Our driver met us right in the Arrivals gate and it was a
short walk to the car with our bags. It could not have been
more simple to get door-to-door to our hotel. The only
caveat I will say is that be sure when you book that you
double check the address for the hotel and ensure that is
listed in the confirmation. Our hotel had multiple locations
and my phone battery had died with the info to re confirm.
Just to make things super smooth for all involved, have it
handy!
I had mentioned to our driver that due to our delayed
flight I hadnt had a chance to get Rubles and wondered if he
had any suggestions on where best to do that. En route to
the hotel he brought me to a bank and made sure I got what I
needed (my Russian was terrible and I was tired, he was a
real help here). He pointed out how to get back from the
hotel in case I needed more, and in general was very
helpful.
Could not imagine going airport to hotel any other
way.
