We stayed in the Kapua Suite. The decor was nice and it was very clean. It had a couch, dining table for 2, wardrobe and 2 TVs. We could see the Farmers Market from our window. Great location right across the street from that and The Grove. Free coffee in the morning and iced lemon water all day. The cleaning staff was super friendly. Front desk staff were helpful if you asked them a question. Otherwise they didn’t really speak. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. Next time I hope to enjoy the pool.

There was a gent working the later shift whose name I shamefully don't recall and he was incredible. Patient, understanding, steadfast and diligent. What a fellow and short stories is one of the most underrated hotels in LA. Thank you for a great stay. Jan 25 2026.

I would not stay here again. It was extremely overpriced for what it was. The guy who checked us in couldn't even look up from his computer to greet us or smile or anything when we walked in. It seemed like he was off put to have to

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.

Liked: Cleanliness
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!
