Second time at Short Stories - it’s our favorite place to stay in LA! Right in the middle of La Brea which can feel so chaotic, but as soon as you step inside the hotel it’s calm and lovely. Staff is awesome, property is beautiful and clean, pool is heated. We’ll stay here whenever we visit :)

Ok for the price
Hotel was nicely designed but the AC/heating unit was loud and looked like it was from the 80s. Staff was nice but not super professional. Room was nice sized. Bathroom left a lot to be desired.

Fantastic location with great staff.
Wonderful service by the front desk and the bar. Our only complaint was the beds were not comfortable, but we are very picky bed people and the heat could either be on or off, but would not go at auto, so it would get very hot in the middle of the night and we turn it off and then we get very cold. Fantastic location!

It’s always a pleasure to stay at the Short Stories Hotel. From their friendly staff to their comfy rooms, they really do make you feel at home. Plus, you can walk to the best doughnut shop on the planet, Sidecar, right down the street. And, don’t get me started on The Farmer’s Market & The Grove. Loved every minute of my stay!
