Spacious, clean and safe!

My son and I were traveling across the country and I found My Place when I searched for hotels. Never heard of it but pictures looked nice. Reviews were good so we stopped. Not disappointed at all. Staff was friendly, rooms were clean and spacious. Easy on and off highway. Bed was even firm and pillows were nice and fluffy. Trying to see if we can stay at more My Places on our way back home.
