Not my cup of tea

2.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 28 Jun 2021
New hotel with a very cute modern design.

Beds are very hard and uncomfortable. Did not get a good night sleep for the days i stayed there. Breakfast was lacking substance and quality. Smashed my knee on the bed frame multiple times a day. They extended the bed frames for extra storage because they do not have dressers or closets, so be aware. I read the reviews prior to booking so I had high expectations and was very disappointed with the lack of comfort and quality. Your room is not cleaned during your stay unless you ask. So don’t expect no daily fresh towels, made beds, emptied trash cans or vacuum everyday.

On a positive note, It definitely was quite and the darkening curtains worked very well. The hotel room also very clean .

Very decent hotel for the price. This was my first stay at a Tru. It has a weird Euro modern vibe. Seriously felt like I was in Switzerland. Staff at the front desk was great! These young ladies either seriously love their job, or are just very good at hospitality. The check in experience was fun and efficient. Seriously, buy them a cake or give them a raise.

The bizarre feel extended to the toiletries which were labeled “No Soap Radio.” Uh. I feel like I’m the only one in the country old enough to get that joke. Very weird, but since I know the reference, I like it.

I’ll definitely stay again.

Emily’s a gem. She’s always accommodating and kind along with all the staff we’ve encountered thus far.
Rooms are clean which we greatly appreciate. The hotel has an indoor swimming pool and fitness center and also offers complementary breakfast.

The hotel room was good and location to rt 87 was fantastic. Front desk staff were incredibly friendly both evening and morning.. helpful, kind and caring.
Breakfast was wonderful! Loved the care and energy that Jessica and Shantasia put into this. I already had a challenging trip taking my Mom (84) back home and traveling long hours. This place made a difference! Thank you : )

Room tip: Call the hotel directly to make reservations... their website number tried to charge me more!

The lobby was inviting with super friendly staff. The room was clean with a comfortable bed, and several amenities. Pool area was delightful and easy to reserve, and the complimentary breakfast was delicious, with friendly servers and a huge variety!! Thank you for the awesome stay, this was the first enjoyable one we’ve had in over a year!
