Sheraton Milan Malpensa Airport Hotel & Conference Center
The room was spacious, the bed comfortable, and the location - at the airport - couldn’t be beat! I was disappointed with my cold shower - hot water just wasn’t! There was a lot of noise from the room next door and above us, but turning on the fan eliminated most of it.
