- `airportCodeCity` — A string that includes the adjacent city for the airport included in `airport`
- `checkIn` — A string that includes the check-in date for the hotel stay in YYYYMMDD format
- `checkOut` — A string that includes the check-out date for the hotel stay in YYYYMMDD format
- `children` — An integer that includes the total number of children staying in a hotel room
- `city` — A string that includes the city where a hotel was searched for
- `country` — A string that includes the country where a hotel was searched for
