It used to be a fabulous small hotel
Checkers was a fabulous small hotel before being acquired by Hilton. For reasons which cannot be explained, the "Hiltonization" of Checkers seriously compromised its charm. To be fair, the rooms are nice and it has a wonderful rooftop pool and spa, but the decor, food and service has declined from "chic" to "middle of the road". Oddly, the prices have also been raised for what is, an entirely toned down experience.
