My Place Hotel | Minot, North Dakota

After leaving our adventure in Chicago on our journey to Alaska, our next stop was to stay at the My Place Hotels location in Minot, North Dakota. Although the visit was short, this was my first time in the state of North Dakota and My Place made me feel more than welcome!

This particular location is actually the original home of My Place Hotels, so I was very excited to visit! The hospitality at the front desk was the same that I have learned that I can expect from the company.

We arrived late after hitting some unexpected traffic on the way (you never know what will happen on a road trip, so I have learned that delays are usually inevitable at some point!).

 

Despite our late arrival, the lady at the front desk quickly checked us in and was even able to provide us with the Breakfast in Bed option despite our late arrival.

Minot is the fourth largest city in North Dakota and is located only around an hour from the Canadian border. If heading to Canada, this is the perfect stop to relax and get ready to continue your adventure!

We were excited to arrive at My Place after a long drive to get some rest and relaxation! We walked our pets around the property so that they could stretch their legs after being in the car for a good part of the day. Even though we arrived late, we were happy to know that we felt safe in the area so that walking our dogs around for a while was relaxing for us all!

 

After returning to the room, we were more than ready to relax in the super comfortable lounge chair and get a little work done.

It is always nice to be welcomed to your hotel with such hospitality after a long journey. The next morning, it was nice to have hot coffee available in the fully stocked lobby! Check out My Place Hotels to book your own stay!

  2. kagould17 – Not much to tell. After working for 3 companies over 43+ years (38 years 7 months with my last company), I finally got that promotion I had waited my entire career for……retirement. I have been exploring this new career for the past 7+ years and while it is not always exciting, the chance to do what I want for myself and my family instead of what my company wants has been very fulfilling. Early on, there was a long list of projects in my “to-do” hopper and I attacked these projects with a vengeance for the first 9 months of retirement. Eventually, my brain told me that this was not what retirement was about, so it took me another 5 months before my industriousness again took over and I attacked another line of projects, this time somewhat shorter and less complicated, as well as many new projects related to the family weddings in 2016. After going hard for 6 weeks and 3 weddings, my body was telling me to relax, then the flu bug hit and as soon as that was done with me, my sciatic acted up. No rest for the wicked. In 2020 and 2021, the Covid 19 pandemic changed the whole retirement gig. I was lucky to not be still working, for sure. I enjoy photography, gardening, working with my hands, walking, cycling, skiing, travelling, reading and creating special photo and video productions obtained in my first pastime. I may never become wealthy in any of these pursuits, but I already feel I am rich in life experiences far beyond any expectation.

    Hotels can make or break your travels. Glad you found a good one. Our stay in ND was in Watford City and it would have been a lot poorer if not for the nice hotel Teddy’s. Happy travels. Allan

  3. That looks far better than where I stayed when I was in Minot! 😀

      It was a better hotel, but, Watford City likely did not live up to Minot for excitement. It was a very small oil town, with few good restaurants and not even walkable (too may pickups). Cheers Allan

      • Yeah, I suppose the further west you go in the Dakotas it’s all oil towns. I’ve gone through quite a bit of the eastern side of the 2 Dakotas, but have really not done anything west of either Pierre or Bismarck (or Minot). Enjoy your drive north-west!

  6. 1kayaker – I was born and raised in Pennsylvania. I am retired from the military (Navy) and two other careers. Now I am fully retired. I now reside in Virginia. My hobbies are art, photography, kayak fishing, bicycling and writing. My interest in art and photography started not long after I fully retired from all work. I started painting whimsical characters on wooden cut-outs that I would cut from pieces of scrap wood. From there my interest progressed further into the community of art. I am self taught. The mediums I use are oils and acrylics. I use a Sony A77ii camera for my outdoor photography Photography works great with painting. I learn to capture that moment and put it on canvas. Again, this is a self taught experience. I Enjoy fresh water fishing especially in a kayak. It is quiet, I can maneuver in very shallow water and get into places were most boats where can’t fit. I am an avid bicyclist. When I tour on my bike, I will take my camera and sketch pad and ride the country roads. Stopping now and then to take a few pictures or just sketch. Then I try to combine all my hobbies and write a little story of the experiences and stories from my hobbies. My inspiration comes from the outdoors, When I am with nature, I am amazed at the various hues, tones and tints of the palette from the supreme master artist. My goal is to show the outdoors like it was, and like it is, before it will not be.
