I booked the Junior Suite, which was advertised as 400 sqft, but the room felt significantly smaller — I measured roughly 270 sqft including the bathroom. The hotel waived our parking fee after I raised this concern, which I appreciate. However, I think the room size description should be corrected to avoid misleading future guests. Overall, the hotel is stylish and well-located, but transparency is important.

Very cute boutique hotel. Did a quick stay and the design is amazing. Details are thoroughly thought through. The bed had the softest sheets I have been in. They should sell them to guests.

Great boutique hotel in the Fairfax area. Wonderful staff very helpful and knowledgeable. Adorable bright and happy rooms. The only problem was that the parking was 49.99 per day. That was kind of unbelievable. Other than that it was fantastic!

Great hotel, good location if you want to be near the shops at The Grove but far enough away from Hollywood etc. Made our honeymoon extra special even just while staying there for a couple of nights before flying to Hawaii.

My stay was so Wonderful. Will definitely stay here again when I return. The bar tender Jeremy was awesome and made the best drinks. He was so knowledgeable about brands and flavor profiles. The property was so special I loved the beautiful trees and boutique feel. The music was also nice and relaxing. Pool was temperature controlled which was a pleasant surprise. They cookies one day when I came in and they have fusion water daily which was refreshing. I was also impressed by the minibar! The best I have seen. I can’t say enough and it’s also across from the grove and walking distance from some cool clubs if you wanna have drinks and some dancing. Would highly recommend.

Cozy and quiet retreat

Such a lovely little hotel in the tradition of roadside motels. The courtyard is lovely and a wonderful place to work during the day. We stayed in the South Stories building and the room was spacious and had nice decor and lighting with dimmers. Turndown service and quick cleaning turnaround. Surprisingly quiet and a closed parking lot for security. Will definitely be back!

Used to be The Farmers Daughter. Nice remake. I like the service and the vibe. Valet is crazy expensive. Also they are cashless, which is generally fine. However, the only way to tip the cleaners is … cash? For whatever reason, I find this to be offensive. Why do the cleaning staff have to hope that each guest has cash on them?

Location is ideal for those not renting a car. Farmer’s market and the Grove shopping center within walking distance, so is Starbucks for breakfast. Several museums (Motion Pictures, Automobile, County Art, and La Brea tar pit) in the area. Bus to Hollywood or Santa Monica Piers is very inexpensive with Tap card.

What a perfect spot for a quick trip! The rooms are clean and well decorated, staff are lovely and the location is just a short walk to the Fairfax Farmers market where you find the a great selection of restaurants and market foods. Also walking distance to the Grove if you like outdoor malls. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
