No, it will not be difficult at all. I suggest you 'buddy up' with the concierge (ie. take care of him with a good tip) and then make sure he does some good shopping around for you to find the best and most price effective solution for transportation. How big is your party....? If you have between 4-10 people its always the best, since in this case you can hire one of the medium sized vans with a couple of rows of seats.
