Nice, modern hotel. Bright and colorful! Very small rooms though, but nice lounge areas in lobby. We especially enjoyed the pool table! The breakfast was good. Mainly packaged omelettes, sausage, fruit, cereal, and mini pancakes you can make! The kids loved that. There’s a nice heated pool, but the area around it needs remodeling. It’s gives a motel vibe with an updated pool. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Disliked: Amenities
When we first checked in, we were given a room that someone was already staying in. Bags everywhere, trash, beds unmade. We were told they were checking out. We then got another room where every time you left the room, the door stopper would pop out after closed. So when we return to room we had to wait for staff to let us in to unblock the stopper. Just overall terrible, not good, not pleasant and will not be back at a Tru by Hilton.
