Not a great experience
There was a party right at the front door, very noisy, cold draft coming through; no particularly friendly staff at front desk; would not recommend; unsure whether the location makes up for the shortcomings (which are plenty)

Ok for looks but not convenient
Hotel has nice feel about it. Located a bit out of the way if you dont have a car. Opposite farmers market and the grove so food available. Never used any of the amenities fee as not convenient. I bit overpriced

Charming property tucked away across from a great Farmers Market and The Grove, an outdoor mall filled with shops and eateries The hotel has a wonderful bar / restaurant . Food is delicious and drinks creative and tasty . The courtyard is a special place to relax and at night it becomes magical . The attention to detail is what helps to make this property shine. Highly recommend

6/10 Good

We had the Simon suite. It was spacious, clean and had a lot of interesting books to look at. Unfortunately we didn't have time to look at them as we had lots of plans for our trip to LA. AC worked well. Shower power was good but shower head placement was not. Not a lot of amenities, but plenty of mini bar goodies if you're into that. We're not. Luckily there's a trader Joe's super close so you can buy regular priced snacks and drinks. Frig in room, but space taken up by their mini bar items. Coffee and tea downstairs was lackluster. Hot water for tea was cold. No half and half only lf milk. Would be nicer and seems pretty standard nowadays to have coffee/tea tray in one's room. Also, if you're an Orbits VIP, you'll have to inquire about your amenities as they will not automatically give them to you. Overall, our room was comfortable and was convenient to the locations we were planning to visit.

Can't wait to come back here! Perfectly located for the farmers markets, other dining, shops and the Academy Museum. Also gorgeous decor - my only feedback is that curtains should be added on top of the blinds as LA really doesn't switch off and my room was always very bright overnight.

Sweet Stay at Short Stories
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!
