This is true, many airport hotels have a "park & fly" rate, typically 5-7 days parking and their rates are very similar to just regular parking rates at the hotel. Free airport shuttle, and sometimes you can talk to the local hotel manager if your parking for longer time. I use this a lot in order to pad my stays at my hotel program.
