The place was excellent. I was very clean and comfortable. Quiet, staff was amazing. Really appreciated the water and coffee when we needed it. We will definitely be back! Great location for our needs as well.

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 comfortable, the staff was very helpful and they had a happy hour. The Santa Monica pier is a 5-10 minute drive from the hotel and there a few nice places to eat around the area and a bakery just across the street.

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.

Great stay - the staff was genuine and welcoming, coffee and lemon water always available made for some wonderful sit-on-the-beautiful-patio-and-relax moments, parking was easy and convenient. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat!
