BRU to downtown - how far to train station?
From the Brussels airport to a train station to take you downtown, how far is the walk?

I had assumed we'd take a train from BRU to the area of our hotel, but looking up times for it tonight has me concerned. One transit planner I found said the walk from terminal to train station is 13 minutes, another 17 minutes. I guess I'm spoiled by AMS and a few other favorites, but both those times struck me as excessive for people with luggage to walk, and of course it will be raining, because it always does when I go to Belgium.

Our destination is Hotel Marivaux, Boulevard Adolphe Max 98, Brussels 1000, which google transit listed as 1 hour 10 minutes from the terminal, again, is that a realistic or excessive estimate?

Are there public shuttles to downtown that aren't tourist gouges?
