Are you sure that they charge for the trip to the airport? Many hotels in the area do, but when I was there earlier in the year they most certainly did not charge in either direction, and their website still refers to there being a free shuttle bus.
The shuttle starts at 6am. Trains start at about 5:30am. If you need to get to the airport earlier there is also the option of a bus (leaves from the bus station at the far end of the train station) which run 24 hours, but is a bit of a hike to get to.
