What to look for in an airport hotel
- Shuttle frequency. "Free shuttle" can mean every 15 minutes or once an hour. Confirm before booking, especially if your flight is before 6 a.m.
- 24-hour shuttle. Some hotels suspend shuttle service overnight. If you have a red-eye, confirm operating hours.
- Soundproofing. Properties closest to the runway are also the loudest. Read recent reviews — the difference between a quiet sleep and a sleepless night is real.
- Park-and-fly packages. Many airport hotels offer a one-night stay plus a week or two of free parking — often cheaper than economy parking alone.
Day rooms and short stays
If you have a long layover but don't need an overnight stay, several brands offer day-room rates, usually a 6- to 12-hour block during the day. These are advertised through the brand's app or by calling the property directly. For travelers connecting through CAR with a 7- or 8-hour gap, a day room can be the difference between arriving exhausted and arriving rested.
