this will avoid a 2 1/2 hour train ride at 6 AM to catch that flight.
the Sheraton hotel in the airport is too expensive for the few zzzzzzzz's.

Thanks for the helpful information!
Since it does not say, is the airport Steingenberger hotel the only hotel that does not serve a breakfast buffet with the room rate?

When do you want to travel and what is your budget?
Park Inn Frankfurt Airport has excellent rates (starting from 59 EUR). It is possible to either walk to T2 building (if you don't have large suitcases) or take their shuttle bus. With friends and family rate, you can get room +breakfast for 70 EUR.

I always, well usually, stay at the Holiday Inn Morfelden, when I have a morning flight out of FRA. Prices are quite reasonable.
If you cross the street and walk down the farm road there is a camp ground with perfectly acceptable restaurant. It's a nice 20 minute walk on the night before a long flight.
I last stayed there a year ago, I believe they charge 5 Euro for the airport shuttle.

I am not sure if it is open or not yet: Hilton is opening a property on the top of the airport railway station.

Perfectly adequate 3*hotel, prices starting at 49€ and the restaurant mentioned is actually rather good - try the Gnocci with Gorgonzola sauce
- and it feels a bit like being in the country side too..

I have used the Steingenberger and found it very convenient. Regular shuttle service to/from FRA. I didn't get breakfast included with my room rate. There is a shop in a service station about 5mins walk from the hotel (not very glamorous I know) if you want to get some food/snacks to take back to your room.
When I stayed here I checked in and went up to my room to find it had not been made up yet. Back down to reception to get a new room and the same thing happened again!!!! I went to complain and asked for an upgraded room which I got with a sincere apology. The rooms in the new tower are far better than the standard ones so you might consider booking one of those if that is important to you.
Cheers, Lee.

Holy crap. Stay in the city, somewhere in the very centre around Hauptwache/Konstablerwache or around the central station. The S-Bahn takes you to the airport in 15 minutes. No need to bother with those so-called airport hotels out in the boonies where there is nothing to do in the evening and the air stinks of kerosene (the Sheraton is the only hotel that is actually at the airport, all others are at some distance). Those shuttles, including waiting for them, do not get you there faster than the commuter train from the city centre.
