Edinburgh airport hotel and driving times

Can anyone recommend a hotel at the Edinburgh airport, preferably with a shuttle? With a 6AM flight, we want to be very close! Also, what would be a ballpark driving time from Ft. William to Edinburgh? (just driving, I can factor in stops)

Hilton at Edinburgh Airport is about 200 yard walk to terminal and does have a shuttle bus.

We've been using ViaMichelin.com to plan our driving times. I had posted a similar question and was told that was my best bet, with a 10-15% cushion for traffic. It's basically mapquest for Europe.

Viamichelin has screwed up this time; it shows three hours and reflects the A9/A86. It can't be done that way in less than four hours.

Google maps says a bit less than three hours using the A84/A82. This is the way I'd do it, but three hours would be hard unless departure was from the northwest side of Edinburgh -- after the morning traffic had died down.

In round numbers, use 3.468749251, more or less.
