You could use the Courtyard by Marriot,it would generally,but not always be a bit more,they do have a shuttle,and its much nicer than the independent cheapies that can be somewhat weird in decoration and so on!!
On booking.com I figured a handful of second tier airport hotels with the shuttle pickup service, even at €40. But of course, paying a meager few euros out of pocket won't hurt.
Last August had to overnight at IST at my expense, due a separate ongoing ticket with SQ, and the Holiday Inn at €46 with pickup included was an amazing deal.
Room was equivalent, if not better, than the Radisson one.
