You can also just walk up to the AOT desk outside of customs. They will try to sell you on a BMW 7 series, but you can get a Camry for about half the price. (OTOH, there was a short wait for Camrys and a line of empty bimmers).

The Camry to the Marriott cost about 1200, tolls included. They take plastic at the desk.  Much more than a taxi or train, but given a late night arrival and 30 hours since I had last slept, I was happy for the convenience.

There was some gridlock on the surface streets near the hotel Friday night around 11:30.

Ben.

This worked really well, and I recommend it if you don't mind the extra cost, because there's no fuss—it just lands on your hotel bill.
