The front desk delivered breakfast to my room at 6 am I found this helpful. Minz, the front desk clerk, was patient and provided excellent assistance. The hotel offered convenient shuttle services to the terminals for twelve dollars per person.

The fire alarm activated at 5 am leading to an evacuation I think someone used an e-cigarette.
