Especially when the alternative is a US$4-5 taxi ride and ~$8 Airport Express ticket (half-R/T via Klook) that probably gets you there faster. Frankly, it's one of the reasons I didn't choose the Island Shangri-La on a recent trip. In general, I wouldn't put that much value on an airport drop-off, especially in HKG.
That's also the reason I chose to stay at Conrad instead (see couple posts up) which I paid for. At the ISL my travel companion (relative) was paying.

I had purchased return airport express from Klook also. Since my relative didn't want the limousine transfer, I gave him my airport express ticket in exchange for the limousine. We left HK on different days.
