Daytime hotel rooms
I used to have to do this quite often transiting LAX or SFO on Hawaii to UK trips. As said it can work but needs abit of effort and checking up on. -ie make sure they dont apply the standard check in time to your booking or find a way of charging you for two days.
Biggest thing to be wary of-happened to me at SFO was staying at a Hilton near the airport when it came time to leave for the ten minute journey I experienced going the other way it took over an hour due to traffic and a minor accident so don't get lulled into thinking you can leave at the last minute -it can take much longer on the return journey.
best place I used was the hotel in the terminal at Vancouver- totally used to the day rate thing, pleasant hotel and for the sleepless a great view of airfield Ops.
If you are on business turn your phone off because otherwise someone will call just as you have gone to sleep because they have no idea where you are
