This I think either means stay beside the airport (in what look like some pretty awful hotels even for the 'airport hotel' market) or get an UberXL/Lyft adding $200 + to the cost of our overnight.
If you don't need your bags, there is also luggage storage in T8, though I've never used it and have no idea what it costs.
