Always liked My Place. Appreciate the full size fridge and the sink, spacious rooms and also like the towel hooks next to the shower door. One thing that's strange is you have dishwashing liquid but there's no dishes.

Room was clean but no shower curtain in the bathroom. No soap at the bathroom sink (used what was in the tub area from the dispenser bottles). Location is perfect for anybody who wants to enjoy adventureland, the casino, or wants to do a movie weekend as a really great movie theater is only 100 yards a way. Will use again, but will double check the room before accepting as is and see if another is available the next time.

Only there 1 night, designed as intended for longer stays, but bed is too close to the wall, would have to use the small dining table as a desk, would need outlets and more direct lighting over it. Body wash container was empty, toilet was NOT completely cleaned; TV guide not up to date.
