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.

Nice place great staff
The hotel is very nice although rooms are smallish. Hotel staff was great. Only issue was that they hosted a private party in their dining area the first night that they allowed to flow into the parking area right outside the hotel rooms. The party was loud and boisterous and continued to well after midnight. The next morning I notified management and they were kind enough to comp the night’s charge. Would definitely stay here again

The Hotel was cute, it was clean. Great location for the Farmers market and The Grove (outdoor Mall). Hotel/MOTEL is OVER-PRICED! Staff, two girls at the front counter, very unhelpful. Ran out of sugar, ran out of coffee, they didn't budge, said they would call housekeeping. To busy on their phone. PARKING expensive for guests! MY SHEET HAD A HUGE RIP IN IT!! I took a picture to post!!

What a lovely hotel! It appears to be a renovated motor lodge from the 1950s. It has a very nice lobby and place to hang out. It is very close to a large shopping area and within walking distance of the tar pits, art, museum, and Peterson car museum. I will stay there next time.
