    Great location across the street from the Farmers Market & The Grove. Well located in L. A. Cool and Hip.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    This location is right across from The Grove and close (15 or so minute walk) to the LACMA, Tar Pits, etc. We stayed here back in the day when it was The Farmer's Daughter. Since then, they have renovated the rooms which have a cute vibe. Housekeeping was really helpful and kind.

    It was a good stay for us. We stayed for about a week on the 3rd floor and enjoyed our stay. Im very picky with beds in hotels and when you enter the bed was so beautiful made and was comfy. The water pressure could be a bit better and tiles in the washroom could use a change. The restaurant at the hotel was cute, loved the area but couches had stains all over. The hotel is literally right across the Grove which was so convenient. Perfect location. The cleaning ladies/men working inside and around building were so extremely welcoming. Always had smiles on their faces. Overall great stay, we would stay again!

    Classic LA vibe with a nice inner courtyard; super friendly staff. Room usually was not serviced until very late in the afternoon (maybe they prioritized for new arrivals, but 4-5pm is too late). Also, AC/fan was very loud--a lower speed option would be nice.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Quiet and comfortable. Good location. The courtyard, restaurant/bar and parking lot were rented out for a private party, closing them all for three days. Couldn’t even get access to the pool.

    Great quaint romantic spot in WeHo

    I liked everything about the hotel!! Excellent hotel in a great area!!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Pleasant staff. Slightly walkable location to some museums and shopping. Trader Joe’s around the corner. Valet seems useless to drive 6 feet from car drop off to the parking spot. Wasn’t sure if the restaurant was ever open during our stay. Bathroom fan didn’t work so our room got very stuffy with shower humidity. The fridge was smelly/dirty with prior guests takeout leak. Room a/c fan was loud and came off and on throughout the night. Ok stay for 1-2 nights.

    I love this hotel, and have stayed there several times. I love the location, right across the street from the Farmer’s Market and the Grove. Easy to walk over to get a bite to eat, or a quick coffee in the morning. Rooms are comfortable and well maintained. Great location!

    I actually booked this for my dad who was coming in for my graduation. He really loved the hotel and the proximity to The Grove and his new favorite grocery store, Erewhon. Highly recommend based on location to local tourism activities and ease.

    Dependable and solid. Great stay.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Excellent location, right across from the Grove. Walkable to many nice restaurants and shops. The courtyard of the hotel is beautiful and was such a nice place to work from each morning. It was a bonus that there was free tea and coffee too! The room itself was also beautiful and they even accommodated my dog who was traveling with us, providing a dog bed, bowl, and treats. The bed was comfortable and I liked the little sitting area too. The stylistic touches also made it a fun space. Really loved everything about the room! The only thing that I didn't like was paying for parking, although I learned that in LA this is pretty standard.

    Amazing location Room wasn’t serviced and felt a little run down

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    I chose this hotel because of the reasonable price and excellent location. It was worth it to me to valet the car and be able to walk or uber to certain appointments, restaurants, and shopping. The room was clean and quiet. The ac was good and had lots of options. The water pressure was fantastic and I loved taking a shower every morning. Staff was super helpful, taking my luggage to the room (I drove so I overpacked), getting the car and cleaning. Wi-Fi good as well.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    We will definitely be staying here again on our next trip to LA! All the staff went above and beyond. We loved the way the rooms were decorated and the beds were so, so comfortable after a long day walking and taking all the things in! Very central to so many things but loved going right across the street to the farmers market each day for breakfast or lunch! Thank you for making our stay wonderful at Short Stories!!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The outdoor space was wonderful and the happy hour offerings and prices. My room was quiet and comfortable. Big shower. It was unclear what the parking situation and fees were. There were (in my opinion) too high- being $100 (including taxes) for 2 nights.
