Sounds like you are having a rough go of it. Did they walk you all the way there from London? Ouch!

Check In
I arrived here in the evening and got a warm welcome. It is a little bit of a trek from the terminal although is technically attached! There is a Hilton and a Hilton garden Inn that share almost the same entrance.
Room
My room was upgraded to an Executive King as I am a Diamond Member. The room was really well equipped and I got 2 bottles of water and some chocolates, along with a nice welcome note.
The bathroom was really modern and the shower was powerful. There was also a separate bath with shower head so I can assume that parents would be happy with this room too!
The bed was slightly hard for my tastes - as I find all Hilton beds to be but the room was cozy and I slept well.
Service
At all times everyone was friendly and super attentive. Check-in and out was a breeze and the lady in the Executive lounge was also very friendly despite working hard!
Dining
I had the evening canapés in the Executive lounge and thought they were average. There was pasta, and mini pizzas for the hot options. The pasta was OK but not very exciting and the mini pizzas were very soggy - like they had been boiled! There was a selection of cold snacks, mini sandwiches etc.
The white wine was very nice and they kept replenishing. There was also a red and some spirits although not a great selection from what I can remember.
I also ate breakfast in the main restaurant - I could have had it in the lounge but thought there may be better choice in the restaurant. There was, but only just. The restaurant had the usual buffet of hot and cold items, no omelette station or the option to have anything cooked to order.
Location
The hotel is attached to the airport but please note it is still a bit of a walk to get to. The signs are OK, although a little small and I am sure some miss them completely.
The hotel is also above the train station, but if you want to go into Frankfurt the platform is also a bit of a walk. I only mention this as the hotel sells itself as being VERY close to these and if you have difficulty walking it is actually a bit of a trek.
Of note - the hotel handed a very handy little card with how to get into central Frankfurt by tain - ask for it as you may need it!
Overall
Overall, I really liked this modern hotel. It was well equipped, had friendly staff and the lounge was one of the better ones. I still wish Hilton could do better with the food for the evening snacks but that again is a personal taste.
If you want to stay attached to the airport this is a good choice - it is also pretty easy to get downtown from here so could be used as a base for wider tourism.

My stay was in August 2016, and the restaurant chef cooked 2 fried eggs for me when I asked the waiter for them.

Hope these help give more info about the room, seems we just missed each other aks120! (and we were doing the same LAN787 run but different days!)
Safe travels, I can't say much about my stay as I had prepaid and then decided to fly on to the Paris FT DO...so, just checked in, had a quick look and then checked back out again...lounge was on the same floor so that would have been convenient had I stayed.

A friendly receptionist welcomed me back, told me that it was my fourth stay and asked if I would like something else from the "Pantry" instead of the bottled water Diamond amenity. So we headed to our room (on the top floor) with two bottles of beer.

I was hoping for a tarmac view, but for those not familiar with the property, it's separated from the tarmac by the Sheraton and the terminal, which means no aircraft views. OTOH, it's a shorter walk from the arrivals and departures areas than I had gathered from some of the posts here. Less than 10 minutes.
Overall a good stay, but not perfect. Orange juice dispenser in lounge was broken. Internet went out this morning right when I needed it (and is also close to nonfunctional here in the SEN lounge). Long line to checkout (which I just skipped).
