But yes, I'd say a day room in the Hilton T4, Hilton Garden Inn (T2 by T3), Thistle or Sofitel (T5) would be a much better idea.
Couldn’t agree more !

Whenever there is talk of such incredibly long stints in lounges, I often find myself drawing an analogy (perhaps not the best, given that the OP is US-based ) with a rookie Test batsman, in his first walk to the crease, as he prepares to face an ultra-fast bowler : both are pretty undesirable prospects in my mind ....... even though I’m not personally involved in either scenario.
