One short night in Zurich - where to stay with small kids?

We have one evening in Zurich before our early morning flight to Barcelona. I know there is a train from the airport to the city, but I'd rather take an airport transfer shuttle to a hotel if possible so I don't have to deal with luggage, two kids, and a stroller on the train. Any (budget...hahaha) hotels that are nice near the airport? If not, what about in the city right near the train to/from the airport? Don't really think we'll have too much time to kill in the city since my kids are young and we'll all probably be tired from our long transatlantic flight. Thanks!

Gills:

Try this Website:
http://www.zurich-airport.com/deskto...spx/tabid-143/

It lists the hotels that provide shuttle buses to the airport. Unfortunately I can't comment on the quality of these hotels, but you might check elsewhere.

Hope this helps

Phil.

Thanks Phil. I'll check them out and see if I can come up with one that will do. I'm not too picky.

Since you're not going to see Zurich, why don't you stay at the airport?

Here are some hotels there.

Read the reviews and decide what fits your budget.

We stayed at one Hotel at the airport before flying back home early next morning.

The Hotel had a shuttle to downtown where we had dinner, then we did some shopping and took the train to the airport were we took again a shuttle to the Hotel as the ones from downtown were hourly, from the airport each 15 mins.

I'm leaning towards Ibis Zürich Messe-Airport or the Apartments Swiss Star Kloten Zürich Airport. Anyone ever stay in one of these?
