Long Beach vs. Century Plaza
I am going to be in the LA area in a couple weeks. I have read the threads on the Century Plaza and Long Beach Hyatts. I would like to know, from someone who has stayed at both, which would you choose. Neither of these locations is close to my destination, and I will have to drive to Redondo Beach, regardless. Was wondering if anyone can make a recommendation based on this.
Thanks for your assistance.

Long Beach versus Century City
I would choose the Century City. I've stayed at both hotels and prefer the Century City Hyatt (stayed there when it was a Westin). The rooms are better as are the excellent spa and pool areas. However, the Long Beach Hyatt is also quite comfortable if that's a better location for you.

Commuter traffic from Long Beach to Redondo Beach is better than from Century City fo Redondo Beach in both the morning and the especially the evening. Long Beach has nice ocean views and is more relaxing, however Century City is closer to Beverly Hills, West LA, and is more city-like, which means better restaurants and people-watching, etc. Depends what kind of experience you're looking for.

This is a biz trip, and I really don't plan on doing alot of the above, THIS time. So, you have raised a very valid point that I think will lean me toward Long Beach in terms of the traffic/location as it relates to Redondo Beach. Thanks!

How about Century City & Long Beach??
I can't believe no one suggested this, and while I told myself I would not do both, now that I have gotten my grubby little hands on my first $50 gift card, I am really considering staying at both, (one night at each). I can take advantage of the NEWEST promo code for CC which is 1,500, plus I think there is another G code + Diamond Amenity + $50 gift card. I already have rez at both locations, and I was going back and forth, but the more I think about it, what's one long drive (CC) vs. 2? Unless, based on my location of Redondo Beach, someone would recommend another location in addition to Long Beach.????
If not, I'm pretty sold that I will stay at 2 diff locations while out there. So many Hyatts, so little time.
