The airport Hilton is pricing up just under £200 on our dates with marriott quite a bit higher. We are travelling with 3x bikes so it's extremely awkward luggage and we would need multiple large taxis to transfer to a non terminal hotel. So again, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect that to be reimbursed. We could share rooms, it's not ideal but I think 2x rooms between the 3 of us is probably a reasonable compromise.
