Staff was great and helpful. The room was nice enough. The walls are very thin and can be a problem if you have a noisy neighbor. Our window AC was also not working fully and started having issues. Our sink also was not draining properly. Make sure to pay for your parking which is separate.

I was shocked to discover that there is now a parking fee for use of your parking lot. We have stayed at this Tru hotel many times and not only was this a surprise, but not listed on your web page. Your staff is very helpful and friendly. The main desk clerk, Daniel, was outstanding and the breakfast buffet crew were always friendly and helpful with some easy food. I was also surprised that a light housekeeping was listed for an overnight stay yet none appeared.
Daily light housekeeping is listed.
