Hotels for Greater Sudbury Airport Travellers
Greater Sudbury Airport sits north-east of the city near Garson, and there is no large airport hotel right next to the terminal. In practice, travellers choose between a few addresses that make the airport easy: the Radisson Hotel Sudbury, which runs an airport shuttle, the Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites and Moonlight Inn and Suites, both described as close to the airport, and the Clarion Hotel, with easy access to it. Other hotels on this page, such as the Hilton Garden Inn and the Hampton Inn, are simply well-rated bases for a short stay before a flight.
Sudbury, while known for its natural landscapes and mining heritage, also serves as a key regional hub, making its airport area a practical choice for many visitors. The hotels near the airport reflect a blend of functional design and comfortable amenities, catering to a diverse clientele. While the immediate vicinity might be more focused on transit, the city's main attractions like Science North and the downtown core are still within a reasonable driving distance, allowing guests to explore if time permits. The overall atmosphere is one of efficiency and welcoming hospitality, typical of Canadian regional centers.
Shuttles, Short Drives and Early Flights
An airport stay in Sudbury is about a quick morning departure, a car or a shuttle, and a comfortable room for one night. Since the airport is outside the centre, a hotel with a shuttle or an easy road connection matters more than a downtown address.
The Radisson Hotel Sudbury is the only hotel on this page that lists an airport shuttle service, which makes it the simplest option for travellers without a car. It is a four-star hotel in central Sudbury with an indoor pool, an on-site Italian restaurant, a fitness centre and spa-wellness facilities, and it is close to shopping. Guests rate it 7.1 across more than 1,700 reviews. For a business trip where meetings are in the city centre and the flight leaves the next morning, the combination of a central address and a shuttle to the terminal is the main argument.
Two hotels are described as being close to the airport. The Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites Sudbury, rated 8.6, sits near Science North and the Greater Sudbury Airport and offers family rooms, an indoor pool, a hot tub and complimentary bicycles. Moonlight Inn and Suites Sudbury, rated 8.5, is a simpler two-star property near the airport with free WiFi, a shared kitchen, an outdoor seating area and electric vehicle charging. Both suit travellers with a car who want to cut the drive to the terminal before an early departure, the Fairfield for comfort and the Moonlight for a self-catering, no-frills night.
The Clarion Hotel, rated 7, is described as having easy access to the airport. It offers air-conditioned rooms with city views, an indoor pool, a sauna, a fitness centre and a restaurant, and it sits near Science North and the Art Gallery of Sudbury. That central position makes it a reasonable compromise for travellers who want to visit the city during the day and still reach the airport without crossing heavy traffic. A sauna after a day of meetings or sightseeing is a welcome extra before an early flight back to Toronto or onwards elsewhere in Ontario.
The other hotels on this page do not mention the airport, but they are well rated and practical for a one-night stopover with a car. The Hilton Garden Inn Sudbury has the best rating here at 8.9, with an indoor saltwater pool, a restaurant and an outdoor fireplace. The Hampton Inn Sudbury, rated 8.4, includes a buffet breakfast and free private parking, useful before a morning flight. The Holiday Inn Sudbury and the Quality Inn & Conference Centre Downtown Sudbury are downtown, near the Sudbury Arena and the Art Gallery, and suit travellers whose business is in the centre.
A traveler's takeFor a night before an early flight from Sudbury I would choose the Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites: it is rated 8.6, it sits near the Greater Sudbury Airport, and the indoor pool and hot tub help after a long day. Without a car, I recommend the Radisson Hotel Sudbury, the only hotel here with an airport shuttle.

For children, the real outing is Science North, the science centre about 8 km away by car, a good indoor option in a Northern Ontario winter.
