Yup. I was searching for a hotel in Roswell, and a "sponsored link" located the Motel6 with a different pin icon than the others.

Go center the map on Roswell, NM. Search for "motel" and you'll see the ad, and it will come back as the default selected pin.

Exactly. Search results for businesses or locations in Gmaps on iOS are broken because of all the irrelevant junk they include, and I can only assume they do it because they got paid.
