This was possibly the worst hotel experience that I have ever had . I will start off with the size of the rooms are incredibly small. The beds were the most uncomfortable beds I have ever laid in and when I asked for more pillows, I got told that they didn’t have anymore . What hotel doesn’t have anymore pillows?? The pool really isn’t a pool but literally a 9-12 inch splash pad . (Yes the pool depth is 9-12 inches not feet) but the worst part of the experience was that I couldn’t get an hour of sleep because of how uncomfortable I was . I’d go ANYWHERE else but here.

Expect to pay $40 a night to park at the hotel, it is not complimentary and the king room is smaller than I expected but other than that property was nice and clean and has small shops in walking distance.

The room smelled moldy, the mini fridge didn’t seem like it worked (barely cooled). I would not recommend this hotel to anyone with kids. Parking options were limited to $40 per day valet or city parking at $11/day of which we had to wake up at 5 am to re up since we couldn’t do it longer than 12 hours. It’s so inconvenient to unload kids and everything right there for the valet service and then having to have them get your car everytime you need something or going somewhere with the car because you had kids and need car seats and at such a steep price. I personally won’t be returning here.

Everything was good about Tru. Need to do something about the cost of valet parking. Parking for free on street is a good option but had to move car every 2 hours after 9AM.
