A Pleasant One Night Stay for Us

Happy that we chose this My Place Hotel to make our one night stay. Clean room, helpful staff. Nothing to complain about for us.

Jodi, 2-night trip

Room was spacious and clean
Bret, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
Katie, 3-night trip
