Any other hotels near or on airports?

Just for examples of things that are out there.. Fredericksburg Texas
has a hotel on field. http://www.hangarhotel.com/ . The town is a bed and
breakfast haven, and the main drag is like a giant flea market/antique
show. No colleges. Admiral Nimitz Museum is there.


That Hangar Hotel is so cool!!!

Their web page is mostly well done, but needed info/links are off the screen
to my right. These should be where I can see them without scrolling - on the
left.

Get to the Gallery/Slideshow/Gal 3/Autoplay - good pics.

An easy to find (live) mapquest link would be nice too - where is it in
Texas? Fredericksburg? Gillespie County?

The Hangar Hotel looks like a GREAT place to visit.

Yes.. Fredricksburg.. less than an hours DRIVE from Kerrville, home of
the Mooney factory.. West of Austin, Northwest of San Antonio, and close
to Luckenbach.

If you go to the avweb page, you will have a link you can click on for
maps on the airport info main page, upper right corner, next to the
small map graphic.

Any feel on how they're doing? I've not been able to get a grasp on what
their main source of guests/income is, outside of fly-ins.

Are they close enough to the city to be able to attract non-flying guests?

Pretty much. My boss and his wife spent their anniversary there after
driving to Fredricksburg. When I've mentioned it in non-aviation circles,
I'm surprised at the number of folks who have heard of it. Of course,
Fredricksburg is a pretty big getaway destination for the DFW crowd.

The town is a BIG antique tourist trap. That and "Bed and Breakfast"
type places. Its also less than an hour drive away from the LBJ ranch. I
would actually have to say I haven't heard much of anything in the way
of fly-ins there. I'm guessing its mostly vacationers staying there.

I have to admit, I've not been to fredricksburg since this place opened.
I used to have family there, before they relocated.
