Reading reviews it seems the TSA check at the hotel has odd ( random) hours and never opened before 5:30 am even before the shutdown.

The reviews about people missing flights because of shuttle issues is a major concern of mine as the reason we are staying here is because we have a 5 am departure.

Even if we could check bags for our flight the night before we would still need the shuttle as the TSA checkpoint won't be open at ~4am

I haven't stay here yet so I'll reserve judgement but I have to wonder why this hotel is not set up like most on site hotels where you can walk with all your bags to the Airline check in and then go through TSA just as if you were dropped off at the airport. If the shuttle only holds ten people, all with checked bags in seems like a bad plan doomed to fail as people miss flights.

I'm guessing the shuttle also goes to terminal 2 so even more delays.

I also read reviews saying the airport access back to the hotel has been closed in the early evening.

Hopefully the learning curve has passed but I will be following the TripAdvisor reviews and maybe some reports here before I book
