During that time, I'd suggest the Lufthansa direct coach, stops at the main train station and at Schwabing - the IBIS München City Nord is very close to that stop.
Flight is for Christmas, so likely train service will be back to normal?

He feels it a better idea to stay closer to the airport the night before, but also isn't looking to spend a lot of money either (meaning, not staying at the actual airport hotel). It will also be 8-9pm when he arrives in Munich due to leaving after work. I've been doing my best research I can using Google Earth and whatever train system maps I can find. Trying to find a hotel close to the train that also has the airport train stopping there. On Google Earth I saw a hotel in Moosburg across from the train and also one in Neufahrn, but honestly, I am having trouble figuring out the trains because there are so many of them and which are official websites. Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
Do you know what train he will be taking to get to Munich after work? Will he end up going through city center (
Hauptbahnhof / Main train station) or coming into some other area?
If city center area, there are many hotels around the main station. Same if he is coming into Ostbahnhof / East train station. Both have easy access to the S8 train line, which is how he would get to the airport. These would be about 45 minute trip to the airport in the morning.
If he is coming a different way and would end up closer to the airport anyway, then something like the Moxy mentioned above could be a better choice.
