8.8/10 Excellent! (861 reviews)
This was my first time staying at a MyPlace Hotel. I loved that I had a stove top, full size fridge, microwave in my food that allowed me to bring my own food and cook. It saved me a lot of money on eating out. Nice staff, clean rooms. I had an issue with my door but I got it to work. No complaints
