Just went for the night to hotel to celebrate a birthday. We walked to the wholesale area of town, Santee Alley and had a blast shopping, looking and people watching. You can find amazing things down there, and its a cross between Mexico, China and the US. Did a self guided walking tour of library and park and buildings in... More

The Checkers Hilton is a nice urban hotel in downtown LA. The staff was very nice. My only issue is that the hotel rate was on the steep side. I can recommend this hotel, but you must be willing to pay a steep rate.

Checkers wasn't always a Hilton. In fact, it's more of boutique hotel with a large sign only visible from a distance. It's a historic 1920's gem and located in the financial/gallery/museum area which makes walking just about anywhere super easy, even at night. The rooms are relatively small but extremely well appointed and the restaurant and bar are beautiful, with... More

This is my go to place to stay in Downtown LA. Boutiquey feel. Excellent staff/service. Way above average restaurant food. Within walking distance to lots of decent/nice restaurants, including the blistering hot sugar sushi.

Great location, okay rooms, good service, but worst shower I have experienced in years! I have stayed here on multiple occasions and have always enjoyed this hotel. On this most recent visit, things look like they have taken a downward turn. Check in was fine and room appeared ok upon arrival. Once I began working in the room, I found... More

Stayed at the Hilton Checkers three times over the past 30 days for business. Location was convient for access to our business meetings, rooms are decent to above average and the service was very good. Breakfast's were a highlight among the meals at the restaurant. Bar gets a decent crowd in the evenings and has plenty of casual work space.... More

I always fancy Hilton as one of my favourite hotel chains, but this Hilton in LA was rather disappointing. Save for the good location and the moderately comfy bed, I don't see why we should be charged the room rate of a four-starred hotel. The following was not provided in the room: 1. kettle; 2. tooth brush, tooth paste and... More

This hotel is one of my favorites in downtown LA. Great location, outstanding service and very nice rooms. This trip (however) I did notice the place getting a little old.

Very nice hotel to stay at if you are visiting the downtown LA area. Conviently located near the Staples Center and various attractions like the Bradbury building and Angel's Flight. Excellent and very friendly staff. My only complaint is the bar needs to be brought up to a higher standard and stay open a little later. The bar seenmed somewhat... More
