I love the location, the service but the price and the state of repair did not justify the price of 350/nt. Moldy showers, waiting 10 minutes for warm water and no coffee maker in the room.

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!

Great location for visiting LA museums and the Original Farmers Market near The Grove. Not far from the Hollywood area as well. We loved this boutique hotel. Room was fresh and nice with great towels and bed. There was a very nice courtyard with trees and comfortable seating. Eating in the hotel wasn't important to us but the Bar/restaurant seemed to have very limited hours. Would definitely stay here again.
