A glorified motel

Really not very special and definitely overpriced. It’s absolutely not that there is anything wrong with it, so it’s definitely a safe choice. Just that nothing at all stood out either.

Our room was super clean and decorated beautifully. The cleaning staff checked on us twice during our stay, just to make sure we weren’t missing anything, as we didn’t want cleaning every day. Front desk staff was cordial, and the courtyard restaurant was nice. The area the hotel is in is quite busy, and it’s close to the farmer’s market, The Grove, and a Trader Joe’s (good for cheap water and snacks when heading out for the day). Unfortunately, the area is a bit scruffy and the hotel was noisy at night due to the restaurant in the courtyard as well as traffic. I’d stay at this hotel again, as the price was good and cleanliness is important to us.

Cutest little boutique hotel

Stayed here for 1 night with my tween daughter. We both loved it-the room was darling, courtyard had the best vibe and couldn’t ask for a better location across from the Grove!

Conveniently located near The Grove. Walked to this beautiful mall every day. Rooms were small. Not sure if $10 towards restaurant was VIP amenity. Hotel has restaurant and bar. Lovely decorated patio for lounging around. I’d consider staying here again.

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.
