Layover advice please
I have a 12 hour layover (22:30 until 10:30) in Hong Kong this month. I am not looking forward to spending the night at the gate waiting for my connection. Does anyone have suggestions for close hotels, or other options? How hard is it to pass through immigration there? I don't want to spend 4 hours at immigration and getting to a hotel only to sleep 2 hours and head back. Thanks in advance for any help you all can give me.

I can tell you that HK immigration is usually quite efficient. And if you've never been, I really must recommend at least going to view the skyline. It is perhaps the most beautiful and stunning in the world. Then grab a decent night's sleep somewhere. Priceline might be a good bet for a hotel. Have a good trip!
