text: Stayed at what used to be TheHotel in Mandalay Bay now a Delano Hotel If you are looking for a hotel where the management appears to have skipped Hotel management this is the place for younnWhen I walked into my room it seemed pretty standard for an upscale price point although I was turned off by the smoking odor in a nonsmoking room Sat down to do email and noted an empty shopping bag under the desk hmm staff must have missed that in cleaning Then went to the bar to pour a glass of water noted three half empty wine and soda bottles nearly lined up with the paid offerings Odd Sat down to drink my water and pick up the newspaper on the table hmm three days old It goes on and on left over tooth brush from the last guy in the shower dirty robe on the hook behind the door used soap in the holder buck with melted ice and beers in the tub GrossnnCalled the desk to see if the room had been cleaned assured it had they would be right up to rectify When I returned they had removed the eaten apple but that was all Went down to the desk and had them write down the list of trash to be removed Came back none was removed although the ironing board the last guy left up was now in the corner Gave up on the staffnnThe rooms are also a bit odd Literally no place to hang regular clothes The closet is custom build with drawers in the bottom of the closet but they come up so high that a suit jacket or shirts are too long to fit have to hang out over the front of the drawers Two bathrooms but no room to hang your clothes HmmnnMy colleague had sewerage smell in his room source unknownnnDont count on a quick trip downstairs to pick up a newspaper in the morning For some reason they get delivered to the Mandalay shops first thing but not to the Delano So you have to hike all the way from the Delano through the connecting corridor through the casino over to the Mandalay shops to get your morning newspaper This is the same hike you need to do for anythingto go to the pool to go to the gym etc Do not know about you but I do not particularly want to be hiking through the corridors and casino dripping from my work outnnMy recommendation stay in Mandalay not the Delano Clean nice rooms and you do not have to hike to get to everything
