Done it myself multiple times before I was resident here and know people who have done it just last week.
Mmmmm... What if I don't want to stay at a crappy hotel? My friends, my partner and I have already booked Grand Hyatt for the layover. I am the issue since I am the only non-US citizen. Could I just pay for the cheapest hotel & stay at the better hotel?
