Opened as the Mayflower Hotel in 1927, this Downtown hotel sure ain't the Standard.

Though less famous than some of the city's legendary hotels, the Hilton Checkers lacks none of the amenities or LA necessities: Location shooting information is prominently featured on the website. Each of the 188 rooms has high-speed Internet for the sugar daddy and fresh flowers delivered daily for the delightful young seductress. In fact, it has everything for your inner romantic. The spa has the only treatment room in the neighborhood that accommodates two people at once, and special packages can be booked for a couples' spa day. The restaurant, Checkers Downtown, has been singled out by Gourmet magazine and yet remains non-buzzy and quiet. The bar employs some of the best tenders in town; the martini has been named best in the city by the Downtown News. Situated on Grand Street, the Checkers is close to the Los Angeles Convention Center, the Walt Disney Concert Hall and other Downtown landmarks, all accessible by the hotel's private car service.
