What guests think

At Tru by Hilton Wilmington, reviewers consistently praise the friendly, accommodating staff and very clean, modern spaces, while noting trade-offs like compact rooms with limited storage, occasional housekeeping lapses, and a pool that has sometimes been closed or closes early.

Guests also enjoy playful common areas with a pool table, ping pong and cornhole, pleasant patios, and convenient access to the adjoining hotel's bar and restaurant. Many note rooms lack in-room microwaves or coffee makers, with occasional low shower pressure, HVAC or hallway noise, and mixed mattress comfort. The location is handy for reaching shops, restaurants, UNCW/airport, downtown and beaches by car, and breakfast is generally appreciated (pancake maker, hot items), though some found the selection limited or inconsistently maintained. Expect a clean, lively, value-focused stay with standout service and playful amenities.

Every staff member I encountered was cheerful, friendly and helpful. It has a fresh and fun decor and beautiful pool area. The Tru is uniquely connected to another Hilton-brand hotel that has a good restaurant and bar. The bartender, Michelle, was a great server and made excellent cocktails. There's a gym and laundry facilities onsite as well as some options for board games and cards, a pool table, and a wi-type golf game. We will definitely stay again!

It’s a newer hotel for one thing. It’s connected to their upscale sister property which has a bar and restaurant. The pool area looks beautiful but wasn’t finished. What I love most though were the women at the registration desk as well as another employee named Taylor who went above and beyond to help me when the coin operated washer wasn’t working. She arranged to wash my laundry! Beds comfy and nice breakfast.

Property was recently opened so everything was in good condition and clean. It can be a bit pricey considering it’s not super close to downtown or the beach. The room was clean but small, just a mini fridge with no freezer, and no in-room microwave or coffee maker. TV only has access to cable, Netflix and YouTube, no other major streaming services (dumb!) Parking is very limited, and that was with only half the property open. Pool and bar are shared with the adjoining Lela hotel; it was not open yet but looks like it’ll be very nice. Staff was friendly and helpful. Nice breakfast spread with pancake bar, hot items and breads.

Not what I expected from Hilton. Description stated restaurant on site but there wasn't one. Room didn't have the usual amenities - no microwave, no coffee machine in room, no closet to hang your clothes. Coffee available in the lobby but no way to heat it up after you returned to your room. It was a beautiful day and even though the patio was set up access was closed. Won't stay there again

The front desk staff was EXCELLENT. We received the service of a 5-star location. The facility was clean and modern. The pool area was nice. I loved that there were multiple cabanas/lounge areas. The only thing that made the stay ok was the room. I've never stayed at a Tru before. I was surprised that the room was very small. There was only one chair. No closet no drawers of any type. The bathroom was large, which was a plus, but the squeeze bottles for hand soap, lotion, shampoo etc was made for persons who have very good hand strenght. I understand it probably saves money, but there must be a better design to use. Also, we had a late start one morning and asked for house keeping, who came before 10 to come back later. They did not. They ended up returning after being asked to do so by the front desk the day before we left. That was not ideal.

Only issue was that our room made lots of unidentifiable, annoying sounds that made it hard to sleep. A few times an hour, there would be this rattling/knocking sound coming from the walls and it would repeat every few seconds over the course of 4-5 minutes, getting slower and slower until it stopped, but then it would start again after only a few minutes of peace. Because of this, it was impossible to stay asleep for longer than an hour or so each night, which made me super tired for the duration of our trip.

The property is newer, and very bright and colorful. However, everything is bare minimum basic. The room was tiny with absolutely no storage and impractical furniture. The mattress was cheap and saggy, and it had cheap polyester sheets with a duvet that lacked a duvet cover. Breakfast was bare minimum basics that ran out frequently. It was only $30 a night cheaper than the more upscale sister property next-door. The property reminds me more of a motel six and a Hilton property. Was very disappointed.

When I arrived the computer system had failed. I stood in line for approximately 40 minutes to get checked in. After getting check-in I was not given the room I reserved and was told by the staff that they only guaranteed a room and not the specific room setup I requested since I booked through Expedia. Going forward in order to get the room I wanted I would have to book directly with the Hotel.

My room was very clean, and the location is great - the beach is a bit of a ride but that’s Wilmington for you, unless you stay by the beach. I would note one small small thing the bed, it’s not bad it’s doable but don’t do to much.
