Sheraton Milan Malpensa Airport Hotel & Conference Center
Every single staff member was absolutely amazing. So patient with my children too! The place was fabulously clean. The food was excellent. The beds and pillows very comfortable. The pool could’ve been a little warmer but not something I’d complain about. 5 stars well deserved.

Crowne Plaza Milan - Malpensa Airport by IHG
staff were wonderful. Room itself was not worth the price, shuttle did come at a cost of $5-$10 euros which should be listed in the description. Room was joint to another room so could hear everything. Also had a shoe polisher right outside my room that multiple patrons were using
