Staying at this hotel was a perfect choice for my trip to Las Vegas. The location is unbeatable—right next to the airport, with amazing views of planes taking off and landing from the entrance. I didn’t need to go anywhere else just to enjoy the scenery; it’s literally right outside the door. I even snapped some great photos and short videos from the front area. The American-style breakfast was solid—fresh eggs, a burger patty, cereal, milk, and a good selection of juices. Plus, coffee and tea are available 24/7, which is a lifesaver after late-night flights. The rooms were clean, well-maintained, and the free parking was a huge plus, especially when arriving with lots of luggage. It’s a bit of a drive around the airport to reach downtown, but that’s actually a benefit—it means less noise and more peace. And let’s not forget the iconic “Welcome to Las Vegas” sign right by the entrance—such a fun photo op and instant vibe booster. For convenience, comfort, and value, this is an ideal spot, especially if you’re flying in or out.
We arrived late at night after a flight delay, well past regular check-in hours, but the hotel had someone on duty to assist us—what an amazing touch! The efficiency-style apartment room was cozy and perfect for our extended stay. Everything we needed was neatly arranged, and the quiet, comfortable space made it feel like home. It’s rare to find such great service after midnight, especially with travel disruptions. This attention to detail really stood out and made our experience stress-free. Highly recommend this hotel for travelers who value convenience and warm hospitality.
Staying at the Hampton Inn & Suites Las Vegas Airport was an absolute pleasure. The best part? The security deposit was refunded immediately upon check-in—no waiting, no delays. I've stayed at other hotels where deposits took up to two weeks to be credited back, so this instant refund was a huge relief. The location is super convenient for airport transfers, and the entire process from arrival to checkout felt smooth and efficient. It’s clear this hotel values guest experience. Highly recommend for travelers who want reliability and hassle-free service.
The property was in poor condition—extremely dusty and unclean. The sliding door didn’t close properly, which was frustrating, and the bed sheets were visibly stained and clearly reused multiple times. My family couldn’t stay the full weekend due to the unsanitary conditions. We ended up sleeping in the car for one night and booked a hotel the next day. While I appreciate the effort put into cleaning, it wasn’t enough to make the place habitable. This experience was disappointing, especially given the location near the Strip. I wouldn’t recommend this property to anyone looking for a decent stay.
We stayed at MainStay Suites Las Vegas Flamingo for just one night during a friend’s wedding weekend, and my family absolutely loved it. The room was clean, the bed was super comfortable, and everything felt well-maintained. We appreciated the spacious layout, which made it easy to relax after a long day. The location is great—close to major attractions and with easy access to public transit, so we didn’t have to worry about getting around. There are plenty of restaurants nearby, so dinner options were never an issue. Even though it was just a one-night stay, the overall experience was excellent. I’d definitely consider booking again if I return to Las Vegas. Highly recommend for travelers looking for a cozy, no-frills stay with great value.
