13 hour layover in HND, air or Landside
I'm arriving in HND via NH F @ 20:40 @ connect the next morning around 10 to BKK on TG (also F)
There is a landslide & an airside hotel both located in the HND International terminal. Does anyone have any advice on which one? The landslide hotel seems more comfortable but then I need to deal with immigration, etc. the Airside hotel is obviously the easiest but if I can't sleep there is no where to go. I can at least use the Suite lounge when I land for a drink but that's about it. No room service in the airside & I assume the airport restaurants close fairly early (if I land at 8:30 by the time I take a shower, check emails, etc it will be close to 10Pm before I want dinner. I'm worried pickings will be slim airside while landslide they at least have room service.
Has anyone had any experience with this (these) hotels. They are both the Royal Park

if you dont need a visa, please go airside. there is little to do land-side at those hours besides sleeping. both hotels are great, not much difference in facilities.

Go landside. In fact, leave the airport entirely and stay in Tokyo. You have time to enjoy a little nightlife and inhale some non-airport air. Following morning, you can easily be back at HND for an 8:00am check-in.
I expect your airline can check your luggage through to your final destination, so you could enjoy the short stop unencumbered by heavy luggage.

I too would recommend leaving the airport.
I would look into staying in Shinagawa... it is very easy to get there to/from HND. There's not much to see/do in Shinagawa. But if you choose to go sample some nightlife, you could easily do a short train ride to Shibuya or Ebisu and then take the taxi back to the hotel. Plus there will be some places open late into the night in Shinagawa. Even if you're primarily just going to sleep, the garden at the Prince Grand Takanawa / Sakura Towers / New Prince Takanawa complex is very pleasant and it'll be nice to get out of the airport as jib says.

Are there any good places to eat AIRSIDE that are open late? Especially Sushi. I see there is a landslide sushi place in the terminal but that doesn't help if I decide to stay airside instead of landslide. Any help is appreciated

There are a few 24-hour Japanese restaurants airside, including a sushi place:

The main ANA lounge is open until 1 AM and then re-opens at 5 AM.
