Before getting to what everyone wants to know — “Where can we still go to eat?” — a few announcements. •First up: A new hotel in Avondale. My Place Hotels is opening the brand’s 55th hotel off Interstate-10 Exit 131 at 915 N. Avondale Boulevard. The 63-room, four-story hotel was developed by MP Avondale LLC., built by Haydon Building Corp and is managed by Venerts Hotel Management. Jim McDonald of MP Avondale said the owners are excited to introduce the brand and concept they love at a time when the community may need it most. “We will be in a fantastic position to serve leisure travelers once the many events nearby begin rescheduling, but opening up to serve the community of first responders and other essential travelers right here and right now is top priority,” McDonald said. “With kitchens and everything they need in the comfort of their own room, I could not think of a better place for anyone who needs clean, comfortable and flexible lodging.” Each guest room features a My Kitchen, complete with a cooktop, a microwave and a full refrigerator. My Place Hotels offer pet-friendly accommodations, include on-site laundry facilities, complimentary high-speed internet service and a 24-hour My Store, located in the hotel lobby and stocked with an array of supplies for the guests’ convenience.
