Travellers describe Tru By Hilton Jacksonville St Johns Town Center as clean, friendly, and conveniently located near shops and UNF, with an enjoyable breakfast and lively lobby games area that suits families and short, minimalist stays.

Rooms are consistently described as small, with recurring complaints about firm or unsupportive mattresses and soft, flat pillows. Guests also point out the lack of a swimming pool and missing in room conveniences like a microwave or coffee maker.

First time at this or any Tru by HILTON. Very pleased with the property and the convenient location. I would consider this an economical yet minimalist hotel. Very clean, comfortable and well appointed though not lush which was the price point I was looking for. The free breakfast was more than adequate and tasty, quite a number of options. Coffee available all day. Decent workout area. Staff very pleasant and welcoming. Definitely returning on my several trips a year north from south Florida.

Clean, comfortable, nice tv, close to restaurants, shopping, and Mayo Clinic. Cab 1 elevator door opened on 3rd floor before the cab was fully level with 3rd floor elevator lobby and I tripped on the edge of the cab. Close speed of both elevator doors is too fast and the door ran into my arm once because it's too fast.

Stopped and stayed the night on our way further south. Extremely happy with our choice. Super clean. Clean floor, sheets, bathroom, everything. Love that there are no carpets. Simple and clean. The included breakfast was great. Much better than other hotels. Everything was brought out fresh and well maintained. Great staff. Will definitely stay at Tru Hotels more often. If you enjoy hotels with moldy musty smells and dirty carpets that are 30 years old then don't book here. This place is simple and clean

Our stay at the Tru Hotel in Jacksonville was outstanding! The hotel’s cleanliness was absolutely immaculate, setting a high bar for our future visits. From the moment we checked in with Jeanette, who was incredibly welcoming and helpful, to our check-out with the gentleman in the Philadelphia Eagles hat (sorry I didn’t catch his name), the level of service was exceptional. Every staff member we encountered was friendly and attentive, making our stay truly enjoyable. When we’re back in Jacksonville, there’s a very good chance we’ll book here again. Thanks to everyone for making our stay so memorable!

TRU Hilton Hotel Stay 6/22/24 I treated my finacee to a hotel close to St Johns Town Center. The Hilton is a nice hotel and our experience was awesome until 25 minutes prior to check out. Then something occurred we have never experienced. Standing unclothed as we were donning our oufits for the day. 6/23/24 at 1035, checkout is 1100, the housekeeper attempted a violent entry into our room. She knocked while she was trying to gain access to our room, no verbalization of who she was. I stated loudly for her to stop as she continued to batter the extra folding mechanism device with our door. Thank goodness we utilized it. 3 times she open and closed our door rapidly and loudly against the folding stop with me requesting she stop immediately. The violence ended and I called the front desk to complain. Soon after we could hear her being spoken too. We were out by 1100. We let the front desk know at counter checkout we would never return to this Hilton. Completely wrong and uncalled for.
