I have a 12 hour layover so decided to book on points and cash – about 20K points + $150 cash including taxes – quite expensive.

I am upgraded to a Terrace room on the top (16th) floor with sweeping views beyond.

The room is simple with a shower and queen sized bed. No frills but does the trick.  Great pillows and I sleep for about 6 hours.

I choose 750 points instead of breakfast as I’ll eat at a lounge at the airport.

In the morning I use the gym for an hour, shower, and get ready for my pickup to the airport.

A functional stay.
