And don’t worry. They have a habit of finding ‘airport hotels’ which are usually a 20 minute bus rise from the hotel in the middle of nowhere. They’re not the expensive airport hotels that you might think..
Depends where you're night-stopping... if you're overnighting in DUB for instance, this point definitely is correct. But from experience, if you've only got a max 12 hour gap between flights, do you want to be spending 20-30+ minutes travelling to a non-airport hotel location for an early morning departure? For instance, in AMM, you have one hotel; the next decent westernised hotel (Marriott) is 45 minutes away on very bad roads.
Their great rivals in AAL once coined a phrase: "you can save a million dollars, $25 at a time..."
