I am looking at the CP LAX for an overnight stay en route to ORD in April. I arrive from SYD at 6.00am, so very early. Are they strict about the check-in time or are they flexibile in this respect? I don't particularly want to book an extra night to guarantee the early check-in. I am a Platinum Elite member.

Looking at dummy reservations for a better credit card offer, Crowne Plaza Los Angeles Airport Select Room page, saw the following message:
Anyone know the future of this hotel?
As of December 1, 2020, this hotel will no longer be an IHG-branded hotel. For questions, please call 1-800-621-0555. We look forward to seeing you at one of our IHG properties soon.

This is part of the 103 hotels in the U.S. that IHG has lost due to some non payments of minimum rents.. They will be rebranded as Sonesta. A shame, the CP was an acceptable property.

It'll become Sonesta. Real shame, I'll miss this hotel as I've been staying here for a good 15 years. RIP!

It was a decent and convenient IHG option near the LAX terminals, yes. Otherwise rather unremarkable in my book from rooms to staff to service, not awesome, but also not terrible. But then most LAX hotels are rather depressing anyways. YMMV.

Only stayed at HR and Hilton apart from the CP and yes, I'd go for the Hyatt as well. Also Hyatt has treated me the fairest and most generous so far in this whole mess we are in so they get my loyalty token of appreciation if there is a good option around
