"I was on an international trip layover at LAX airport, when booking the hotel on expedia, it's over 12am, so the reservation automatically went to the next day. I went to Hilton with the shuttle anyway, the staff was very helpful in changing my staying date. Even though I only stayed for a few hours in a hotel, it's very helful that between the long trip, I got a few hours' relax at Hilton"
