Really this is not such a big deal and getting in and out of the Grand Hyatt is very easy with the AA check in counter more or less under the hotel. The Grand Hyatt is in Terminal D. If you arrive at a different terminal, you need to take an airport shuttle bus to the Grand Hyatt. That won't take more than 15 minutes. If you land at Terminal D, it is a walk and an elevator ride. It takes a very brief time to check into this fine hotel.

The Grand Hyatt restaurant is absolutely outstanding, but if you are too worn out for that, room service is above average.

The Grand Hyatt is a great place to rest up for your continuing journey. In the morning you can go downstairs and check in to AA and then go back to the hotel's restaurant for breakfast or at least a coffee and muffin.

The staff at the Grand Hyatt are really tuned up to deal with people like us. Someday I would like to be there long enough to really get a rest. Perhaps a long weekend.

Fair warning: I could not set the fancy alarm clock in the bedroom. Not a clue!
