Not terrible, as far as international airports go. You get all the things you expect: duty free…read moreshopping, an overly-ambitious cloud of perfume and cologne sprays, lost tourists, loud noises, chaos. Nothing different. There are two things that really took me by surprise: a) the size of the terminal. I am very glad we decided to check out of the hotel a bit earlier than was strictly necessary, because we had to hoof it to Delta's side of things, which was much farther away than we'd expected; and 2) the extreme mismatch between the sheer size of the terminal and the size of the waiting areas at the gates. By the time we got the gate, every seat - and I do mean *every seat* was taken by a human body. People were sitting on the floor or on their luggage, pressed against a wall. People were standing in front of the one store that fronted the gate, and people were blocking aisles inside the store (clearly waiting for the flight), which I'll never understand. The staff that we did end up interacting with was friendly enough, though when it came time for boarding, it was more chaos. The loudspeaker didn't work so well, so nobody could really hear what the agent was saying. And once it became clear that they were going to start letting us line up to board, it was like the good old Southwest Airlines days, where everybody made a beeline to the queue like they didn't have tickets with their assigned seats labeled. Anyway, it was fine for what it was. We did the tourist thing and got our duty-free shopping in, which was a fast and easy experience - once we settled on the items. We did get turned around once, trying to exit the duty free area, but thank goodness I saw the signs were leading us away from where I thought we needed to go. Got some good steps in that morning, at the very least...

If you're reading about an airport hotel, you are probably in some sort of crisis already (like we…read morewere: two flight cancelations and a pending overnight in MXP). So I'll keep this short and simple: the Sheraton is a good comfortable option at MXP but prices in their food and beverage services are very high. The hotel is large and had availability, which when you're scrambling at their airport for is what matters most. Room rate was reasonable for an airport property and the rooms were comfortable. The location directly connects to the terminal so you never have to go outside and makes it easy to get back. Breakfast the next morning was a solid spread with plenty of options. If you don't have it included in your rate it is 27 euro a person. Not the cheapest breakfast but for a buffet with multiple options it's OK. My only dislike was their automatic espresso machines made horrible espresso. Order from the service staff instead and have it crafted by a barista. I also had time to burn during the day, so I tried the spa. That was a highlight. The 80 minute massage was great and the relaxation spaces were worth it. Only downside here was that the spa runs à la carte, so on top of 180 euro for my 80 minute massage I paid an extra 10 euro just to use the sauna and steam room. In my opinion, that should not be a separate charge at that price if I'm already paying for a service (which was not cheep). Biggest downside: Everything outside the room rate felt aggressively overpriced. Water in their restaurant was seven euro a bottle. We ate at a Michelin starred restaurant in Milan earlier in the trip and paid six euro for the same thing. The lunch menu had similar moments. Entrees outside of "pizza" cost you between 30-40 euro. Four stars. It did its job when we needed it. Just know it's costly for the extras on site.

We were only here one night, and it was a last-minute reservation after I started to feel a bit of…read moreanxiety that something would happen with our train from Verona to Milan the morning of our departure, and we'd miss our flight. (Let's be real: it's a valid concern here. As it was, we had to run between tracks at Milano Centrale to catch our regional connection, and just barely made it before the doors closed and it took off.) My chief complaint about this hotel is the lack of clear directions on how one finds the entrance. And look, it may have been sheer exhaustion or our vacation brains leading us to get lost - for several minutes - once we arrived, but I couldn't find anything on the airport's site, Marriott's site, or the map to pinpoint where, exactly, one entered the hotel. (For those curious, if you're taking the train in, make a left before you hit the big glass tunnel, you can't miss the doors and the sign. My husband mis-understood the instructions and led us on a merry (but not really "merry") chase through the car rental area before realizing we'd done a big ole donut and that we'd need help. Americans, amirite?!) The staff was friendly and helpful, which I've come to expect from Marriott employees the world over. The lobby was big and beautiful, and felt calm and welcoming - something I'm absolutely certain was planned because travel can be so stressful. My next observation is about the size of the hotel. It's not a complaint, more of a "whoo, didn't expect *that*!" because our room was up, over, sideways, into, out of, above and under. I kid you not, it took us almost 10 minutes to walk from the elevators to our room. My Bonvoy account is set up to request "room away from elevators" and did they ever deliver on that! It took us so long to get to our room that zero part of me wanted to leave it again until it was time to head to our gate. (But of course, the man needed dinner.) The room itself was spacious and comfortable, and the bed was just as cozy as I'd hoped. We got a good night's sleep, even though we got to bed late and had to wake up early for our flight. Was it an extravagance, booking a different hotel? Probably. Did it make a world of difference in our final day of travel? Absolutely. And I wouldn't have changed a thing.

