Rooms were very clean, friendly staff. Plenty of places to eat nearby and the price was very reasonable. Only thing was no pots or pans to cook with or dishes to use. Luckily I read the reviews before we went so I knew to bring them. Great family trip

The property was clean and bathroom is big. I did not realize this was an extended stay hotel. We only stayed for 1 night so we did not use amenities. Bed was low to the ground but room is bigger than a traditional hotel room. Hotel is older and showed signs of wear and tear.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Stayed with my pets and the pet fee was reasonable. Rates were affordable for the quality of the room. Located right a cross the center from two different restaurants making dinner easy. Highly recommend the Texas Roadhouse! Overall the room was really nice, it seemed to have been recently updated. However, I did have an issue with the fridge and microwave not turning on, which I reported to front desk at checkout. Overall I enjoyed my stay and would stay at a My Place Hotel in the future.

Upon entry into the building, it smelled amazing! That is always a plus in my book. When we got to the desk, Shanda was amazing helping us get our rooms situated. She was so polite and easy to talk to. We get to our room and it was amazing as well. A full fridge. A stove top as well as alot of cabinet space. The beds were amazingly comfortable. It felt like I was in a cloud the 3 nights we were there. We will definitely stay at this hotel again.

Disliked: Staff & service
We stayed overnight at this facility on 8/30/26. The hotel was not bad at all, it was clean and comfortable. the night staff was another story - we had a horrible experience. We checked out early the following morning. Nobody was at the counter so I rang the bell. it looks like I woke up the staff that was on duty, She was very rude and even told Me that “nobody forces you to stay here “. We did not have a good experience at all. When I told her that I will report her actions to her manager, she replied “Go right ahead”. I discussed the incident with the hotel manager and hopefully, this will be addressed accordingly because I hate for them to lose future guests because of the bad attitudes of some of their staff.

While the place isn't fancy, it did have what we needed. The front desk people answered questions and were very friendly. One even got me a cup of ice. There isnt an ice machine, but the fridge in the room makes it(if you remember to turn it on). Short walk to the casino and Adventureland. Plenty of eating choices around it too. Parking lot had plenty of room too!
