Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it an airport hotel?

Somebody has been asking about our definition of an airport hotel.

Well, as we all know airports and hotels are inclined to categorise anything within 15 miles / 30 mins of the airport as an airport hotel.

To us though, that's not an 'airport hotel', just a 'hotel near an airport' (shuttle or no shuttle).

An airport hotel is located within the perimeter fence or butting up to it. Anything else is a quasi-airport hotel.
