I actually booked this for my dad who was coming in for my graduation. He really loved the hotel and the proximity to The Grove and his new favorite grocery store, Erewhon. Highly recommend based on location to local tourism activities and ease.

I love this hotel, and have stayed there several times. I love the location, right across the street from the Farmer’s Market and the Grove. Easy to walk over to get a bite to eat, or a quick coffee in the morning. Rooms are comfortable and well maintained. Great location!

We will definitely be staying here again on our next trip to LA! All the staff went above and beyond. We loved the way the rooms were decorated and the beds were so, so comfortable after a long day walking and taking all the things in! Very central to so many things but loved going right across the street to the farmers market each day for breakfast or lunch! Thank you for making our stay wonderful at Short Stories!!

I chose this hotel because of the reasonable price and excellent location. It was worth it to me to valet the car and be able to walk or uber to certain appointments, restaurants, and shopping. The room was clean and quiet. The ac was good and had lots of options. The water pressure was fantastic and I loved taking a shower every morning. Staff was super helpful, taking my luggage to the room (I drove so I overpacked), getting the car and cleaning. Wi-Fi good as well.
