Few updates

Re Skyline
1. Note that Exec lounge is closed for renovations for 3-4 months. They gave me a voucher for free full breakfast in the restaurant, and free drinks at the bar between 6-8pm - nothing at any other time.
2. Parking has gone up again, and is 15 pounds - which I think is a rip-off. Sheraton still charges 10, which is fair.
I don't particularly like this place.

Re Sheraton
1. Lounge is open 24 hours a day for drinks and snacks, accessed with room key.
2. I found staff pretty good - better than Skyline
3. If you are returning or renting a car from Thrifty, Hertz or Alamo\National, Sheraton is convineint. Thrifty is in the hotel, others are 5 minutes walk away via a useful shortcut. Which brings me to ...
4. To get to hotel, may be worth taking free car rental buses every few minutes, and walking from there, instead of Hoppa or bus. I don't think anyone would notice if you slipped off....Alamo is slightly closer than Hertz.
