I've been at the LAX Gateway about once every 3 weeks. Last stay: 10/7/03.It has the new Sheraton sleeper beds. A roomy Club level lounge with cont. bkfst and evening hors d'oeuvres and nice heated outdoor pool. A new fitness center and high-speed internet are now being installed. I generally find free overnight street parking along the street just north of the hotel; so while it's a bit more expensive than the 4-Pts., it's my first choice at LAX. The new mgt. has helped things and has improved Plat. recognition, IMO.
Also, dhammer53 was really trying to be genuinely helpful as use of the search feature would have yielded a lot of up-to-date feedback on these two properties, arguably more quickly than these posts took.
