I loved how convenient and clean the property was. The location is perfect because it’s next to everything you would need restaurants, convenience stores, coffee shops. Only complaint I would have was that the bathroom door was not a door that fully closed. It’s a barnyard sliding door.

Short Stories is a cute renovated motel. We stayed in a Jr King Suite- but the room was an average hotel room size. The beds are great and it’s got a nice shower. Quality of towels were pretty poor- like gym towels, thin scratchy and small. The front desk staff was pretty apathetic. The bartender and waiters were friendly and attentive. Nice location across the street from the Grove and The farmers market. We rented a car an in and out with the valet was quick and convenient.
