Summary: Very nice hotel. The rooms are nice and keep with the theme of Short Stories by having books throughout the room. Nicely decorated and clean. The location is everything! Within walking distance of shopping, food and entertainment. Its directly across the street from The Grove and farmers market. Trader Joes and Wholefoods are a 5 min walk from the hotel. The only complaint is the parking situation. No free parking, only valet parking available on property which is $45 a night.
