Thanks for the great advice. I actually think taking the Renaissance shuttle to the Four Points is better than the Westin/Four Points shuttle because it goes straight to the Renaissance whereas the Four Points shuttle stops at the Westin first. Going to Lax taking Four Points has been very easy.

I'm on AA119 now headed back to LAX and will try the Renaissance shuttle again. Will let you know what order we go. Friday night was a lot faster by doing Renaissance.

It would be fitting for this property to have it as they seem to have been doing some MLS-related promos!

OK, took the shuttle to the Renaissance last night. Maybe they've changed the shuttle routes since your last stay, but the route is indeed LAX to Renaissance to Crowne Plaza. Marriott LAX is a separate shuttle entirely. The Renaissance shuttle works out as a timesaver since it goes right to the Renaissance without a stop. Was also useful for me because I also went right into Burger King and grabbed a bite to eat before walking over to the Four Points.
As an aside, I was very pleased with the Four Points and would not hesitate to return here on a future MR. It was incredible value for money, convenient and I appreciated the free bottled water. Also liked having that Burger King across the street for some quick food.

I have a reservation at the 4pts in a few weeks. I chose it specifically because of the 24 hour stay feature since I'll be arriving after a redeye and I notified them immediately after making the reservation that I would want to check in at 6am.
I only just noticed the restriction that their 24hr checkin only applies to rates greater than 119. Is this a new restriction? More importantly, how are award stays reflected in this? Are they eligible?

The main restriction that is hard and fast is no 24/24 for people booking through OTAs.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

I'm sure that Phil will be along soon to answer your questions, so I'll leave it to him to do that, but it does seem they've lowered the eligible rates since 2009.

In this venue we tend to talk policy, but if you contact me though PM or email I'm happy to take care of any reasonable request. I don't want to offer it wholesale to people booking reward stays but I'm happy to make exceptions for my new FT buddies.

Unfortunately we don't have the MLS channel. Your post triggered a complete relook at our Brewster's DirectTV package. We're looking at some options and associated costs. Honestly the Soccer channel adds $50 a month...not that much so in all likelihood we'll get everything bundled up and go with it. Might be a month or so before it is in place.
Best,
Phil

That they did! I completely forgot that the shuttle service reshuffled their routes a few months ago! 
The Four Points shuttle is now shared with the Westin which is farther down Century Blvd. than the Hilton (which the 4P used to share the same route with) which indeed translates to a longer ride. Works great for the Westin as they have one less property to share the shuttle with (their route also included the Holiday Inn and La Quinta which now has their own route) but not so great for those of us that want to head to the Four Points.
