The staff is amazingly friendly and helpful. I liked how clean and updated the hotel was. Nice new bathroom, comfortable mattress. The only thing I noticed is the absence of a coffee maker in the room or in common area like the lobby. But once you go down for breakfast buffet- it’s a feast with great coffee and variety of breakfast options. The area where the hotel is located is great as well, right by the Riverside park which is also a beautiful place to visit, walk or run there.

The Tru brand is not to my liking. Small rooms with no carpeting or closets or drawers with a tiny workspace. That said this property is well run and maintained. Parking fees are extra and charged by a third party.
