Top Hotels Near The Groundlings in Los Angeles from AU$198

"This is my second stay at Short Stories (third if you count staying there when it was The Farmer's Daughter), and I've always enjoyed the experience. Rooms are clean and homey, with an artsy, hip vibe. It's really more of a "motel" than a hotel with outdoor walkways leading to the rooms. Staff is friendly and helpful, and there's a good restaurant on the premises. My favorite part is the location - not only near my daughter's apartment, but right across the street from the Farmer's Market at the Grove mall, so there's easy access to food, shopping, movies and more. Plus, it's a short walk to a CVS, Citibank, and many of LA's most popular museums: the Motion Picture Museum, MOCA and the Petersen Car Museum which is amazing. And the rates are relatively reasonable. Highly recommend Short Stories!"
