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!

As always a great place to stay. Welcomed us with Prosecco and juice. Love that it's right across from The Grove and the Farmer's Market which provide plenty of dining options, which means it doesn't matter than the onsite options are limited. However this also meant we could use the Expedia amenity as we were only around one night and didn't eat at the restaurant. Very walkable and safe area. We walked 20 minutes to Bacio di Latte and felt fine doing so. Lots of upscale dining nearby as well. Rooms are very cute with a seating area and lots of books. A ton of personality here.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was really stylish and cute. The staff were friendly. There is shopping and restaurants right across the streer. I picked the location for its proximity to Universal Studios. The walls are thin; I can hear the neighbors talking. Hallways and rooms are not carpeted so noise travels very easily. The hotel does provide complementary earplugs. It smells like cigarette smoke in the bathroom which I think was coming through the venfs. Overall, besides those cons it is really nice place to stay.

Wonderful location and nice, stylish rooms. Check-in was friendly and helpful. Great housekeeping. Carafe of water in the room was appreciated. Valet staff was great, particularly the person working in the mornings. I wish we were able to recycle bottles. I was a bit disappointed that I wasn't able to extend my check-out by a half-hour. I know that this is never guaranteed or owed, but the person at the front desk was a bit dismissive about it. It is also disappointing that the hotel is "cashless" -- this hurts housekeeping and valet when it comes to tips. Otherwise, though, a great stay.
