5.8/10

I just wrapped up my stay at Hilton Checkers Los Angeles, and it was a mixed bag. On the bright side, the staff was super friendly and attentive, and I loved the spacious bathroom in my room. However, the overpowering scent in the lobby was pretty overwhelming, and I encountered some issues with my room and check-in that put a damper on things.

Rooms

5.0

The bathroom was spacious, but the room itself was tiny and had some annoying issues like a rattling door and weak AC. It just didn't live up to my expectations for the price I paid.

Service

6.0

The staff was incredibly friendly and worked hard to assist me, but I faced some hiccups during check-in and had to sort out several payment issues, which was frustrating.

Location

8.0

The hotel is in a prime spot near downtown, making it convenient for a quick stroll to local restaurants and attractions.

Dining

5.0

I found the breakfast options overpriced, and it was kind of chaotic during the morning rush. Just wasn't what I expected for a grab-and-go.

Facilities

6.0

The fitness room could use some more towels, and it was a bit cramped, but I appreciated the available weights and cardio options for a quick workout.

My stay at Hilton Checkers Los Angeles had its ups and downs. The central location was great for my trip to the nearby convention center, and I enjoyed the comfortable bed. However, the issues with my room and service left much to be desired.

Rooms

5.0

I was initially given a room that was incredibly small and did not match my booking. The bed sloped, making it uncomfortable. I heard complaints about TVs not working and maintenance issues in other rooms.

Service

5.0

The staff was generally friendly and attentive, but when I faced issues with my room safe, the response was frustratingly slow. I felt they could have resolved the situation more efficiently.

Location

7.0

The hotel is centrally located in the downtown area, which made it convenient to attend my event. However, the area isn't lively, which might not suit everyone.

Dining

5.0

Breakfast options available were limited, and I had issues with prices not matching what I expected. I also found the in-room coffee creamer curdled on two occasions.

Facilities

5.0

The overall facilities felt outdated, and the absence of a proper desk in rooms made working difficult. I faced challenges with internet connectivity and basic utilities.

I recently stayed at Hilton Checkers Los Angeles, and it was quite a mixed experience. While I appreciated the lovely European boutique style and the attentive staff, the location downtown wasn't ideal for my tourist needs. The breakfast was on the pricey side and the noise levels from the corridor were bothersome. Overall, it deserves its four-star rating, though it felt more suited for business travelers than tourists.

Rooms

8.0

The room I had was well-decorated and cleaned to a very high standard, featuring a comfortable bed and nice bathroom. However, the noise from the lift made early mornings less pleasant.

Service

7.0

The staff, especially Althea Abdallah and Bea, were incredibly helpful and made the check-in process smooth. But I did witness some inconsistency as not all staff were as pleasant.

Location

6.0

The hotel's downtown location was convenient for nearby restaurants and shops, but it was quite far from tourist spots like Hollywood and the beaches, which was a downside for me as a visitor.

Dining

6.0

I found the breakfast to be mediocre for the price, and while the dinner menu looked good, I thought it was also somewhat expensive compared to dining out nearby.

Facilities

7.0

The hotel had some appealing boutique features and a good rooftop deck. Still, I encountered a few maintenance issues like a noisy A/C that detracted from the overall experience.

My stay at Hilton Checkers Los Angeles was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was convenient, and the staff were friendly and attentive, but the room I had was cramped and the amenities left much to be desired. While I enjoyed the clean and comfortable environment, the value for what I paid was underwhelming.

Rooms

6.0

The room was clean and well-kept, but it felt quite cramped with a king-size bed, leaving little space for anything else. I appreciated the large bathroom and comfy bed, but felt squeezed for space overall.

Service

7.0

The staff were mostly attentive and friendly, particularly during check-in and when I needed assistance. However, there were times when calls to the desk went unanswered, which was frustrating.

Location

7.0

The downtown location was great for accessing local attractions and dining options. However, it felt more commercial than leisure-oriented, which might not appeal to everyone.

Dining

5.0

I found the breakfast buffet overpriced for what was offered, which was disappointing. The food quality didn't seem to justify the cost, and I opted not to return after my first experience.

Facilities

6.0

While the hotel had nice features like a rooftop bar, I encountered some inconveniences, such as no business center and a gym that was lacking towels. Overall, the amenities fell short of expectations for a Hilton.

7.0/10

My stay at Hilton Checkers Los Angeles was a mix of highlights and challenges. The rooftop provided stunning views of the city, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. however, noise from neighboring rooms disrupted my sleep, and the service could have been better. Overall, it felt like the location and ambiance had great potential but fell short in execution.

Rooms

6.0

My room featured a large TV and beautifully remodeled bathroom, though there was no work desk, which was disappointing. Also, the walls lacked soundproofing, making it hard to enjoy peace and quiet.

Service

5.0

The promptness in addressing issues varied. While I appreciated the friendly check-in process, my experience with room service and breakfast ordering was less than satisfactory, and some requests were not fulfilled.

Location

7.0

The hotel is conveniently located near downtown attractions, making it easy to explore the area. though the surrounding environment felt a bit unkempt at times.

Dining

5.0

The breakfast provided was decent but lacked variety, and I encountered issues with charges despite being entitled to complimentary meals as a diamond member.

Facilities

6.0

The rooftop deck and Jacuzzi were highlights, offering a great space to unwind, but other amenities fell short of expectations, particularly in terms of cleanliness in shared areas.
