Average Stay Near Terminal 5
unjustified charge long wait
the location is convenient for access to terminal 5.
it didn't seem any different from a standard hotel room, and the extra charge for it felt unjustified. also, at checkout, there was only one staff member at reception, and after waiting in a queue for 15 minutes, i had to leave to catch my flight.
