My Place Hotel

My Place Hotels of America was founded by a team with nearly 40 years of hotel industry experience, notably co-founder Ron Rivett, who established Super 8 Motels in 1974. Following the Super 8 sale in 1993, Rivett continued property development until 2011, when he identified a post-recession need for clean, comfortable, and affordable accommodations suited for both short and long-term stays. The first My Place hotel opened in Dickinson, ND in February 2012, leading to a successful two-year proof-of-concept phase with five company-operated locations; by January 2014, the validated model was ready for franchising.
