Fodor's Expert Review The Ambrose

Tranquillity pervades the airy, California Craftsman–style, four-story Ambrose, which blends right into its mostly residential Santa Monica neighborhood. Expect crisp linens, high ceilings, and sea-themed hues in cozy rooms. Management prides itself on "green" practices like using nontoxic cleaning products and reducing water use. Windows are double paned for quiet; upper floors have partial peeks of ocean in the distance. Room service and the expanded continental breakfast buffet include healthy choices. The small garden allows for a tranquil hideaway in the middle of the city. Perks like a fitness center with Peloton bikes, beach cruiser usage, Wi-Fi, an evening wine reception, and Tesla car service are included with the $25 daily amenity fee.
