Disappointed visit….!
Very disappointed with the cleanliness of our room. I did let the front desk know about it the day after. I will send pictures. The front desk gentleman was very nice. Also, we were greeted by an employee named Hilda, she was very happy and made us feel welcomed. The breakfast employee, didn’t look happy to be there, another employee definitely didn’t like her job!! No greetings from either one. Please promote Hilda!!!
This was an amazing place to stay! We were close to everything & great food! The staff were helpful & so nice, everything was clean & the breakfast was amazing! 10/10 will stay again!

Convenient location, great breakfasts options!
When we called front desk no one ever answered. The t.v. only had 3 Chanels. Housekeeping was rude when we asked for towels.
Lobby area was very inviting with calm atmosphere.Breakfast was excellent. Would have liked to been able to enjoy enjoyl the lobby area patio a little more but we had plans for this trip. The plants and bushes along the street are lovely but needed to be trimmed back. They obstruct the drivers vision while trying to leave the parking lot. All the employees were helpful friendly and smiling. Our room had two lights not working and the electric outlet by the bed would not work. I will definitely stay again. Thhave the
Great location. Clean rooms. Friendly service. I booked it because I wanted a decent access to the beach (furthest drive was 20 minutes away and restaurants/nightlife/shopping options. I could'nt have choosen a better spot.
The hotel staff is very friendly and always willing to solve any issues. The breakfast was a winner for my whole family! We save at least 100 bucks a day just alone on not spending $$ on breakfast! Very clean and very safe!
This was a last minute booking and they accomidated us with no complaints. Everything went smoothly and it was a great stay. Also have to add the people working in the lobby were really nice and professional.
Great place. I have stayed at Hyatt's for over 10 years but trying Tru was a great selection. Loved that they have coffee 24/7 they also offer complementary fruit during the day. Bkfst was great with different options for different appetites. Pancakes and oatmeal were delicious. Late PM coffee on 8/2 was way too light it didn't taste like coffee they probably didn't used quantities accordingly. Ck agent with 2 different color eyes was great, however I would change the ck in speech about insidentals from " in case something is broken or stolen" to "in case something is broken or missing" because it makes you feel uncomfortable. Other than that they offered a great attentive service.
