The Skyline wins hands down - lots of free buses from Heathrow Central bus station during the day while the Sheraton Heathrow only has the U3 bus. At night, the N9 stops on Bath Road just outside the property. You want to get off at "Harlington Corner". Beware - on Saturday nights, some buses only go as far as Hounslow Bus Station. AVOID THESE BUSES, Hounslow Bus Station is not a nice place to wait even 10 minutes for the next bus to Heathrow.
I think Piccadilly is the closest stop to where you guys will be - this is the timetable: http://journeyplanner.tfl.gov.uk/use...__000051d6.pdf
(nB the bus isn't non-stop between Hounslow and LHR, they just don't show all the stops near the end of the line on the timetable. Harlington Corner is, timewise, roughly halfway between the last two stops that figure on the timetable).
