    • The Ambrose - Santa Monica
    by tomhoward
    The Ambrose is a recently opened, independent, boutique style hotel. I doubt you will find a better hotel for your money in Santa Monica - the main reason being it's located a short car drive from the expensive sea-front (but therefore the tramps as well). The distance wasn't a problem for us, and if you don't have a car (or want to pay the $9 in a taxi), then you can always use their London taxi cab that will take you anywhere within Santa Monica... FOR FREE !

    Basically ideal for anyone who wants luxury accommodation, but can't afford the likes of Shutters on The Beach or The Casa del Mar.

    Beautiful rooms, corridors and an outdoor waterfall / Koi pond all touch on an Asian inspired theme. For once, a hotel whose website pictures actually look like the reality.

    Other perks are the underground parking with elevator access, free Starbucks breakfast, decent fitness room (for a hotel), and mega friendly, helpful staff. Rooms are plush with widescreen TV's and CD / DVD systems.

    These are the few gripes we had about the place:

    No bar - you have to get booze from an over-priced and under stocked mini-bar (or like us from the local supermarket, then put it in the mini-bar)

    No pool - even though for some reason we both assumed from the old website that it did

    Also, book your own taxi through Yellow Cabs ((tel: (310) 456 5303 or (877) 733 3305 or (888) 793 5569) - the firm The Ambrose are in partnership with charge about 50% more for the same journey.
