BED BUGS ALERT in 402 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Early Thanksgiving morning I was woken up to bites along my arm. I was told by the front desk to email my videos and pictures to management and nothing has been done. This is absolutely unacceptable and disgusting.

We literally had the worst hotel stay at this hotel! We heard doors slamming all night, stomping that sounded like a herd of elephants, paper-thin walls where we could hear music until 1am, and when attempting to call down to the front desk to make a noise complaint, the phone was redirected to an office that doesn’t even ring to the main desk! At 12:30am, I had to get up, go down stairs, and explain why neither I nor my husband could sleep!
When informing the front desk agent the next morning, they had delivered our information to the manager. I never got a call, but received an email with a refund of $35 on a room stay that was $175!! WHAT A SLAP IN THE FACE! Do yourself a favor and don’t stay here! Very very disappointed!

We had a positive experience staying at the tru while waiting to close on the house. It's comfortable and offers a variety of food for breakfast. Walk in shower was a bonus we didn't expect.
