Doesn't everyone wash their hair everyday??

Only if you use conditioner as well!

14.2 km away - calling that an airport hotel is really taking the piss!

Are we talking about the same hotel?

I think they’re missing a decimal point. Google maps suggests a distance of 19km (12 miles)!

But to be fair maybe it was named that when the much closer old Denver Airport was still in use, But it’s been closed for exactly 30 years…

The Denver airport property is quite large, much larger then the current airfield. With the exception of the Westin at the airport terminal, all other hotels are off the airport land. In addition, many of the airports close to the site of the old airport are still called "airport hotels".


Hotels in the red area are from the old airport. The green area are newer when the current airport opened.

Actually google maps shows it 9.5 miles to the airport, but they have a free shuttle which, I suppose, qualifies it as an Airport Hotel.

This is the old airport location. Still 9 miles from the Marriott.

The problem with the hotels that claim themselves to be "airport" hotels just because they have a free shuttle is that the shuttle is never at arrivals when you land - you have to ring, then wait - and if it is coming 19 kilometres through lots of traffic lights then you could be waiting 30+ minutes at a late hour having just landed dog tired and aching all over after flying Y on a QF 787.
