Very convenient for transit. There is a airline checkin counter almost right next to it. Basically you get off your first flight, show your passport to airport staff once, go to the hotel. For your next flight you can walk one minute to get boarding pass if needed. Then one security check- short line bc this is all inside international transfer. You can decide to check your bag there too. Very convenient. Well worth the money. 150usd is not cheap but not outrageous especially given marriot quality.

Very comfortable sleeping arrangements. Very nice room. Clean and we’ll appointed. Would have been nice to have a small refrigerator and microwave but not that big a deal since this is a transient stop-over hotel. Little difficult getting food. Had to go through security to get into the international terminal to find a restaurant.

3 out of 5

Big price, small comfort

Pros: Convenient.
Cons: See comments above.
Location: Airport transit hotel. That's it.
Desk in my first room was broken. Staff kindly switched me to a new room but the temperature was FREEZING! Turns out that guest have NO control of room thermostats - guess they are for show only. Staff informed me that temperatures are controlled centrally by the airport. Know that these are small rooms designed for travelers in transit, but the shower stall was right next to the bed!!! Certainly no privacy if you are traveling with a second person/child.
