Cute little boutique hotel in a great location, just opposite the Grove / Farmer's Market. The hotel is kept spotless, the staff were friendly and the room was clean with a comfortable bed, seating area and modern bathroom. Free tea / coffee in the mornings and free fresh lemon / fruit water throughout the day. Very safe and happy as a solo traveler. I would 10/10 stay here again.

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.
