The hotel is so quaint and in a great location to explore the area. Restaurant on site has a nice selection of options. Room was clean and well appointed. It does have a mini bar with snacks and drinks, including full size bottles. I was charged at check out for items I did not consume or even move but they assured me the charge would be removed. Only downside is noise in the area. We heard street noise but also just in the areas outside our room. Heavy doors and night owls made for some wake ups overnight. All in all, very happy with the hotel. The gentleman at valet was so kind and accommodating too.

We stayed in the Kapua Suite. The decor was nice and it was very clean. It had a couch, dining table for 2, wardrobe and 2 TVs. We could see the Farmers Market from our window. Great location right across the street from that and The Grove. Free coffee in the morning and iced lemon water all day. The cleaning staff was super friendly. Front desk staff were helpful if you asked them a question. Otherwise they didn’t really speak. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. Next time I hope to enjoy the pool.

The room was clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. The small amount of food we had was good, also, BUT there is NO breakfast served. Expedia mentioned that breakfast was available, but it was not. Had to go out every day to get breakfast. This is NOT a 4 star hotel, and you need to revise its status. I would say a 3 star hotel is more accurate.

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!
