Sheraton Milan Malpensa Airport Hotel & Conference Center
Front entrance was blocked by construction workers making it very difficult to enter the building. We had to park in the bus zone several meters away and bring our baggage through the construction barriers, not easy. Poor planning during the busy time of the day.
