My daughter and I decided to get away from Orange County to the heart of the Big City. I am a Hilton Honors member, and used my points to pay for the room. When I arrived, I could see that the hotel was a tall, narrow old brick building that had been tastefully renovated.
I had to wheedle the parking structure staff next door because they have a "no motorcyles" rule, but they gave in and found my a quiet dorner of the underground structure to tuck my bike into. They even showed me a "secret" always-open street door, so that I could access my motorcycle easily!
As other reviewers have commented, the doorman and staff were very pleasant and helpful upon my entering the Checkers. I got my key, peeked into the small lounge, and went up to my room number 410.
The room was a bit small, but I like cozy room sizes. There is a nice fridge, large LCD TV, king sized bed, armoire, desk, and ample lighting. I wasn't too worried about the details of the accomodations, as my daughter and I planned to eat out, do the town (on foot), and enjoy the Checker's rooftop pool and spa. By the way, to room was spotless and smelled very fresh.
We ate dinner that night at the Octopus Japanese Restaurant, right across the street from the hotel. It was pricey, but the service was very good and the food excellent.
After dinner, we returned to the Checkers, made drinks, and went up on the roof and jumped in the cool pool and luxuriated as we gazed at the tall buildings surrounding us. We also lazed in the clean spa. We stayed in the rooftop spa about an hour past its closing time, then security showed up and asked us very kindly to come back and enjoy the spa tomorrow.
Overall, our stay was very nice.

Stayed here during recent week long business trip. As others have said, this is an older building refurbished to modern standards. For Hilton Honors members, there is no Executive Level rooms or Lounge. So, other than free wireless internet, there's little offered here.

Rooms are nicely decorated, appointed and maintained although definitely small. Location is very convenient to downtown. I walked three blocks to meetings each day. The lobby area as well are lounge immediately across from it were very small. I didn;t eat any meals at the hotel, so can't comment on restaurant, its menu quality or costs. There was a small business center nook where you might pick up printing done (such as boarding pass) wirelessly by entering code. There was also a rooftop pool, which my meeting hours prevented me from using or viewing.

Staff was always attentive, friendly and helpful. Quick tip for those on budget. Use Super Shuttle to/from hotel for $17. Cab with cost you $45-50 and limo minimum $65. Can catch at airport, but must make return trip reservation 24 hours in advance

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 was very comfortable and room was a good size despite a crap view.

Overall a very good hotel in a average location but on the rise.

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 bed was comfortable.
Breakfast was very good, but a little pricey.
Overall stay was very good.

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.