Also when we collected the car there was already a scratch on a separate alloy we were not told about. Luckily we found it upon collection and reported it. What would have happened if we missed it? I assume they would now be chasing me for €2600. Nice scam Sixt have going ripping people off to buff out a scratch.

This is the best hotel to stay at IF you have an early morning flight out of MXP and you want to…read morestay close. The hotel is literally right outside Terminal 2, which is the domestic terminal, so if you're reading this in english you're probably flying out of Terminal 1. But dont worry, there is a bus right outside the Moxy that gets you there in like 10 minutes. Getting to MXP can be tricky. There are frequent train strikes, and yeah they usually announce them, but its still very possible you'll be in Milan and suddenly realize getting to MXP is a pain. MXP is not really that close to Milan. So if you have like an 8am flight and dont want to deal with a 30 min uber ride from wherever your staying, just stay at Moxy. I work in South Switzerland / Northern Lombari (think Como area) pretty often, and if your coming from there, you just cant get an early enough train to make an 8am flight. I've stayed at Moxy probably 10 times just for the convenience of waking up at 5:30am instead of something insane earlier, or worse finding out last minute the trains on strike and now you need to scramble for a ride.

If you have an early flight out of MXP, this hotel is a good place to stay. My mom and I booked a…read morefamily room the night before our international flights. We added on breakfast. We mainly liked how close it was to the airport and the free shuttle that ran every 15 minutes that was just across the street from the hotel. The family room had two twins and a queen bed. The beds were fine. The bathroom was huge, but the stand up shower was a bit awkward. There were no walls, just a curtain so it was easy to flood the bathroom floor if you weren't mindful. Breakfast that morning was fine. It had plenty of options though. You just give your breakfast card to the front desk. Do know that becauses you are near an airport it can get a bit loud. Thankfully if you have the air on in your room you are able to sorta mute the sound. The windows are pretty thick though. I am a light sleeper so thankfully with the air and how tired I was, we were able to sleep. I would pick this place for convenience!

Scary place to rent a car!…read more Be prepared to leave it $1050 deposit unless you buy their insurance on the spot plus be prepared to pay for a full gas off tag upfront regardless of whether you you are planning on returning it full. I have to say that everything turned out fine with my rental agreement, the car that I rented had damage on just about every area, so I suppose that the previous renters had to pay out for every little blemish, the car didn't look bad at all but when they gave me the rental agreement, it showed damage on every body part, including the windshield . I looked the car over very carefully because I wanted to make sure that I was not going to be blamed for anything that wasn't marked. They do pick you up from the airport very promptly and they will drop you back off. I returned my car a day early because I was very concerned about not getting a ride back to the airport and I was very concerned, especially that they were not gonna return my deposit as some of the previous reviews said happened to them. Like I said, this company is very very scary, no where did I read before renting this car that I had to leave $1100 deposit on top of my rental. I bought insurance through Expedia thinking that I was covered but this company doesn't care if you have insurance they will charge you to $1100 , unless you buy their insurance for $28 a day. I rent a car from many companies before and never ever was I treated it the way I was at this rental company in Milan. I would never rent a car from this company again.

If that was the only problem I would have rated them 4 stars. Basically, they are a sham. I booked through a rental website and had to put down a deposit and insurance. I showed up and they didn't have the car I rented. they then tried to force me into a smaller car. Couldn't fit everyone in our group with our luggage. They then basically left us out to dry. Had to go back to the airport and rent another car for twice as much. They then refused to refund my deposit because they said I showed up late and they couldnt guarantee my car (which is an outright lie). Although this was maybe 10-20% cheaper than other options when I booked through the website, I ended up paying a lot more in the long run. Don't rent from this garbage company to save a few bucks
