Any other hotels near or on airports?

Fine with me. If you actually believe in academics at UT, there are lots
of reasons to hate the athletic department.

That's true at any big-sports college.

The highest-paid (by far) public employee in the state of Iowa is....Kirk
Ferentz, the U of Iowa football coach. It's sad.

If I were looking to build or create something from a private home, I would
investigate Sevierville, TN. It's closer to the Park and to the tourist traps
of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg.

Is that where the Tennessee aviation museum is?

Yep.

Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you quarrel with your neighbor.
It makes you shoot at your landlord. And it makes you miss him.

Yes it is , I think a big drawback about the tourists of the area is they
mostly seem to drive through the smokies. Park your car and take the little
fake trolley in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg or you may spend your entire
vacation sitting in traffic. The guys around here fly over to the museum for
lunch and see the place quit often.

There used to be an on-field motel at Fort Worth Meacham (KFTW) - I
think it was the Sandpiper Inn - it was sort of a joint FBO/motel, very
'70's decor - it is just north of downtown Fort Worth and the
Stockyards, Billy Bob's etc. I'm not sure if it is still open - AirNav
lists a Sandpiper Aviation at FTW (817-625-5531), but no motel.

Jay!

Warm, we don't need no stenking warm...
Steamboat Springs, Colorado (SBS) Winter sports, summer sports,
hot springs, oh, yes, and they have winter and SKIING!

Marfa, Texas... and take up soaring in earnest. :-)

Breckenridge, Colorado has an airport (closed for years to the
public), but undergoing development review.

Carlsbad, NM Great place, needs an influx of new
blood with a "service the customer" attitude.

"Gaston's" Airport, Arkansas, resturant, motel, fly fishing on the
White River.

Martha's Vineyard, the beach airport, "Whoosies", resturant on the
field, motels and condos nearby.

Fort Collins Downtown Airport (3V5), Colorado.
New Belgium Brewery within 1 mile. :-)
O'Dell's Brewery within 1 mile. :-)
Walking distance to several resturants, Kiva Inn motel is for sale (up
scale), seems to be busy every time I to by.
Widow is very interested in selling the Motel and possibly
airport shares.
Colorado State University.
I'm here. :-)

Here's what we need in order to duplicate our success:

1. A small-to-medium hotel on, or adjacent to, an airport.
2. The airport must be very close to the city that it serves. No
"out-in-the-boonies" airports, please.

In our case, it's the University of Iowa that creates the alternative
business. (There simply aren't enough of us pilots to solely support a
hotel, sad to say.) In other locales, it might be a tourist attraction.

Any suggestions? We would prefer a warm-weather climate, to off-set our
Midwest location, and to prolong the flying season -- but we're open to
suggestions. (Ideally, it would be fun to have a southern hotel to run in
winter, and the Iowa location to run in summer! :-)

(Better yet, an Australian location to run from November - April, and our
Iowa location to run form May - October!)

Calgary!

Cold, but it's a dry cold.

There is a B&B on a very large lot at CYBW (Calgary, Springbank), the
closest gateway to Banff, Lake Louise and the Canadian Rockies.

Springbank, a towered, very active GA oriented airport on the west of
Calgary, is being upgraded as we speak. Longer, wider runways.

The FBO across the street does a terrific business.
