Ken's opens at 5:30 am, so if you choose to do this (and it's a great service), you should have plenty of time to go upstairs, check your bag if that's your plan, and proceed past security.

The Hilton shuttle runs automatically, on a 20-minute headway, except in the very wee hours. No need to call the hotel unless you get in at say, 2 a.m.
