The balcony view picture used by this hotel is misleading. Some of the rooms do have this view, but the other rooms are partial ocean views only. Also... they charge $20 a night to park your car. This parking fee is buried in the small print, so it was unexpected when I checked in. So basically the "real" nightly rate is their room rate plus $20. Come on TRU... don't play these kind of games. Other than those two complaints, the stay was good. Clean rooms, good breakfast, pleasant staff.

First room AC not working. Second room had no ice bucket, coffee maker. Also had to call for soap and shampoo as squeeze tubes were empty. When checked in, only one elevator worked, few hours later other elevator didn’t work, so no elevator at all until next morning. Also had to pay $20 for parking, which was not disclosed on website, so a surprise at checkin.

We were given a room that wasn’t what we reserved my reservation was for a balcony in front of the hotel with a sea view , instead, they gave us one that the view was of an emergency room, the elevators were not working and we had to take our luggage through 3 set of stairs , the personnel was very attentive, however when we asked for the room we had reserved they did not do anything about it , we liked that the property is across the street from the beach.

Fist and last time at Tru.

First and last time at this hotel. Service was not good. Staff not trained in hospitality. The air conditioning didn’t work the first night of our stay. Our room was never cleaned even though in the bathroom it’s posted that the rooms are cleaned every other day. I never leave reviews but this was bad enough to compel me to let the powers that be know.

We've stayed there several times and always have a great time. The only thing was loss of power that kept the rooms hot and the AC system noisy throught the night. Still had a great time. Will be going back again

Room smelled like wet dog. (They are pet friendly) The bed was a little too firm for our liking. The power went out at midnight on our last night and we left at 3 am when the room temperature hit 80 degrees.

Average with misleading room description

When made the reservation for an ocean view room, when we got into the room it was a sideways view of the parking lot with the beach barely visible. Front desk said we had to ask for ocean front. Poor water pressure in the shower, no maid service. Won't stay there again. Had stompers in the room above us too.
