I don't use GPS on my phone, so the location is given by the cell phone towers...as such, Foursquare always sees the hotel as 50-100m away even when I'm walking thru the door, so I think you'll be fine and dandy

50-100m? I can sit in the lobby of my local Crowne Plaza and have Foursquare tell me I am 700 metres away

United launched a similar program not too long ago. It seems that some of my United airport check-ins are posting as PC points.
