Are new go to when visiting LA

We just found our new go-to spot when visiting L.A.! The Short Story Hotel near Beverly Grove is in an ideal location—so much better than downtown or other parts of the city we’ve stayed in before. It’s central to all the fun things we wanted to do, with tons of great restaurants nearby and plenty that’s walkable. It’s also right near Erewhon, if you’re craving an extremely expensive smoothie! Highly recommend this place—can’t go wrong staying here.

Nice grounds, clean rooms, convenient location for walking for food and entertainment. Nice staff. 3 stars because the coffee service is really bad. Literally a pump pot with either regular milk or plant-based milk. No half and half, which is a 100% staple in every restaurant, cafe, diner, and gas station in the USA. So I had my choice of buying my own carton or having to go out for coffee every morning, which was a real bummer. Please fix this very easy thing. The prices warrant a decent coffee service in the morning.

Great hotel with beautiful lobby and pool. Customer service was great and in a great area very close to farmers market and the grove. Only downside was the room cleaning. Found stains on some of the bedding and throughout the stay, the housekeeping was getting less thorough. Other than that, everything was great! Would recommend

Pulled in my car into the valet and they took care of me right away. I had a lot of baggage and they carried it in for me to check into the hotel. The rooms were updated. Reminded me of a modern French hotel - parquet floors, tarazo floors in the bath area. Hidden gem
