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.

Great Stay

The room was clean, quiet, and huge. We loved having a full kitchen. There were several restaurants very close. Shonda at the front desk was amazing--very friendly and helpful. Overall, great stay!

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.

Great place for a quick stay, nothing fancy but convenient location. Friendly staff, quiet stay, and decent rooms with a kitchen if you need it. They are pet friendly which is great but our room smelled like a wet dog. So I would recommend asking if they have rooms that they don’t allow pets in for a future stay. Overall a great place for a great price!

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.
