Sweet Stay at Short Stories
Short Stories has a fun, retro vibe. The hotel has a lovely courtyard and it is a relaxing respite after travels around the city. The beds are so comfy and the rooms quite clean. The cons include that the AC goes off when it reaches the designated temperature and then, back on which can be annoying for sensitive sleepers. Also, not much storage space and no racks to put luggage on so it must lay on the floor. If you can deal with those things, it is definitely worth it!

It was an excellent location as far as walking to restaurants, Farmers Market, LACMA, Academy of Motion Pictures, etc but on a bit of a noisy street (Fairfax). Sound proofing was lacking—could hear upstairs guests clomping around all night and early morning, plus their shower (in early am) was very loud. Staff was pleasant and helpful. beds were comfy. We had to valet park despite open spaces right in front of our room. Oh and lack of toilet privacy. Only a large heavy, clear glass door to separate toilet area from bed area so I would not suggest for anyone other than spouse/intimate partners as it was not very discreet as far as sounds, nor covering up.

Wonderful retreat in LA. Thoughtful aesthetic and generous extras that made this reasonable hotel feel luxe. Perfect for that day when you need a break from activities and just want a relaxing lounge.
