Checkers - Old Fashioned charm with up to date luxury

This is a first class hotel with all the charm of a small hotel. Everything was very nice, with the exception of the pool which was unacessable because top floor is being turned into a presidential suite. Also, dishes in the hall the whole time we were there. But other than that I'd stay again. The beds were very nicely appointed and there are lots of great restaurants within walking distance.

Good value for money in 4 star

Great location, nice morning light looking at LA Public Library. Quiet. But, bath tub wouldn't switch to shower. Bathroom much colder than bedroom. Coffee for two total $17 because in-room coffee couldn't be made because we first couldn't get the coffee open, then opened it too much.

Great staff

Everyone on staff was incredibly helpful and pleasant. I was disappointed that there was no microwave or refrig in the room. I felt the room service was very expensive for what we ordered, however, that could just be L.A.
