This was my first time staying at a MyPlace Hotel. I loved that I had a stove top, full size fridge, microwave in my food that allowed me to bring my own food and cook. It saved me a lot of money on eating out. Nice staff, clean rooms. I had an issue with my door but I got it to work. No complaints

We had a great one-night stay, the staff was very friendly and welcoming and the room was spacious with a decent kitchen setup. The only issue we had was that there was some hair underneath the extra blanket on the bed which was gross, but overall it was a good stay!

Basic Hotel if on a budget.

Could use a good update. Carpets felt wet, room had a dirty smell, AC didn't work, young girl at the front desk was not accommodating. All other employees were vere pleasant. I requested adjoining rooms on several occasions throughout the booking process and check-in process and was never accommodated (young girls at the desk). I was disappointing as this was my chance to spend time with my family for the first time in weeks as I was traveling for work.
