Ambrose Hotel

I like the place. Checkmarks for most everything one would want in an upscale hotel. For me it is a nice hotel with proximity to my clients and kids.

Great hotel with close location to UCLA treatment center. Affordable and nice. They also give a medical discount for patients being treated at UCLA. They are so friendly as well. Rooms are quiet and clean. Luxury without the high luxury price. Free happy hour 5-7 pm.

I recently stayed here and woke up to ants in my bed. Crawling all over me. Hotel did nothing to remedy the situation. In fact, the manager was reasonably condescending. They refused to comp me for the nights that I had ant infestations which was half of my stay. Horrible experience. Will never be back and I've notified the health department.

Really enjoyed chatting with Noelle. Excellent driver. Appreciated the UK knowledge. Lovely person. I also really liked the Tesla. Clean and smooth ride.

I recently stayed at Ambrose Hotel and overall had a very pleasant experience. The hotel has a warm, cozy bed-and-breakfast feel that immediately makes you feel comfortable and welcomed. The atmosphere is calm, charming, and thoughtfully designed—perfect for a relaxing stay.

A special shoutout to Noelle, the driver for the hotel’s Tesla car service. She was incredibly friendly, helpful, and professional, and truly added a personal touch to the experience. The Tesla service itself is a great perk and made getting around easy and enjoyable.

The only downside worth mentioning is the Wi-Fi. The hotel advertises high-speed internet, but in reality the connection was quite slow during my stay. As an online professional who relies heavily on fast and stable internet, this is something future guests who work remotely should definitely take into account.

That said, if you’re looking for a cozy, boutique-style hotel with great service and a welcoming vibe, the Ambrose is a lovely choice—just be mindful of the internet speeds if you plan to work online.

Noelle was excellent. Very professional. Got us there so easily. She was a very good driver and so so pleasant. She drove very very carefully.

This hotel was overall very nice with friendly staff. Noelle was awesome! Super friendly and a great experience to have a hotel driver.

This hotel is amazing … very nice accommodations … and offers free Tesla rides within 3 miles. Our driver Noelle was amazing! I wasn’t sure how it was going to work but her communication made pick up a breeze and the ride was quite pleasant!

The property is beautiful and taking a drive to downtown Santa Monica with Noelle was super nice. She is very pleasant and so helpful. It was a real pleasure to meet her, talk and listen to her awesome tunes. She is absolutely delightful.

Pre-paid for two night stay over the weekend. Neighborhood is nice and convenient but I will stay elsewhere next time I visit Santa Monica. Some specifics:

1). Arrived on Saturday, 45 minutes before the regular checkin (3PM). Despite having rooms available they said I had to wait until the official time.
2). Front desk staff were condensing and unfriendly.
3). Pre-paid charges included $92 Tax Recovery Fee and $177 Services Fee in addition to the remove charges.
4). They scanned my credit card for incidentals (expected) and parking but when I returned home I was charged additional taxes and amenities fee. When I called the front desk, again I encountered a condensing staff informing me I should have read things more closely.
5). Happy to pay for an amenity fee but there was no bar or restaurant (just a complementary happy hour) and a very small fitness facility.

I am a frequent business and leisure traveler and will definitely not stay at this facility again.

Everything was wonderful and Noelle gave me excellent tips and was really nice, showing me around.

Nice little hotel in a great location in Santa Monica. Loads of attention to detail, green approach to things, beautiful rooms and relaxed vibe, highly recommend

The Ambrose is a great boutique hotel in Santa Monica. It's not too close to the beach but it's a great area near UCLA medical center and quieter neighborhoods. They offer bikes and a complimentary Tesla to get around locally. The lobby/common area is tastefully decorated and cozy. There is also a nice patio when the weather is nice. We recently stayed in a very comfortable suite with a couch, large bathroom and 2 balconies. I highly recommend it for the value and quality.

Beautiful architecture. Modern and clean.

The hotel is in a quiet spot away from the ocean, which makes for a peaceful sleep.

Exceptionally clean

Everyone at the Ambrose offered great service- the front desk, the house keeping, the bar service and food have been great.
Noelle was fantastic as the complimentary driving service.
We have been grateful for the service during an extended stay.
Highly recommend!

Amazing find! The hotel is well located, and the staff is amazing. The yoga studio and Tartine café across the street were just perfect. The car service offered by the hotel with Noelle was so convenient, she was the best - a real value add!
