Is this unwise?
everyone is GE/precheck in the party, no bags checked most likely
If you're leaving home at 5am vs staying at a hotel, I would leave at 5am. As far as hotels, the only one I think worth it is the Marriott that is connected to terminal B. But, if it were me, I would just drive early that day.
