It was very convenient and clean. The rooms were very clean and the beds were very comfortable. The only negative is there is no breakfast, but there are restaurants close by. We will definitely stay there again.

Christy at the front desk was not pleasant. Computers were down, she complained how tied she was, been their since 6:30...... Our room keys did not work and she was no where to be found. I called the number, no one answered, I rang the bell, no answer, I knocked on the door looked outside. Unable to find her. She finally came back from the back of the building and smelled overwhelming of cigarette smoke. She did not greet us or welcome us. The room was good. Bad service.

The room we were given was already occupied. Luckily, when we walked in, no one was there but it was full of their stuff. I was worried the whole time that the same thing was going to happen to us.

Spacious, clean and safe!

My son and I were traveling across the country and I found My Place when I searched for hotels. Never heard of it but pictures looked nice. Reviews were good so we stopped. Not disappointed at all. Staff was friendly, rooms were clean and spacious. Easy on and off highway. Bed was even firm and pillows were nice and fluffy. Trying to see if we can stay at more My Places on our way back home.
