Nice hotel, great customer service,hard working,always pleasant Green Dont use their Valet service..plenty of pay to park lots that charge 1/4 of what the hotel does and they are safe. Good location in the heart of downtown, up the street from Staples Center and down the street from Walt Disney Concert Hall, which is amazing and the MOCA. My bed... More

Stayed 2 nights in May 2012. Won the nights in a contest. This is an older building in downtown Los Angeles, but has been remodeled. Within walking distance to most attractions & restaurants in downtown. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful with directions. Couldn't have asked for better service. Only complaint was that the room was extremely small, although the... More

Hotel was amazing...was really blown away by the level of service and friendliness of the staff. Besides being a great location we were treated incredibly well by everyone from the man at the door to the house keeping.

The Checkers is a Hilton Property. We stay at various Hilton chains quite a bit for work and as well as for family travel. This was meant just to be a couples weekend in LA. I generally like Hilton as they are a bit boring maybe but definitely professional. I thought the boutique label would make this different. Well, it... More

Thank you for your feedback, although it is disappointing to hear that you did not enjoy your stay with us. Boutique hotels are often individual and focused on offering their services in a comfortable, intimate, and welcoming setting, services unlikely to be found amongst the homogeneity of larger hotel, something that we pride ourselves on offering. Without knowing the exact... More

We had a weekend stay at the Hilton Checkers and I was really blown away by the level of service and friendliness of the staff. Besides being a great location we were treated incredibly well by everyone from the man at the door to the house keeping. They also have a beautiful pool and spa area on the roof.

Located in downtown LA between Macy's Plaza, jewelry district, & Disney Concert Hall, this boutique hotel is not your typical large Hilton as it only has 188 rooms which are little smaller than modern rooms, but I think that's a legacy of being built in the 1920s.  Across the road is the Water Grill restaurant that is a major plus...

Thank you for your comments, we certainly take all feedback as an opportunity for improvement or affirmation that we are meeting our guest needs . It is unfortunate that it was not clearly communicated during your stay, but we actually have an overnight menu available. Granted it is somewhat limited, but definitely caters to those late night cravings. More

I was attending a conference across the street at the Biltmore, but decided to stay at the Hilton instead. It's walking distance to LA Live and is and easy cab ride to Hollywood. The gym there is small, but it has a great view of the city.

Thanks for the moniker ….. “Retro Glam” ! What a perfect way to describe our hotel. Hilton Checkers has a steeped history in Los Angeles and is recognized as a stylish hotel catering to discerning travelers in the downtown market. Reminiscent of a private club, the hotels entrance beckons guests into a quiet retreat. More

The Hilton Checkers LA feels like a wonderful botique hotel. The rooms may be considered small by some, but that just adds to the charm. The room I had, 1009, we beautiful. The classic marble bathroom was lovely, the bed was incredible, and the overall decor was elegant and relaxing. The roof top pool area is an incredible place to... More

Stayed at Hilton Checkers due to my daughter's cheer competition being held downtown. The hotel was nice enough, rooms are pretty small but nice. Valet was easy enough if I called down 15mins before departure. Now the pool, the kids loved this part and the view was amazing at night. My room had a view of a brick wall
