Cribs, rollaway beds and connecting rooms

  • Hilton Garden Inn and Homewood Suites: cribs and connecting rooms are listed as available on hilton.com. Neither hotel page publishes a kids-stay-free age or rollaway beds.
  • Fairfield Inn & Suites: the Marriott page sets the 8-guest room maximum but does not publish crib, rollaway or kids-stay-free details.
  • Days Inn: the Wyndham page has a children-stay-free policy section but does not show its terms outside the booking process, and states that rollaway beds may carry an extra charge.
  • ALT Hotel: the Germain Hotels site does not publish crib, rollaway, connecting-room or children’s policies.

For anything a hotel does not publish, confirm directly with the hotel before booking.

Early departures with children

The ALT Hotel is connected to the terminal by an indoor walkway, so a dawn departure needs no shuttle and no time outdoors. The Hilton Garden Inn and Fairfield shuttles run from 7:00 am to 11:00 pm, according to the hotels’ websites; for an earlier flight, confirm transport with the hotel. The Fairfield’s breakfast starts at 6:00 am. The Hilton Garden Inn has an on-site restaurant, open daily; the hotel does not publish its closing time, so confirm it if you land late.
