"Stay here!"

Reviewed April 01, 2025 NEW

Great stay! Management went above and beyond. Rooms were nice. A/C was cold and the rooms came with a full sized fridge and even ice - NICE! Room rates were great for the area and just a quick walk across the parking lot to the casino if that's your game. Would stay again!

"If you NEED to spend $200/night to sleep well, go elsewhere."

Reviewed March 31, 2025 NEW

Flawless. Spotless. Quiet and safe. Friendly staff. Conveniently located. Wide variety of restaurants all around, many within easy walking distance, even in winter. Movie theatre next door. Refrigerators with ice makers. Bright, spacious rooms. In-room stoves, microwaves and coffee makers. Convenience store in the hotel (snacks, toiletries, as well as kitchen utensils and supplies for those staying longer, like the folks who built the Amazon and Facebook facilities recently), and a more extensive one next door at the gas station. EV chargers just across the road (Tesla and other). Well lit rooms (and parking lot), lots of outlets to charge your devices. TV for those who didn't bring books. Comfy La-Z-Boy type chair for reading or napping (confirmed). All for $85/night with taxes, fees, etc? Why not? If you HAVE to spend $234/night (currently) at a casino where you plan to lose some money, you can do that nearby. OR you could stay at My Place and have an extra $150/night to gamble. Your choice.

"Great stay!"

Reviewed September 09, 2024

We had another great night at this hotel. Our check in with Marquez was easy, quick and friendly. He was so nice and explained our room location along with good energy. He enjoys his job! Room was clean and quiet. The full size refrigerator and freezer were so handy. Love not having to go find the ice machine as the freezer has an automatic ice maker. Parking lot is well lighted and safe. Texas Roadhouse is across the street within walking distance.
