Overall good hotel. My room had a hallway light right out front of it that spilled into my room was so it wasn’t possible to get fully pitch black. But otherwise a nice hotel

Wonderful location and nice, stylish rooms. Check-in was friendly and helpful. Great housekeeping. Carafe of water in the room was appreciated. Valet staff was great, particularly the person working in the mornings. I wish we were able to recycle bottles. I was a bit disappointed that I wasn't able to extend my check-out by a half-hour. I know that this is never guaranteed or owed, but the person at the front desk was a bit dismissive about it. It is also disappointing that the hotel is "cashless" -- this hurts housekeeping and valet when it comes to tips. Otherwise, though, a great stay.

I liked the quiet and comfortable inner outdoor courtyard and the daily available coffee. Room was ample and somewhat basic, but comfortable with a large screen TV and couch and table, in a junior suite in the south building. The AC was adequate but disturbing as it switched on and off. Terrific location right next to the Grove - ideal location for everything I wanted, though would have to leave the property for breakfast. Helpful and friendly staff.

This property will be my #1 pick when I’m in this area of LA. The staff is kind, genuinely helpful and actively tries to make the customer experience as close to perfect as you can get. The charm is lovely and inviting. The room amenities are fantastic as well. Close to great food and shopping. Well done Short Stories!

Only one issue with the property. The shower door leaked. So I always had pudding on the floor after a shower. The great, the staff was friendly. The room is comfortable and quiet. The restaurant has great food. A great coffee and donut place is within walking distance. The Farmers Market offers a wide variety of cuisine to eat. A great Thai place is also in walking distance.

Excellent staff, they’re all very friendly and helpful. Room was good, some minor plumbing issues but nothing substantially major to cause any problems during my stay. Bed is on the harder side if that’s something you’re interested in or concerned about. Overall, a convenient and comfortable stay for a week.

Unique and stylish hotel near Farmer’s Market. The patio is lovely, the rooms nicely decorated, even though for four people a little bit on the small side. The pool has good depth, but is also on the smaller side. The staff is absolutely lovely and accomodating.
