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.

This place is great for travelers that love nightlife, and a downtown experience. I however, was traveling for business and found it too loud for the needs of my stay. Parking was somewhat inconvenient, there is street parking that is monitored in 2 hour increments or valet parking for a fee. The guys at the valet stand are great and provided me the best customer service of the entire visit. The walls of the room are fairly thin, and street noise from local nightlife created a vibrant auditory experience that doesn’t lend itself to late sleepers or early morning risers. There is a grocery store, corner store, and great restaurants within walking distance. I would return to this hotel if staying for a fun getaway, just not for business again.

I was not expecting to pay $42 for parking my own truck! The truck was a duel and I had to park across the road myself and walk all they way back then turn my keys in to the front desk only to be charged a valet fee for the service I did not use! Ridiculous!

All of the staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. The space is modern with fun decor. The available morning breakfast and 24/7 coffee/tea were both really nice. It’s a close walk to Central Ave and easy to navigate nearby areas/public transportation. Overall I really enjoyed this stay for 2 nights; felt safe and comfortable the entire time!

Half of the staff we worked with was pleasant but the others we encountered were unhappy answering questions and seemed to have had a bad attitude. The only parking for the hotel is $40 vallet. Area was nice and room was clean. Just the staff and amenities could have been better.
