TWA looks like fun, but $300 ( more than £300 with fx charges) seems a bit ott for a 11pm to 5am stopover. wj
Ive stayed at the HGI. The rooms I’d say were 80s/90s style motel chic. Ie dodgy choice of carpet pattern and massive air conditioning unit. That said some rooms have been renovated, the bathrooms are clean, functional and don’t showntheirnGe. You have a coffee maker, fridge in your room. Shuttles to the property leave from Federal Circle at specific times if you’ve missed one they will send one for your pretty quickly. In the morning they dropped me directly at the terminal door
The reception and public areas are clean and modern and have a g
ood range of food. Mostly convenience ready meals and pastas and salads that they will heat for you.
staff were warm and welcoming and they were just setting out buffer breakfast which is usually an 3xtra charge but I didn’t have time.
