Dusseldorf - one night
We're arriving from early afternoon and departing 10AM the next day to FLR. I was planning on staying at the Sheraton but as an alternate I thought we might be able to get into the city and stay there.
Any thoughts on how hard it might be to get into an urban hotel to walk around a bit at night (late October) ? Thank You.

There is a S-bahn station at the airport but you might need coins or small bills for the ticket kiosk. Travel time should around 15-20 minutes.
The station is accessible by taking a down escalator on the arrivals level next to the McD.

One of the entrances to the S-Bahn station is right underneath the Airport Sheraton. Note that the hotel wasn't built as a Sheraton, so the rooms are small-ish, but otherwise fine.
To get downtown, you'll need to ride the S-Bahn to the central train station, and then the U-Bahn for a couple of more stops (to Heinrich-Heine-Allee, no additional ticket needed). The pubs/restaurants are most dense along Bolkerstrasse.
