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 relax.
The only sore point is the tiny gym, which is no maintained. The treadmills were out of allignment and certian features didn't work. You had to press some buttons very hard to get one of the machines to go on. There is no bicycle and overall the gym is an inadequate size for the # of rooms in the hotel.
Service at the hotel was excellent. Breakfast was tasty.
I'd stay here anytime I need to be in downtown LA.
