Every staff member I encountered was cheerful, friendly and helpful. It has a fresh and fun decor and beautiful pool area. The Tru is uniquely connected to another Hilton-brand hotel that has a good restaurant and bar. The bartender, Michelle, was a great server and made excellent cocktails. There's a gym and laundry facilities onsite as well as some options for board games and cards, a pool table, and a wi-type golf game. We will definitely stay again!
