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.

Noisy, rooms were not that clean, pictures of the rooms online were taken when hotel was brand new, rooms do not look like that now. Hotel experiences electric issues. Electric in bathroom didn't work. Floors and walls were dirty. People live in these hotels so it's not the best place to stay.
