I stayed in the Double Tree hotel at the south end of the airport. With a high even numbered room there are views of the approach and departures, but again FR24 or similar is usually required. I had 1278 which is a corner suite, so great for the approaches from the south while I was there. being a Hilton Honors member is beneficial. There is a sports bar for evening food, but other fast food and Dennys within walking distance.
rooms booked direct with Hilton allow you to pick your room prior to check in.
