Liked: Staff & service
The staff were great here. The walls are thin so you can hear everything. The bed was comfortable but the pillows were terrible. The linens smelled very strongly of the detergent they use, which bothers me as someone with a sensitive nose. The decor was cute and the room was clean but it definitely felt like a nice motel as opposed to a hotel.

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.
