Do you need to use a elevator to get to the rooms or are there rooms on low floors??

There are rooms on lower floors which you can use the stairs but when you check in let them know you're sabbath observant so that they will arrange to leave a staircase open for your use

So is the Shangri-La... I think the Shangri-La is a much nicer hotel. Only go to the Sheraton if you have SPG plat. The Sheraton is getting old and unfresh. Rooms are pretty small too.

Yes, the airport express. If you plan to use the regular MTR as well then look into getting an Airport Express Travel Pass which would be 3 day unlimited MTR use plus R/T on the airport express.
