Why do it if it's not fun?

Fond memories of staying there as a kid, prior to a family holiday to Disney World. There were no flights available from any of the London airports, so the travel agent threw in a free nights accomodation for my family, at an establishment with the grand-sounding name The Airport Hotel.

When we arrived and found that the establishment was a pub, yards from the end of the runway, with a couple of rooms, mum was not impressed. I, on the other hand, was very impressed!

That was 20-ish years ago, though - don't know if it's changed names in the mean time.
