Road Trip to Great Canyon:Day One, night 意料之外的好旅館

Everybody knows, there are tons of hotels and resorts in Las Veas, you can say it's a most competitive hotel business here. The closer to the Las Vegas blvd, the much more bucks you need to pay.

When I arrived Las Vegas, it's already two pm, I was damn exhausted...All I want is just a clean shower and comfertable bed to get a sleep. I randomly pick one hotel as my current destination from my GPS. It told me 'Holiday inn Suites', 'Ok, it's fine'. 'Drive 5 miles then turn right...' the cold, feelingless GPS lady told me to do so...

Turn on the radio, press 'scan' to see if still any talk program still on the air for this late night and kept driving and driving...god, how come 5 miles route takes like forever!

'Make a U turn , if possible, and arrival destination on the right...', the cold, boosy woman taught me how to drive again.

Finally, I am here!
I finished parking quickly, and walked toward to the front door of the hotel, then looked up the Hotel sign, 'WTF? it's not Holiday inn' it's Hampton Inn! I think I was too tired to seeing and hearing things at night. But any way, it's still a hotel.

When I get in, the environment is pretty comfortable. The front desk lady asked me with a nice smile, 'Any room still available?', 'uh... we have double queen bedroom, and one single king bedroom...'
'Which one is in the higher floor?' I ask.
'the king bed..'
'Great, I 'll take it!' 'Oh, by the way, how much is it?'
'You will check out tomorrow, right?' she asked.
'Yep, I just need a place to sleep and head to Great Canyon tomorrow morining.'
'I see, it's $49, needs to add tax'
(Holy ...cow, it's so cheap than I thought! and of course I took it!)

'Oh, I forgo to tell you...' When I was heading to my room, she held me up.
'We offer free breakfirst buffet tomorrow till 10am, would you lke to have a morning call?
'That would be great!' I said.
'and this is the internet access account and password by the way'
'In the room?' I asked (how stupid the question is...)
'Yes!' she siad.
(wow, $49 per night + free breakfirst and unlimited internet access in room, so great! @@)

I went bed around 4am, and woke up by 9:30ish, so damn tired...
Anyway, I did a quick morning shower then ran to restaurant to check at how the breakfast looks like. It looks better than I thought! For free meal, this really gets some quality.
It's really a nice hotel!


If I road trip next time and need a hotel to say, I should check in Hampton first!
