We stayed at the Hotel Camino Real in November 2007.
Very convenient to the airport, safe and clean with modern American style rooms. It is a half mile from the Managua airport. I like the pool under the palm trees, great for a swim when you get off the plane.
The breakfast buffet had a lot of good American style food, cost $10 extra plus 15% tax. Not included in room price. A very good breakfast. Not gourmet, but good. Waiters were very friendly.
I didn't use the hotel phone, didn't want to pay exorbitant rate. I used my phone card. I thought all the staff were very helpful. Casino is next door, I took a peek but did not gamble there. Downtown Managua is 20 minutes away.
