Everything about the facility is great. I do not like parking fees but appreciate it was only $6 a night vs $20. Oh well I guess that’s the price of progress!

The property is nice and easy access. The parking lot is on the property and it is not a parking garage and they charge $6.50 a day. Just don’t understand that one. I can see my car from my window in my room.

The property appeared fairly new but was non descript. The room was clean and nice. Unwelcome surprise: guests now required to pay for parking. The parking lot is not even gated or monitored for safety; just purely an extra fee.

My first time staying at a Tru. Great experience. Friendly concierge. Great friendly and comfy rooms. Nice vibe. Dog-friendly. The only ointment: Parking is an extra $5 per day. But I wouldn't hesitate coming back.
