Tru hotels have been great! We love that there’s space for kids to have fun as well as adults! We appreciate the fact that dogs are allowed so our buddy can travel with us too! The breakfast staff were especially nice and caring by bringing a baby dining seat out every morning for us. I think the only downside would maybe be that for such a cool and updated hotel, something simple like their toilet paper should be off the same quality as the other toiletries they provide. Our room was great, but the air conditioner had a mildewy smell which we weren’t fond of with our baby also in the room. We still enjoyed our stay because the location was very central and walkable to Crossgates Mall.
