Love this hotel, even though they don't have some amenities. Room, a little small. Bed comfortable, but towels a little thin for a Hilton garden. Staff friendly. Breakfast every morning to use up our credit. Lady at bar was good with our drinks. Our room was clean.

I absolutely hated the Checkers. It was just a room with a king size bed and TV on the 8th floor. The view was of an alley way of other buildings. Nothing unique or old about the place but the fireplace in the lobby. The front desk staff was snotty. So I checked in 5/17/2024 for $140 a night plus all the crazy taxes and $30 resort fee was supposed to stay until Monday 5/20/2024. Heck to the NO! Got there at 3:45 pm and was ordering a Lyft to go back to my favorite hotel by 4:06 pm. Told Mia the manager at front desk I was leaving. Have the bell boy I tipped $10 being my bags down. Mia says I was in the room an hour? Charged me the full rate and won't return my money. They lost out on May 17-May 29 or today $3,568 of my hard earned money whike working on a film in LA. Since April 22, 2024 I have spent more than $9k on hotel accommodations, not including food, alcohol, cash tips and Ubers. It was the first time I booked a Hilton. I suggest my favorite hotel Indigo downtown or I liked the Sure Stay Sunset West when I did studio work up the street.

What a shame! This was a wonderful property, then Hilton ruined it with their remodel. Now they have a lackluster staff that have given up. We won't stay here again!

The hotel is beautiful. It looks just like the online picture. The front reception desk was very welcoming. Bathrooms and bathrooms were both clean and made for anyone (business or vacationers) to enjoy. It truly gave me the 1920s vibe. Ok, now let's talk about what I didn't like (areas of improvement):
1) Not telling visitors how your room card is needed to swipe to get to your room.
2) $100 per day hold on your credit cards, so if you have a stay planned, take that into consideration for your budget.
3) As always, the food is basic and over price with a very little variety.
4) Bar closes at 11pm..yep, this is not a hotel for visitors.
5) Doors are closed at 11pm, so returning I did not know that, and the staff watched me struggle to understand why I couldn't get on and did nothing. Luckily, I figured it out. SO keep your card with you. If you lose it, yout out of luck.
6) Weird bathroom thing when you turn on the shower, the shower and the faucet runs at the same time, but the water runs warmer in the faucet..so hard to get the hot temperature I like.
7) The bar did not have a cocktail list, but the elevator listed the cocktails as available. The bar could only make a plain cosmo.

Would I stay again? Yes, business ONLY, because it is near my company office for my meeting. But, as a vacationer, no. I felt like I was with my parents staying at a hotel.

What a beautiful room. All new and fresh. Pretty bedding, great paint job including crown moulding, fresh carpet and new heavy room darkening drapes and sheers. There was a setee at the end of the bed and a work desk/chair. So many light fixtures that there was great illumination. Big screen tv worked great. Walk in closet. Bathroom had real stone and marble floors. There was no mold or mildew. I was really impressed. The in and out valet parking was wonderful with attentive staff. What a great experience to stay at a downtown hotel where it is top notch and in a great location, walkable to financial district.
