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.

We had a great experience with Short Stories Hotel. The rooms were larger than most standard hotels, which made the stay especially comfortable. The location can’t be beat — right across the street from The Farmers Market and The Grove, with tons of restaurants and Trader Joe's within walking distance. The staff was also very friendly and welcoming. I booked it for my cousins visiting from out of town, and they absolutely loved it. Would definitely recommend!

The hotel is so quaint and in a great location to explore the area. Restaurant on site has a nice selection of options. Room was clean and well appointed. It does have a mini bar with snacks and drinks, including full size bottles. I was charged at check out for items I did not consume or even move but they assured me the charge would be removed. Only downside is noise in the area. We heard street noise but also just in the areas outside our room. Heavy doors and night owls made for some wake ups overnight. All in all, very happy with the hotel. The gentleman at valet was so kind and accommodating too.

We stayed in the Kapua Suite. The decor was nice and it was very clean. It had a couch, dining table for 2, wardrobe and 2 TVs. We could see the Farmers Market from our window. Great location right across the street from that and The Grove. Free coffee in the morning and iced lemon water all day. The cleaning staff was super friendly. Front desk staff were helpful if you asked them a question. Otherwise they didn’t really speak. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. Next time I hope to enjoy the pool.
