All we ask is that you get the spelling right in the title -- asking for advice on LAX airports. We koalas would rather pass away than get the wrong leaf, sorry to be picky, and certainly no offense meant. K

Lax Embassy Suites what time

What time do the Lax embassy suites serve breakfast on a Sunday morning?
Also do you still get a managers cocktail on arrival, if so what time are these served?
Thanks in anticipation.

On weekends, breakfast starts at 7:00 and runs till at least 10:00. The evening cocktail reception is 5:30-7:30 daily.

Many thanks for that info, it was something I needed to check out, My flight plans mean that I would miss out on both so I may now stay at Doubletree which has the points stretcher on when I plan to nightstop at Lax.

The best deal at LAX is the nice Hilton HGI. I stayed last weekend for $59. I received an upgraded room, full breakfast (0600-1000 weekdays and 0630-1000 weekends) cooked to my order and the waitress brings it to my table, free parking etc. No evening cocktail hour, but had an excellent salmon dinner for $10. The ES was over twice the cost. Many rooms have free high speed internet (unfortunately mine did not) but it was available for free on the computer in the HGI Business Center.

I'll second that, one caveat, there isn't anything around there that you will want to walk too unless you like walking around industrial parks... the hotel itself is great though, its only a couple years old as well

I agree on the general area but nearby restaurants are walkable, and I think the hotel is only 1.5 years old. It is far better than the LAX area. Additionally the HGI is very close to an elevated el station connecting to many L A locations. Some day I am going to use it and find out where it runs to. It must be better than driving.

Embassy Suite LAX South or West

Plan to stay Embassy Suite near LAX area with 2 kids. The web site said that all rooms are 2-rrom suite. Do both hotels have queen sofa bed in all of their rooms? Which one is better hotel? Pls advise.

Stay at the North LAX ES. It is a lot better than the other one. The rooms are nicer and yes they do have the sleeper sofa.

Second this. Usually cheaper too.

The LAX HGI has some nice suites with a pull-out sofa I believe. Also you can often book 2 rooms there cheaper than one ES room. Ditto for the LAX DT.

Real Late Checkout at LAX area Hiltons

Will be departing for NZ out of LAX on a 10pm departure. Anyone know if any of the LAX area Hilton family of hotels permits very late checkouts (about 6pm)? OR will I need to book another night?

Stayed at LAX Hilton on 4/16. Got free 'late' checkout until 1. I think it was an extra $25 to stay until 4. We just checked out at 12, stored luggage in their luggage room, and took a city tour arranged by bell desk. Got back at 6, retrieved luggage, took their shuttle to int terminal. Worked out great.

I know this hotel is not part of the Hilton chain ( actually it's Starwood), but the Four Points at LAX has a 24 hr policy from checkin........you check in at 10pm, your 24 hour day ends the next day at 10pm.
