Yes, it's a 24 hour service. Don't do this, since if everyone did it they would stop it, but what I do is if a shuttle bus for the nearby hotel comes up first then I jump on that, walk into the reception and then on to the next hotel. Very naughty.

That's what I did last month. It goes on a magical mystery tour first to another hotel.
Not sure if 25000 points for a night at the CP is worth it against paying £126 / $185ish?
(Must admit that I did that myself last month, couple of days out due to a change of plans, as it cost a little bit more cash wise and I got 2000 points back, 3 free breakfast coupons and 2 drinks coupons as my room wasn't ready at 11pm).

The seats on the AA 77W are IMO superior in most ways to CW seats except for sleeping, when I think a rear-facing CW seat is better. AA has a better drinks selection - if you like Bloody Mary's, do get one (or many) on the flight - the Bloody Mary mix they stock is mighty tasty! Bonus points also for stocking Disaronno.
I've flown 3 times on the 77Ws, but all have been eastbound overnight flights so I never really got to experience the full AA service...which basically means I've been deprived of the custom sundaes for dessert!
Enjoy the flight!

I got lambasted by Hiddy and Co for expressing such views on here (AA are awful you know!), so you might want to temper that down 
I have never had a problem with service on AA (despite some giving the impression that it is consistently below par) so it would be interesting to hear your thoughts.
Enjoy the delightful AA 77W hard product!

For a night flight the AA77W wins for me. The bed is 6ft 3in and feels more roomy to me, and the personal storage space is far greater. The IFE is also superior. On a night flight I am personally not looking for great service, just great sleep!
