We've stayed at Short Stories several times, even before the rebrand and reopening a couple years ago. It's always a solid stay in a great location. Service is friendly and helpful. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, great given that I needed to work from the room. We love that there are so many books in the room; wish we had time to read them. On the downside, the onsite restaurant is more a bar that serves some food and only open limited hours. However, the Farmer's Market and The Grove are right across the street with lots of dining options and even more restaurants are within a 10-minute walk. We ran into a problem where our shower leaked all over the bathroom floor. We let them know but it wasn't ever fixed. Still we'd likely stay there again.

Not a great experience
There was a party right at the front door, very noisy, cold draft coming through; no particularly friendly staff at front desk; would not recommend; unsure whether the location makes up for the shortcomings (which are plenty)

The location was great, across the road from the The Grove shopping area with lots of places to eat. Our room was clean and had everything we needed. Unfortunately our room was incredibly noisy, we barely slept for our 3 night stay. We could hear the guests next to us and above us banging around until early hours in the morning and car alarms going off in the side street next to us. It was also extremely expensive for what was received, especially after all the added extra fees which were not specified on Expedia prior to booking. This was unfortunately our least favourite accommodation on our California road trip.

For LA, this location is very walkable. Besides the farmers market/grove, you can walk to Swingers Diner or Canter’s Deli, LACMA, Melrose and more. I would highly recommend for first time LA trips

Hotel has nice feel about it. Located a bit out of the way if you dont have a car. Opposite farmers market and the grove so food available. Never used any of the amenities fee as not convenient. I bit overpriced

Very well presented clean hotel. Easy to get to main spots we wanted, walking distance from the grove. Found the Valet service pointless considering you can walk to thebcar faster than a valet getting it out for you. In saying that valets were all friendly. Male receptions were more welcoming than the female ones. Male receptionists always greeted wether coming or going.
