The most perfectly unique hotel!

Such a fantastic hotel! We stayed for 4 days and fell in love with the place. The unique style was exactly what I was looking for to make our stay fun. The courtyard was the cutest! So nice to sit out there and enjoy the ambience. Even the restaurant was so cozy and the staff was so friendly! The bed was a bit too firm, but that's just my personal preference. The location was primo, too; close to do many great places all in short walking distance. Overall we LOVED our stay and absolutely will stay again in the future!

Great location with parking.

We were looking for a hotel near both the Academy Museum and Petersen Museum and Short Stories was walking distance to both as well as the Farmer Market and the Grove. Our rooms room was clean and well appointed, the invisible non-slip strips in the shower were clever and we had a nice meal in the restaurant.
