Verified Reviews of The Ambrose

Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently:
"Great Intimate & Quiet Hotel"
Overall Score5.0/ 5
I was staying at the Ambrose because I was having surgery nearby and my surgeon's office recommended The Ambrose. I was coming in from out of state. The Ambrose is an upscale boutique hotel. It was quaint, quiet and the room was lovely. I got a room with a little balcony. The ceiling in my room was high so I never felt closed in during my three day recovery there. The staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was delicious. There were restaurants nearby. I highly recommend The Ambrose for any getaway.
