Find N Nearest LineString From A Point Using MySQL Spatial Extensions

Question

I\'m using MySQL Spatial Extensions to store data about roads and hotels. I store the hotel data as a Point while I store the road data as LineString. The tables look like this<

Answer 1

I have been also working on this issue, but unfortunately finding the nearest road for Hotels is an unfavorable solution. I have found that the entrance the road is on is the definitive answer. In other words the address. This means having an address table and matching points to nearest address road.
