For LA, this location is very walkable. Besides the farmers market/grove, you can walk to Swingers Diner or Canter’s Deli, LACMA, Melrose and more. I would highly recommend for first time LA trips

Hotel has nice feel about it. Located a bit out of the way if you dont have a car. Opposite farmers market and the grove so food available. Never used any of the amenities fee as not convenient. I bit overpriced

Very well presented clean hotel. Easy to get to main spots we wanted, walking distance from the grove. Found the Valet service pointless considering you can walk to thebcar faster than a valet getting it out for you. In saying that valets were all friendly. Male receptions were more welcoming than the female ones. Male receptionists always greeted wether coming or going.

We absolutely loved our stay at Short Stories! The hotel was just perfect for our quick visit to LA with a 1 year old. Everything felt clean and cared for. The bartender whipped us up a few fabulous cocktails. The Grove is right across the street, plus this location is so close to LACMA and the La Brea Tar Pits. Coffee and tea in the morning did not disappoint. The turn down service made you feel welcome to your home-away-from-home. We’ll definitely be back!

Don’t stay here if you want friendly service. The entire time we did not feel welcome by the staff here. Travelling from Australia, we were so excited to visit LA and the experience was dulled by how we were treated and looked at by staff. One of the only positives, the location.
