Beautiful stay! About a 10 minute drive to the pier and perfect stay. Came on an anniversary trip and this hotel was the best! Property is super nice. It's a small hotel with only about couple floors. Front desk staff are so sweet and helpful. The lobby is so well taken care of and cute. Outdoor seating with shade and a beautiful bar. Rooms are very clean and comfortable with great lighting in the bathrooms. There is plenty of street parking on and around the block and also parking available at the hotel for a fee. Overall an amazing stay and would absolutely recommend to anyone!

The Ambrose is a wonderful hotel within striking distance of the Santa Monica Pier. The staff is incredibly helpful, and the daily (5pm-7pm) complimentary wine and craft beer service is a nice touch. There is also a great brunch place (Tartine) across the street. It was a great stay.

Great property, but overpriced for a sleepless night

The Good:
- Cleanliness was top-notch.
- Staff was friendly and accommodating.
- Great location and excellent overall condition of the property.

The Bad:
- Noisy AC: Cycled on and off loudly all night. (without AC the room would have been too warm for a good sleep)
- Thin walls: Heard every word of our neighbors' conversation in the early morning.

Summary:
We were only there from 9:00 PM to 8:30 AM and didn't use any amenities—we literally just paid for a night of sleep and didn't get it. For a quick, sleep-only stay, it was much too expensive for the lack of comfort

I paid $350 for one night, and it was nowhere near worth the price.

The location was disappointing—about 20 blocks from the ocean—and the street noise was constant. The soundproofing was terrible; I could hear everything happening in the hallway and in the neighboring rooms.

When I checked in, I asked whether I could park in the hotel's parking lot and was told, \"No problem.\" Later, I discovered an unexpected $60 parking charge added to my bill, with no mention of the fee beforehand.

To make matters worse, when I arrived, I was told that the room I had booked hadn't been cleaned, so they moved me to what they called the \"next best\" room. Despite the inconvenience, no discount, credit, or other compensation was ever offered.

Overall, this was a very poor experience. Between the excessive price, noisy rooms, unexpected charges, and lack of customer service, I would not stay here again.

The Ambrose hotel is in a residential neighborhood which is really nice. Tartine Café is a major bonus across the street. Excellent yoga at Yoga Changes is across the street.

The staff needs more experience with eye to eye contact and clarity of the Ambrose amenities. Also, they are not familiar with the neighborhood they are working in.

My major concern was frustration with communication with my reservation.

The manager was exhausting to satisfy a solution with the cleaning of my room. I still have been charged for a room that was not cleaned.

The room was adequate but nothing special. There was some long dark hair on the bathroom floor when we arrived. I like the fact that the windows open so fresh air can be enjoyed in the room. For the price, I feel like there should have been some additional more upscale amenities, such as Nespresso or similar coffee in the room or at the very least in the lobby. I also feel a refillable water bottle (i.e. PATH) would have been nice. The available bicycles are great, but since we visited to specifically attend an even we didn't have time to use them. The staff was very friendly, professional, and helpful.

They charge a \"resort fee\" on top of the already high price for things that are, at other hotels, included, such as wifi and use of the small gym. This hotel is not a resort.

The room was not in working order.

While a balcony seems nice, the hotel is on the corner of two busy streets and near a hospital, so there is too much street noise to enjoy sitting outside.

Charming and cozy retreat especially while my husband was in the hospital. Only 4 blocks away. Comfortable and quiet has a lovely residential craftsman style appeal. Low calm lighting, noise quieting machine, free filtered water in glass…my favorite. Great coffee in the morning. Right across the street from Tartine and lovely bakery.

Only complaints, my room 209 has a leaky shower… so wet slippery floor every shower. Also if they could replenish the half and half more it had run out 2 of my 4 mornings.

Lovely staff , secure parking and charging for electric vehicles. Lovely patio and side yard with an outdoor fireplace.

You do need to request housekeeping so keep that in mind.

I walked away impressed with my stay at The Ambrose. The complimentary coffee service each morning was a highlight, as it was actually good coffee. Breakfast menu is intentionally small, but everything on it is good. Little things stood out too. Pitchers of water in the room and water stations on every floor. Simple, thoughtful, and you’d be surprised how few places bother. Parking was easy, which is especially necessary in LA.

Room was clean and comfortable. No drama. Bed was good, space felt taken care of. Exactly what you want after a long day.

Staff was very polite and accommodating from the food service to the front desk. I had forgotten clothes in the closet and called the hotel but they had already folded and had them ready for me as soon as I called. The Ambrose gets the details right, and that’s what makes the difference.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Breakfast was fresh and portions generous.
The hotel is very quiet .

At least place a rubber mat. At best install a hand held shower head.

We could not get the room cool enough. The business office had one chair and very dim lights, it was so hard to work in there. Why bother having a business office if you don’t even have a printer and some pens. I had to spend about 6 hours in this room during my stay. The beds were not very comfortable, a pillow top mattress would be so much better.
The location is amazing.

The staff were not friendly. The keys only worked once and then we had to get new ones. Parking was expensive. The bed was just ok. The room was just ok. The worst two parts were the extra fees of $89 charged when we checked out for absolutely nothing and the rainhead shower head that didn't get us clean. No pressure or wand. Poor design! It came out to over $550 for one overnight stay plus the parking fee. We used no amenities. We were very disappointed. When I asked about the last minute fees, the desk clerk was rude.

Noisy rooms

The place is clean and in a very good location.
Our room was facing the back alley and every morning at 6 AM we were woken up by very load banging noise of garbage collection trucks that banged the trash cans with such force that everything felt like falling apart.
Heat/AC system has been very noisy too interrupting our sleep every time it tuned on or off. The white noise devices were totally useless in this environment.
Getting a quiet room has been our only request prior to checking in.

When we checked in there was a squashed cockroach on the floor. When I went to get coffee the next morning the milk was sour and curdled. The electronics that were supposedly in the room either were not present or didn't work. Impossible to get the TV casting to work, and the white noise machine referred to on a card in the room wasn't even there. When we called to ask for one, the person at the front desk told US to come down and fetch it and then wasn't there when we actually came down. We had to wait for 15 mins with three other people who also needed service. And all this for $400+ a night. What a ripoff.
