Remember that everyone travels differently. I much prefer AS to a hotel.

1. Don't have to waste time walking to immigration. IME AS is closer to my arrival gate regardless of which gate it is.
2. Don't have to waste time standing in line at immigration.
3. Don't have to waste time while immigration officer checks my passport.
4. Dont' have to waste time taxiing to a hotel, even it it's close.
5. Don't have to waste time checking in to the hotel, hand over credit card, passport, wait while FDC does his/her thing.
6. Don't have to waste time taxiing back from the hotel to the airport.
7. Don't have to waste time going through security on arrival back at the airport.
