    It's hilarious.

    Cardiff airport is one of the best. Click on "Cardiff" and it can find no hotels or guest houses in South Wales.

    I did try it and it is bad beyond belief, with Glasgow being a perfect example.

    A google maps search for Glasgow Airport Hotels throws up the following hotels scattered around the airport runways.....
    http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=glasgow+airport+hotel&hl=en&sll=53.800651,-4.064941&sspn=13.731416,39.331055&hq=glasgow+airport+hotel&t=m&z=12

    Now try the same search on the website for Glasgow.....
    http://www.stayneartheairport.com/

    Notice how the airport and surrounding area is COMPLETELY devoid of hotels and/or B&B's?

    I cannot think of a website intended to provide a service that fails to do so quite so comprehensively. :D
