, nice bed, linens, bathroom - and well appointed. They take the 'green" thing seriously and that also lends a nice overall vibe and a fresh feel. But here's... more

My partner and I stayed at The Ambrose for 2 nights at the end of a trip down the Pacific coast. We wanted to be well placed to visit Hollywood and the sights, while staying somewhere comfortable and not too expensive. According to the TripAdvisor reviews the Ambrose fit the requirements. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the room... more

Further to the reviews on tripadvisor and on looking at the hotels own website, I was thrilled to get a room here at New Year for a couple of nights. The Hotel is 'boutique' style and looks swish. It is clean. Staff are efficient if a wee bit supercilious in attitude. The room was pleasant enough and the bed was... more
