There is a Wyndham on the airport property, but don't know if they have a good restaurant / bar to kill time in or not.
Well I assumed I"d be able to enter airside with my mobile boarding pass. I was able to OLCI at T-24 and I don't have any checked bags.

Was hoping to grab dinner around 8pm as I don't feel like eating on the plane at ~2am local time, but I guess that won't be possible with this rule:
