What guests think

Across many reviews, Short Stories Hotel Near The Grove earns praise for its central, walkable location by The Grove and Farmers Market, stylish rooms, a peaceful courtyard with a heated pool, and generally friendly service.

Cleanliness is frequently highlighted, though a few guests reported housekeeping lapses and isolated pest issues. Facilities like the courtyard restaurant and bar are popular, but occasional closures, limited breakfast, and an amenity fee frustrate some. Rooms are comfortable and thoughtfully designed, yet noise from street or neighbors, small sizes, and loud AC appear in several reviews. Expect a stylish, well-located boutique stay with some trade-offs.

Facilities

Courtyard, heated pool, and an on-site bar/restaurant are highlights, but the pool is small and facilities are occasionally closed for private events or limited hours. Valet-only parking is convenient yet expensive, and a daily amenity fee draws complaints.

Loved this hotel! Gorgeous environs, and great bonus amenities including a welcome drink of either sparkling water or prosecco, two free cocktails at the bar ($16 each), and a $10 food credit at their restaurant (1 per stay). Loved the heated pool, which was the perfect temperature, and had towels at each chaise lounge and a convenient poolside bathroom. Loved the free coffee in the mornings and the lemon or cucumber water in the lobby all day. The food at the restaurant was spectacular, and bonus points for having an NA cocktail on the menu. Plus it was right across the street from the amazing Original Farmer’s Market, and within walking distance (less than 15 minutes) of Sidecar Donuts, Pho Saigon Pearl, and the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures. Would stay again!

The room was clean and roomy. Staff was professional and courteous. We were disappointed that the restaurant was closed on Monday with no notification, we chose this hotel based on the ease of an onsite restaurant. Also the menu at the restaurant was very minimal. We were not offered our VIP benefits that came with our reservation which was disappointing as well. The entrance to the Hotel was a bit difficult to locate due to all of the greenery growing on the front, we drove past it twice. Again I will stress the cleanliness which was EXCELLENT!

The hotel sold itself out to Netflix fight restaurant. For one you need a reservation. My party of five did get in but they did not have any vegan menu and they did not accommodate us so we Left and since it’s the only restaurant in the hotel we had to go somewhere else. we did not feel comfortable using the pool because the restaurant was the entrance to the pool. I had to guess with me who could not sit in the lobby and have a drink because the restaurant no longer belongs to the hotel it belongs to Netflix bite. They also decided to clean the sofa and the lobby on the same day me and my guess was there so we had no choice but to go up to my room which had no chair or table so the only place was to sit on the beds this was very inconvenient if I had known I would not have stayed there. I would never recommend this hotel to anyone. The Netflix bites pop-up may have been a good business idea for the hotel but very bad for the guests who paid for a room only with no amenities.

We had a lovely stay at this property. Outstanding location- lots of eating options, safe and calm. Very nice staff! Only concern- they have an amenities fee. They add an extra 25 plus 4 per night to drink their morning coffee and use the pool. It is called their resort fee! Was shocked to get a higher bill than quoted by expedia.

Bed bugs all over the bed. I got bites everywhere. After I found out the situation. I have notice three of their front desk people including a supervisor. But after I told them how suffered I got from this. They only give me three poor little bag of alcohol bags. And the guy which is the supervisor was so annoyed when I was asking. They never informed the hotel manager about this situation and never responded back to me. I arrive hotel in the 2 am in the morning. I found out the bed bugs at 6. I only slept around 3 hours a day to deal with this. But they never gave me a solution and cared. I have to get medicine myself. I have been called them all day reaching out the manager, but he was never there. First time is saying he is having a meal right now and will finish in 20 mins. After I called again after 20 mins, they told me to wait for the next day. I am just trying to receive positive and easy solution for this but they never cared. Now I am trying to tell everyone about this and be

Room floor was very dirty, front desk said they would tell housekeeping, nothing was done. My child slipped and fell twice in the slippery shower, again nothing was done. In the suite there was one remote for two tv’s, remote didn’t work so we couldn’t even use the tv’s. Valet wasn’t available 24/7 as advertised so we had to self park yet had to pay for valet. Staff was rude at check in. At check out was told that valet fee would be waived due to all of the troubles we had, they said they couldn’t print my invoice to confirm this due to technical issues. When they emailed me of course it wasn’t waived. Tried to follow up, was told a manager would call in 30 mins, it’s been 2 days and no one has followed up. Extremely disappointing.

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.

Short Stories has a fun, retro vibe. The hotel has a lovely courtyard and it is a relaxing respite after travels around the city. The beds are so comfy and the rooms quite clean. The cons include that the AC goes off when it reaches the designated temperature and then, back on which can be annoying for sensitive sleepers. Also, not much storage space and no racks to put luggage on so it must lay on the floor. If you can deal with those things, it is definitely worth it!

It was an excellent location as far as walking to restaurants, Farmers Market, LACMA, Academy of Motion Pictures, etc but on a bit of a noisy street (Fairfax). Sound proofing was lacking—could hear upstairs guests clomping around all night and early morning, plus their shower (in early am) was very loud. Staff was pleasant and helpful. beds were comfy. We had to valet park despite open spaces right in front of our room. Oh and lack of toilet privacy. Only a large heavy, clear glass door to separate toilet area from bed area so I would not suggest for anyone other than spouse/intimate partners as it was not very discreet as far as sounds, nor covering up.

Great trendy little hotel with jazz music playing in the lobby and beautiful courtyard, with little extras like citrus water in the lobby and a coffee bar set up in the courtyard in the morning. Great place to stay! However, because the in-room heating system is the original to the building, expect noise when it is running. You get used to it though and don’t need it running much.

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 can recommend this hotel. The only negative experience we had related to check-in. We arrived one hour before the official check-in time and were told by the reception that they would need another hour to "get the room ready." So, we sat down in the very nice hotel restaurant for late lunch -- all good -- and came back 90 minutes later only to learn that the rooms were still not ready--this was past the official check-in time, with no explanation given by the receptionist, and no apologies. Not cool. We complained to the manager, and suddenly our room was ready.

Nice grounds, clean rooms, convenient location for walking for food and entertainment. Nice staff. 3 stars because the coffee service is really bad. Literally a pump pot with either regular milk or plant-based milk. No half and half, which is a 100% staple in every restaurant, cafe, diner, and gas station in the USA. So I had my choice of buying my own carton or having to go out for coffee every morning, which was a real bummer. Please fix this very easy thing. The prices warrant a decent coffee service in the morning.

We loved almost everything about this hotel — except one thing, which is a dealbreaker for us. Location is walking distance to museums. The lobby is charming, the room is beautiful and comfortable, the valet service was friendly and prompt, the patio dining was lovely — for dinner. The fatal flaw? NO BREAKFAST. Not even coffee in the lobby! We had to go out to a doughnut shop to get coffee in the morning. The book of hotel amenities lists a Sunday mimosa brunch. Cool! We happily went down to the patio, were actually served coffee, and were given — dinner menus. Oh, we just serve the same menu all day, we were told. We could have mimosas but no brunch. One of the great pleasures of a vacation is to have a fabulous breakfast cooked for you. Not here. Start serving a lovely breakfast and we’ll be back.
