My Place Hotels of America opened the My Place Hotel-Ketchikan, Alaska. The new hotel is the brand’s 29th location to open nationally, and the second to open in the state of Alaska. Located at 3612 North Tongass Avenue, the three-story, extended-stay hotel offers 64 guestrooms with waterfront views of the Tongass Narrows. Located between the KTN Airport ferry terminal to the north and the AMHS ferry terminal to the south, My Place guests will have easy access to the airport and a variety of local restaurants and shops.
“We are excited and humbled to be welcomed to the community of Ketchikan, Alaska! Our mission is to provide an affordable, high-quality lodging option for the local residents, the people of neighboring islands, and those visiting this wonderful city from afar through the year,” Joe Dinger, VP of development at Pacific Northwest, My Place Hotels, said in a statement. “We welcome you to join us. Our team’s promise is to ensure My Place Hotel-Ketchikan, AK is your Southeast Alaskan home away from home!”
Ketchikan’s newest hotel now serves area travelers as the only newly built extended-stay hotel. At the helm of operations is Ketchikan’s own Carol Domme, the property’s GM.
“It’s very exciting to be on the cutting edge of something new, and I feel so honored to be part of everything,” Domme said in a statement. “My Place has provided us with all the support and training we need to make this a tremendous success, and Ketchikan has made us feel so welcome in the community! We have a dynamic staff in place, ready to provide exceptional guest service for our new guests and our old friends alike!”
