| - Having just checked out of the Mandalay Bay, it is hard to feel entirely fair in reviewing a Hampton Inn but here goes.
One thing that I appreciated right away is that they have a lot of plugs, and in addition to those plugs, they even have USB plugs. The problem with the USB plugs in our room seems to be that they are only doing a "trickle" charge. I don't know if something is wrong with them, or they are designed this way. But a phone at 25% was only at 55% 7 hours later. I ended up just having to put the "Plug" adapter on and using that to get a full charge. Still, plus several points for the idea. Normally I have to unpack my extension cord to get extra plugs.
I PERSONALLY feel these beds are more comfortable than the ones at Mandalay Bay, but my wife disagrees with me, so its obviously a personal taste thing.
Wifi was decent, but a big janky. Certain sites inexplicably didn't work (Dropbox & Foodspotting for example) but other sites were fine. I don't know if this was a temporary situation or not because we were only there one night, but when I have free Internet I want ALL of the Internet, not just some of it. Still, it worked enough to write this review and wasn't as crappy as it was over at Mandalay. (To be fair to Mandalay Bay on this point the Microsoft Management Summit WAS going on, so EVERYONE needed Internet to survive).
Overall, the price is good considering how close to the strip you are. Also, Free Breakfast!
I would certainly come back and stay here in the future.
