I spent 15 years in the hospitality industry, which really helped me develop an eye for noticing excellence in this field. At 41 years old, I have plenty of experience with hotel stays. I don't believe a company in the industry ever reaches perfection, but striving for it makes all the difference. I've been to other hotels that were just as nice. I've been to much more expensive hotels that, rightfully, should have been nicer from a luxury standpoint. However, this review is mainly about the level of service, which has far exceeded my expectations. From the moment I met the manager, James, I experienced something that I rarely experience in the hospitality industry: true excellence. This is an extended-stay hotel, and it has been the first time that I have stayed for a longer period of time at a hotel. I mention this because it is one thing to achieve excellence for a day, but to hit that mark day after day is a true testament to a phenomenal employee. James' level of hospitality and service has been so exceptional that I was able to use our experience as a teaching moment for my four children. My children have stayed at other hotels with me, which helped them see the differences we've experienced at "My Place," and specifically with James. Our first arrival was at night, and we were greeted by another great employee, Jessica, who directed us to speak with James about an extended stay and spoke very highly of him. The next day, when we met him, both my wife and I immediately knew why Jessica spoke so highly of him. It is a rare trait for someone to be able to immediately put themselves in another person's situation and then adapt their customer service in real time. That is not only a rare skill in today's world, but also a mark of a genuine person who actually cares about their job and their customers' experience. I have stayed at Hilton hotels that were very nice, but the hospitality aspect often felt robotic and forced. Fakeness always bleeds through body language, and it always makes me feel uncomfortable. It was so refreshing not to experience that here at My Place and to interact with someone who is both professional AND genuine.
