Two good things: good central location, friendly staff. Problems: the walkway between the main lobby and the building where the rooms are is extremely slippery when it’s wet outside. It rained most of the time we were there and so we spent most of the time trying not to slip when we walked to or from our room. There was a huge cockroach in the bathroom that we had to have removed. The water they provide to drink is in a reusable glass vase with a cork top that looks like it’s moldy. There was half a roll of toilet paper provided and no extras. The remote control to the TV didn’t work and we had to call and ask for more batteries. There is nowhere to put your luggage, no luggage rack. You have to just lay it on the floor. There is no chair to sit in, I guess you can sit on the bed. But when you sit on the bed, the mattress is gonna slide off of the bed platform. The bed platforms have sharp corners, which will give you bruises on your shin every time you walk by.

Super cute and unique hotel! The location is incredible and so close to so many things! The staff were lovely! The hotel was lovely, I loved sitting in the courtyard to have lunch. It’s a moment of peace in busy city! The room was large, clean with a full stock bar! Full of interesting books! It was lovely!

Liked: Cleanliness
So the room is clean and nice but there was a LOUD speaker for an event going for hours downstairs and then yelling, music, and car alarms in the street past 3AM. The room felt like a motel (opened to the outside). All of this would have been fine but it was so expensive and the parking was $45/day. A little bit of a disappointment.

It’s all fine, but not special. Rooms are cramped and the toilet/shower is part of the room with a sliding door (no lock and large gaps), so don’t expect privacy. It’s a great location though

Very friendly staff, quick check-in. Thanks to Julia, Bella and Zack our stay was enjoyable! Room was very clean and serviced daily. Highly recommend the restaurant for its cool menu, the food is delicious and they should open daily. We ate there every day except for Mondays when it’s closed! Many thanks to Nima who already knew our order by heart haha, was friendly and knowledgeable and to Nicole for great service and hospitality. We will definitely stay at The Short Stories Hotel again. If you want to be right across from the Farmer’s Market at The Grove, this is the hotel to book! Great job everyone and keep up the good work! Sandra and Dario

Loved this hotel! Gorgeous environs, and great bonus amenities including a welcome drink of either sparkling water or prosecco, two free cocktails at the bar ($16 each), and a $10 food credit at their restaurant (1 per stay). Loved the heated pool, which was the perfect temperature, and had towels at each chaise lounge and a convenient poolside bathroom. Loved the free coffee in the mornings and the lemon or cucumber water in the lobby all day. The food at the restaurant was spectacular, and bonus points for having an NA cocktail on the menu. Plus it was right across the street from the amazing Original Farmer’s Market, and within walking distance (less than 15 minutes) of Sidecar Donuts, Pho Saigon Pearl, and the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures. Would stay again!
