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.

Absolutely loved our stay at Short Stories hotel. The room was spacious, homey and clean. The housekeeping staff were incredible and provided a turn down service as well as the morning housekeeping. It’s a very central location and super convenient being right across from the Grove and Farmers markets. We really enjoyed our stay here
