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.

Great place for a quick stay, nothing fancy but convenient location. Friendly staff, quiet stay, and decent rooms with a kitchen if you need it. They are pet friendly which is great but our room smelled like a wet dog. So I would recommend asking if they have rooms that they don’t allow pets in for a future stay. Overall a great place for a great price!

Amazing staff! I want to especially call out the manager, Shanda, who was very responsive and got my left item shipped to me in a quick manner.
