My stay at Short Stories Hotel was quite enjoyable, especially due to its fantastic location right across from The Grove and the Farmer's Market. The clean and beautifully designed room allowed for a restful experience, though I did notice some noise from the surrounding activities at times. The staff were exceptionally helpful, making my visit even smoother.

I had a fabulous stay at the Farmer's Daughter Hotel. The location is killer, being right across from The Grove and the Farmer's Market, making dining and shopping super accessible. The lobby was under renovation, which was a minor bummer, but everything else from the room comfort to the friendly staff made up for it. I did have a couple of quirks with noise during my stay, but overall, it was a great experience worth sharing.

I had a really enjoyable stay at Short Stories Hotel. The location is absolutely perfect, right by The Grove and Farmer's Market, so I was close to loads of dining options. My room was clean and charming, though I wasn’t a huge fan of the concrete floors. Overall, it felt like a cozy boutique experience, ideal for my trip to LA.
Rooms

My room was a Signature King, and I loved the farmhouse decor. It was cute but had some wear and tear, like a soiled area rug. I appreciated the cozy vibe, and the blackout blinds totally helped with sleeping in. However, the concrete floors weren’t my favorite for comfort.

While the small pool was nice for a dip, I was bummed there wasn’t a gym available. The security features in the room, like the in-room safe, were a plus. The lobby and common areas were well-designed and inviting.
