I’d rather stay here than at those high $$$ hotels. At least we had a clean, comfortable room with a small kitchenette and a normal house refrigerator. They didn’t put bottles of water on the counter and then a not saying if we drank it, we would be charge $6+ per bottle…I’ve seen that in the very expensive hotels. And, the internet was free…not like the either pay or pay to upgrade and the $$$ places. Over all, I will definitely look for a MyPlace as often as possible for my stays, even if it’s only 1 night.

This was the worst hotel I've ever stayed out. The room was dirty when I got there and when I addressed it with the staff they were rude. The hotel look dirty and they had the manager's dog running around looking grungy and barking at everyone and getting hair everywhere.
