This is my second stay at Short Stories (third if you count staying there when it was The Farmer's Daughter), and I've always enjoyed the experience. Rooms are clean and homey, with an artsy, hip vibe. It's really more of a "motel" than a hotel with outdoor walkways leading to the rooms. Staff is friendly and helpful, and there's a good restaurant on the premises. My favorite part is the location - not only near my daughter's apartment, but right across the street from the Farmer's Market at the Grove mall, so there's easy access to food, shopping, movies and more. Plus, it's a short walk to a CVS, Citibank, and many of LA's most popular museums: the Motion Picture Museum, MOCA and the Petersen Car Museum which is amazing. And the rates are relatively reasonable. Highly recommend Short Stories!

What a CUTE hotel. It's a little bit hidden so unless you know it's there you'd walk right past it. Nestled in the city, it's clean and welcoming. Our room was furnished with a bunch of interesting books. They have snacks and such too for a cost which are pricey (we didn't divulge in these). The hotel itself was very quiet and there's a little pool in the center.

There was mosquitoes in my Junior Suite King room and the AC wasn’t working, so I had to stay in a regular King room. But my rate wasn’t updated to reflect the downgrade.

Two good things: good central location, friendly staff. Problems: the walkway between the main lobby and the building where the rooms are is extremely slippery when it’s wet outside. It rained most of the time we were there and so we spent most of the time trying not to slip when we walked to or from our room. There was a huge cockroach in the bathroom that we had to have removed. The water they provide to drink is in a reusable glass vase with a cork top that looks like it’s moldy. There was half a roll of toilet paper provided and no extras. The remote control to the TV didn’t work and we had to call and ask for more batteries. There is nowhere to put your luggage, no luggage rack. You have to just lay it on the floor. There is no chair to sit in, I guess you can sit on the bed. But when you sit on the bed, the mattress is gonna slide off of the bed platform. The bed platforms have sharp corners, which will give you bruises on your shin every time you walk by.

Super cute and unique hotel! The location is incredible and so close to so many things! The staff were lovely! The hotel was lovely, I loved sitting in the courtyard to have lunch. It’s a moment of peace in busy city! The room was large, clean with a full stock bar! Full of interesting books! It was lovely!
