For very early flight departures, I prefer to stay at the Hilton CDG.
Also bad is if one arrives after 10:56pm, when the scheduled shuttle service ends (as I did after a delay in getting to CDG). When we arrived at CDG in Feb. a little after 11pm, there was a line of 10+ deep taxis at the shuttle stop and all refused to take us to this hotel as they would not earn much of a fare (compared to their desire to take pax into Paris) on such a short trip. After 15-20 minutes of pleading with each of them in the rain (note that during this 15-20 minutes no one else showed up to request a taxi), the 3rd taxi in line finally agreed to take us for 25 Euro (after saying no earlier).
In hindsight, we should have just taken a shuttle to a different nearby hotel (like the Holiday Inn) and walked to the Marriott since it would have been way cheaper.
