Layover in AMS
I have to take an overnight layover in AMS to avoid being hosed on points! Any good ideas of where to stay that is reasonable and decent? We arrive at 7:40pm and leave at 8am. I have avoided AMS most of the time, been there more on trains than on planes...@:-)

You can always get a late drink around Dam Square and have a walk around the canals. I agree that you should get a hotel at AMS and take the train in, but the train ride is only 10 or 12 minutes and they go constantly. If your flight lands at 740p you can be in the city by 900p and have a couple of hours lookaround. Just be sure you know the late-night outbound train schedule from Centraal.

Free WiFi, well priced drinks in the bar as well as "grab and go" food selections if you decide to skip the trip to town. Great staff.
