Very nice time

Passable

Liked: Staff was very friendly and helpful and the patio was nice to stay for the morning while working. The room was very clean and the bed very comfortable
Disliked: You have to pay 45 dollars per day for valey parking though the hotel does seem to have a location to park (at least the back part we were in). Our room smelled like moth balls

I miss the other hotel’s...

Liked: I loved the property when it was The Farmer’s Daughter. SO MUCH has changed. I missed the store, the way the atrium was designed and the potato chips and brandy in the evenings.
Disliked: The front desk team

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!
