Vacations Close To Strathearn Historical Park

The people. They are really professionals, respectful, caring and kind.

Room was clean. AC was cold. Good water pressure. Plenty of outlets. Rooms have mini fridge but no microwave. I recommend bringing your own toiletries as what's offered is limited and inconsistent. The self check in and out station is convenient. Parking is limited and $10 per day. If they run out you can park across the street at their sister hotel (Glendale Hotel) for free. No vending machines or snacks for purchase on site. Only one chair in the room. Suggestions: A microwave on top of the mini fridge and a second chair would be ideal. If you want to take it a step further providing a small folding table would be great. You can tuck it next to the mini fridge.

Short Stories is always my go to hotel while visiting Los Angeles. I find it fairly central (between Beverly Hills and Downtown LA) to shopping, restaurants, and grocery stores like Trader Joe's and Whole Foods. The hotel sits on a busy street, but you wouldn't know based on the courtyard that gives the hotel a tranquil feel.

Not really convenient to be in a location surrounded by homeless people. The room was decent but the tissue box was empty , the shampoo bottle was almost empty. The shower curtain had hair inside. They advertise having beach chairs but they didn’t had the available for us. I appreciate having beach towels available. Front desk personnel was very kind.
