What is the Difference Between an AP and a Router?

I just bought a D-Link DWL-G730AP travel router. Very sweet and very small. Can run off AC or a USB port.

It has three modes, two of which are router or access point. They both seem to do the same thing. What is the difference?

I will be using it in hotel rooms to take a wired Ethernet connection and turn it into a wireless signal that I am my employees can access.
