Short Stories Hotel

We enjoyed our stay, mostly because they went above and beyond to make up for the mistake. We appreciated the service and kind staff.

Liked: They made up for it!
Disliked: They didn't honor our reservation.

Staff was friendly. Overpriced. Cute.

Liked: Overly friendly and helpful staff. Close to Molly Malone's.
Disliked: Room next to the freeway.

I loved staying at Short...

Liked: The location was perfect. The room was great and room service impeccable. The restaurant was great too, especially "happy hour" specials.
Disliked: My room was directly opposite the pool area, so on a few occasions there were kids screaming on the top of their voices whilst jumping in and out of the pool. It felt a little inappropriate for such a classy, tranquil hotel with elite clientele who were dining or holding private meetings in the courtyard area. I appreciate that the parents were happy that their kids were having such a fun raucous party, but maybe this hotel wasn't the best fit for them? There was also lighting issues in my particular room (214) where bedside lamps would blink or flash quite erratically when any other power was being utilized in the room, such as aircon, hairdryer, TV, etc. If you put a side bedside lamp on, it will occasionally flash brightly, which could be an electrical issue to be investigated.

Very good

Loved this place!

Liked: Loved our stay here! Perfect location, with a beautiful courtyard and a nice size pool to cool off in. Right across from a farmers market filled with amazing food vendors and the grove shopping area, we had a nice time at the local spots to here, its around the corner from a nice bar and resturant.The whole place feels so considered and thoughtful the design details and the little touches like chocolates on the pillow at turndown, robes, and toiletries. A stay that felt both relaxed and special. Absolutely loved it!
Disliked: Nothing, all perfect!

Lovely oasis across from The...

Liked: This little hotel is tucked away behind greenery-covered fences just across the street from The Grove. Everyone we encountered - front desk, valet, restaurant, cleaning staff - was kind and attentive, and the room itself was an absolute steal given the location. We were in the "second stories" building, which is not the one with the interior courtyard. Our room had hardwood floors, a sitting area, and a sliding barn door to separate the bathroom area from the sleeping area. It was clean and mostly quiet (we had a loud-ish neighbor one night), and the bed was very comfortable. The hotel served as a great "home base" for us to explore LA and felt very safe both for us and our car.
Disliked: The loud-ish neighbor woke us up from a dead sleep at 2am with bass, which wasn't great. But someone from the hotel must have dealt with it because they quieted down within 30 minutes.
