Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff is amazing. It is more of a retro boutique vibe so if you’re used to the more chain, vanilla type places, you may not love it. The location cannot be beat in my opinion, being right across the street from the Farmers Market with tons of dining options around. A Trader Joes and CVS 5m walk. Tons of shopping at The Grove also next to the Farmer's Market. Also found the location quite central to the other places we went. I will come back.

The tv did not work the first night and the heater didn’t work any nights. There was also hair through out the room. The staff was friendly and this is not the norm since I have stayed there multiple times and book my corporate team there.

Short Stories is a gem. Fantastic location across the street from Farmer's Market and The Grove and within comfortable walking distance to museums in the Miracle Mile area. Good food and nice SoCal ambiance in the hotel bar/restaurant. Friendly staff and nice rooms. I would definitely stay here again.
