If you're set on the Marriott it's a great property, but I am somewhat partial to the Le Meridien about a block away from the train station (if you can live with their relatively small rooms). You're within walking distance to many restaurants and tons of shopping venues (and the red light district if that's your cup of tea).

How convenient is the Nordzentrum Courtyard to the airport and does the S-Bahn open at around 5am?

In my opinion, you would need a rental car to get there. It's quite a long way from the airport, and I have no idea how complicated the tram ride would be (or how many changes you would need to make).

Time to resurrect this and see what, if anything, has changed in three years...
So I have an awkward transfer at FRA coming up (arrival 11:50 AM from a redeye in Y, connecting flight at 10 PM) and am considering the Courtyard as a place to crash. I can get a room for 69 euros, which seems reasonable, and my plan is to hop on the shuttle, sleep for a few hours, maybe work out a bit, and then head back to the airport. As a Plat, I presume early check-in (1 PM-ish) won't be an issue.
Other options I considered were the "real" Marriott recommended above, which is giving me prices of ~200 euros; a day room at the airport Sheraton, which seems to cost 160+ euros; or bumming it in the LH Senator lounge reclining chairs, which is unlikely to result in decent sleep. Any opinions?

The Raddisson is lovely don't know how much it cost though, last time I was there I stayed in a TRYP hotel right by the messe which was really cheap with nice rooms. I don't know if either of these do day rooms.

I have a very limited experience with it. I scoped it out when in FRA two weeks ago as I have a reservation there in about 10 days. I can tell you it is quite handy from to the airport. From the airport it is 12 minutes with 2 stops to the central train station(via normal DB train). From the train station it is either a 20 - 22 minute walk or about 5 minutes tops by tram from in front of the train station (probably more than 1 but I know #16 stops right in front of the hotel). Also, you may get a better response in the German forum.

Closest tram stop to the Frankfurt Mariott is called "Ludwig-Erhard-Anlage" and its located just in front of the hotel. Ludwig-Erhard-Anlage is served by tram 16 (direction "Ginnheim") or tram 17 (direction "Rebstockbad"). Other option would be taking the "U4" to "Festhalle/Messe". As the tram stop is closer to the hotel and one doesnt have to cross busy roads i would suggest taking the tram. Both options should take approx. 40 minutes to take you from the airport to the hotel via the Main Station. Main Station can be reached by local, regional and long distance trains from the airport.
To plan your journey just enter "Frankfurt Airport" and "Ludwig-Erhard-Anlage" (=tram stop) or "Messe" (=U4) at the RMV query page to get detailed information.

(1) Buy 1-Day Card for EUR 8.00 ( 1-Tageskarte) at FRA, Fraport AG, Hotel Reservation (Terminal 1: Arival hall B) counter.
(2) At FRA, take S-Bahn trains (S8 or S9) from the station in the basement of Terminal 1 to the main station Hauptbahnhof (approx. 11-12 min.). Single ticket was EUR 3.35 at that time.
After arrival at Bahnhof, go up to the main level and exit building through main entrance/exit doors. Cross street in front of the station to the opposite side, Take tram (#16 or #17) toward Festhalle/Messe direction, to the fourth stop (Ludwig Erhard Anlage, which is 1 right after Festhalle/Messe stop). You’re right in front of the hotel. If you have the Day Card, your ride on the tram is included. Still can use it all day long on subway, bus and tram!

I walked down there from the train station three weeks ago. Maybe all of a 15 minute walk? I have photos of the hotel exterior and what's around it in the Frankfurt section on my website.
