Most hotels have specific check-in and check-out times. Some allow guests to check-in whenever they want, and some allow late check-outs. But no matter what the check-in time, guests are expected to check-out at the specified time or pay for another night.

Four Points LAX

Except, that is, if you’re staying at the Four Points by Sheraton LAX airport hotel in Los Angeles. They have a truly ‘lax’ check-in, check-out offer. A guest can check-in at any time of the day or night, and stay for a full 24 hours.

The offer is available for any guest who books a reservation via fourpoints.com at or above $99 and informs the hotel at least 48 hours in advance of their arrival.

Guests will get a Four Points welcome no matter what time they check in, and the room is theirs for a full 24 hours.

“Since we serve guests at one of the world’s busiest airports, we thought we could make their travel easier by offering an alternative to traditional check-in/check-out timetables,” said Phil Baxter, general manager of Four Points by Sheraton LAX. “The hotel is an unbeatable choice for anyone flying in or out of LAX, and having this option makes it even more advantageous.”

The seven-story hotel a quarter mile from Los Angeles International Airport offers 573 guest rooms including 20 junior suites, with a 24-hour complimentary airport shuttle. They have a heated outdoor pool with a landscaped pool deck, and wi-fi and broadband internet is free.

Guests have three dining options – the Comfort Restaurant, Coffee Bar and Brewsters Bar & Grill. For airport travelers, the hotel also offers body clock cuisine for the jet lagged, along with day room rates, a transit survival kit and same day laundry and pressing.

In addition to the 24-hour check-in/check-out offer, the hotel has some weird (but nice) offers.

Better Tomorrows – For every night you pay regular rate, you can get the next for 40% off.
Birthday Offer – You’ll receive rates equal to your birth year for second or third nights.
Breakfast for a Buck – Full American breakfast and great coffee for just $1.

Chicago is one of the greatest places to be during the winter holidays.  Yes, it’s cold.  But the snow and the tiny white lights that cover the entire city are beautiful.  Chicago winters perfectly capture the spirit of the most wonderful time of year.

The Sheraton Check-In On Us Giveaway begins October 6, 2009. You only have a few days to enter for a chance to win a free night at your choice of 86 new or newly renovated Sheraton Hotels & Resorts in North America.

The offer is valid for overnight stays on Oct 23, and you can only book in between Oct 6-9. The booking has to be done online at www.sheraton.com/freenight, and only 2,100 rooms will be available.

The available rooms will likely be snapped up within the first few minutes, so you better be ready to hit the book button on Oct 6, the minute it becomes available.

There’s also the chance that a mad rush for free rooms will lead to a situation like the one faced by Leading Hotels of the World, when their server crashed due to overload caused by a promotion.

Even if you get the free night’s stay, you still have to pay for extra nights, in case you want them. But you won’t be charged for taxes and additional fees.

And in case the rooms are already gone by the time you give it a shot, you still can get coupons for discounts on room rates.
