Does the Geneva (Cointrin) airport have sleeping rooms?

I'm flying home from Geneva at 7am, don't really want to waste money on a hotel. I was reading on this page:

That they have sleeping rooms, but I can't seem to be able to find any info on:

Anyone know?

I suspect the sleeping rooms are only for use during opening hours and not for overnight stays.

For security reasons, the air terminal is closed from 00:00 am to 04:30 am. It is not allowed to stay inside during this time.

FWIW, my wife and kids slept in the airport a couple of weeks ago. They had a 7:00am flight and all hotels were booked. They did have a guard come around and check on them about 2:00am.

Seems it was in a video game area. Swiss side, not French side.
