A Stay That Prioritizes Profit Over People Stayed here for 21 days. A few small positives, but overall, it's clear this place is run by someone more interested in cutting costs than taking care of guests. The Good: Staff were incredible No roaches or bed bugs (Only reason I didn't give it 1 star). Built-in bottle opener in the kitchen. Simple, but appreciated. Onsite laundry is available. The Bad: Strict check-in policy - They wouldn't let me check in 30 minutes early. Not a huge ask, but they stuck to the rulebook like robots. No flexibility, no interest in making things easy for guests. Toilet constantly leaks and refills - You'll hear it dripping and refilling all day and night. Refrigerator is loud and always running - Sounds like it's trying to launch. Room won't hold heat - Heater runs constantly, but the temp swings back and forth. It also makes a moaning/whining sound every time it shuts off. Kitchen with no dishes - Full kitchen, but nothing to cook with. No pans, plates, utensils, nothing. Had to go back out and buy my own after already bringing groceries in. No warning ahead of time. Uncomfortable pillows and a terrible desk setup - Bad for sleeping or working. Blackout curtains don't seal to the window - Light pours in around the edges. Cold tap runs hot first - Takes 15-20 seconds of hot water before any cold comes out. Keycard access is unreliable - Doesn't always work, sometimes takes multiple tries. One day, it failed completely while I was stuck outside with groceries. Even the main entrance needs a key card - So people checking in are often stuck outside waiting for someone to notice. Laundry machines require quarters, but the front desk doesn't have any - Was told to go to a store and ask for change. That's the system. Housekeeping is a joke - They claim it's every 4 days, but in 21 days I only had service twice--once because I asked for it. There's a spot on the key card envelope where they're supposed to note your cleaning schedule, but no one filled it out. Internet is nearly useless - Got 800kbps when it actually connected. Used my phone's hotspot instead. Bottom Line: On paper, this place checks a lot of boxes. In practice, almost everything is half-done or broken. It's a classic case of cutting every corner possible to boost profits, with no thought given to the guest experience. Won't be back.

As my 3 week stay comes to an end, I have nothing but great things to stay. 1st and foremost, the staff here has been extremely kind and welcoming. Coming here, I thought it was gonna be too far of a drive every day to JBER, but the route was easy and took only about 20 to 30 minutes, depending on traffic. 2nd I was given my privacy. If I needed anything for my room, they got it for me asap and respected I had to be up and out at crazy hours. Someone was always at the front desk able to help if I needed assistance or any items for my room. 3rd, the room was very clean. I was a bit worried about my drive here. I saw quite a bit of things that made me second guess, but again, the staff kept the lot clear of loitering and the rooms squared away as well as keeping the parking lot clear of snow with easy access. My only complaint which is understandable as it is a business and Alaska tends to be more expensive. But it's $3.50 to wash and $3.50 to dry. That's not to bad if your not planning on laundry often but as I had a smaller packing list I had to wash ofter and it was just a bit taxing. The food at the front counter is a bit pricey but it is so so convenient so I appreciate that. All in all I give 5*. What a great team here. Thank you all for the welcoming stay.

My Place Hotels is an overall amazing place to spend a visit or live in for any amount of time. They have pretty much any appliance you could ask for but ovens (for obvious reasons—that wouldn't be safe to have ovens in every room but maybe some rooms have ovens) including dish soap, microwave, water heating/boiling transparent container, refrigerator, freezer, washing sink, plate cupboards, clothes cupboards, bathroom sink, tub/shower, several mirrors, multi-purpose shelves, television, air conditioning, outside window, lockable door with peephole to see outside from inside but not vice versa, chairs with a table, nightstand, hair dryer, and more. Also, the service, restrooms, air conditioning of the building, technology of the building, and the overall cleanliness is indescribably amazing. It is also extremely close to a variety of popular destinations and, within walking distance, amazing restaurants, I would suggest you go to the Peanut Farm, and it has an extremely affordable price for the amazing quality of this hotel. If you don't rent a vehicle or have a vehicle, no worries; they have a shuttle easily available. I loved this hotel and my My Place experience!

I had a door dash that had Chinese food a knee brace from Walgreens. And the front desk lady and her boyfriend or whoever was there took my food, ate it, and lied to my face. I called down and asked to transfer to her General Manager Alice Lee so I could send a voice mail and she said she would and hung up on me. I went down there and asked that Alice come to the hotel or to have her contact info to talk to her and the front desk lady said no. Called her, and said Alice would speak to me Monday.

Spacious rooms with a kitchenette. It is not totally equipped in the kitchen but they have utensils and appliances to borrow in reception. I wish they had a better blackout for the window since in summer days are super long. The location is fine. Possible to walk to a few restaurants. The staff is not the friendliest, but they do their job. There is coffee available at the front entrance, but not hot tea o cocoa. They have a little convenience store with some food/drink options.
