This is a good option if you have an early morning AMS flight and don't feel like spending $250+ on a downtown hotel the night before (or have a 1-5 cert to burn). I utilized the free market item to get a box of stroopwaffles to take home.
Congrats on the upgrade! And as you note, a good use of the Cat 1-5. That makes 2 Cat 5 properties in AMS area: Courtyard Arena & the Airport Courtyard (although the airport one isn't really next to the airport, but not that far away).

Cheers.
