There are very regular shuttle buses there, I can't see you waiting 20 minutes but you need to be a bit assertive in waving them down, they also serve 2 other hotels nearby, so by the time you've read the list of hotels on the matrix display the shuttle would have pulled off.
It's not a bad hotel, British management, but it's not as well soundproofed as the hotels nearby, and I'd go to the Hilton because it's shuttle is sub 15 minutes in rotation.
The only airport hotel which is walkable (in my opinion) is the Concourse, which used to be the Radisson and is about to become a Hyatt..... Even then from TBIT late at night I'm not so sure about that one either.
Very good info thanks. I did a google street view and TBH it seem a bit of a nightmare, and of course I am landing at the furthest terminal but I wasn't going to pay $25 to get to a hotel. I didnt know about the free shuttle buses. I wont be landing till after midnight, do they run all the time?
