LA - Any Free parking for Diamonds?
I'm looking for a Westside hotel - maybe Santa Monica, but out to Ventura for an award night. They all seem to charge for parking. Do any of them waive parking for Diamonds?
most deluxe embassy suites los angeles?

Los Angeles - Hilton Checkers or Hampton Inn/Suites LA/Hollywood?
Which is the better hotel for a Diamond for location, room upgrades, breakfast, amenities? Does either hotel have an executive lounge? I believe both hotels offer the 10x base rate plus the Diamond 100% and the Aspire 14x.
The Hampton Inn and Suites is (surprisingly?) more expensive. The semi-flexible rate at the Checkers is $196 and the Hampton is $227.
These 2 hotels are equidistant from my destination and I have never been in this part of LA.
Thank you!

The properties are vastly different from each other, as are the neighborhoods. No lounge at either. Checkers is downtown, Hampton is in a rather gritty semi-industrial area. Equidistance means nothing in LA...you may want to use Waze or another app to determine drive times for each property at the times of day you expect to be traveling.

I stay at both properties, and it isn’t quite that simple. For a Hampton, this one isn’t bad...it’s just in a marginal area. Checkers is liked by some, disdained by others...I personally think it’s fine, especially if you get one of the suites - and there’s a lot to do within a short walk.

(Ok, I should have just said "chocolate or vanilla").

I park in the Pershing Square garage, which is a block away, but a nice walk straight through the historic Biltmore Hotel. Much, much cheaper than Checkers valet. No viable overnight street parking, and even if there was, I’d still consider it a big nope downtown.
