What guests think

Across reviews of Tru By Hilton Gaylord, MI, travelers often praise clean rooms, friendly staff, and a convenient highway-side location, while recurring drawbacks include a basic, sometimes crowded breakfast and noticeable noise from thin walls and upstairs footsteps.

Rooms are modern with comfortable beds, though several guests find them small with minimal storage and no in-room microwaves. Facilities include a lively lobby with games and a kid-friendly pool, and the property is pet friendly, but some report elevator outages, a slippery or chilly pool, and rough patches in the parking approach. Service is widely described as warm and helpful, though isolated reports cite check-in delays, overbooking or room readiness issues, and missed housekeeping. A practical choice for road trips and family visits.

Upon check in I was asked if I was informed that the elevators were out of service. I said no, but at that point, what choice do I have? I was with my 78 yr old mom. Its a good thing she is in great shape and was able to do the steps but it was a major inconvenience. Nothing given for having to deal with that....

Originally booked thru Expedia and because the elevator was down at Tru, we are both handicapped, we had to go to Holiday Inn Express. The booking thru Expedia does not notify you if there is a problem. Yet, all that shows up when you query for Tru are the booking outside Tru. Holiday was set up to take our reservation from Tru but it did cause a little inconvenience.

Only complaint I have was the pool water was ice cold and that was a big reason for our trip was for our 7 yr old to swim. But we were told at check in that it was being worked on. Nothing you can do with mechanical failures. Otherwise fantastic place to stay. Clean spacious room with a great price

We booked this hotel to attend a wedding in the area. Knowing we would be tight on time for the wedding, I asked ahead of time if we could push the check-in time ahead. They told me that I could try calling day of to see if there is any rooms available. Day of, I called three times before I got someone to pick up. I asked her if I could check-in early she said she could only check in-person. We head over in-person and she said "No there are no rooms" deadpanned with no apology. We explained our situation, how we needed to get ready for the wedding if there is anywhere we can change and shower even if it isn't our final hotel room. She rolls her eyes and says "Well, you should've booked a room last night...". I have never been talked to before with so much disrespect before at a hotel, so certainly this is a first. We ended up booking a motel nearby just to shower in. When it finally came to check-in (mind you check-in is at 3PM) at 3:45PM, she says "No there are still no rooms available." I am confused!? I paid for this hotel and almost one hour after check-in they don't have my room ready. I ask if there is anything else I can get, she replies saying they're all booked out. So I couldn't even get my room until after the wedding at almost 1AM. Overall, I would go to another hotel. Place is clean but if you are inconvenienced at all they will do nothing to make up for it and they don't seem to care about your satisfaction.

This is the fast fashion of hotels. While newer, it provides bare minimum in the room. Everything is very small, made cheap, and extremely uncomfortable. Minimal surface space. Zero extras. The walls are paper thin, and the room above sounded like it was housing horses. The heating/cooling is a wall unit, and clicked off/on continuously throughout the night. The blanket on the beds was a mattress cover. The continental breakfast was disappointing, barely edible, and served stomachaches to us. Also, most of the bread items were expired. I would not recommend staying here, or any Tru by Hilton, and definitely will never be back.

The positives- the room was clean and modern. The staff was clean and friendly. The area is very convenient and close by everything! We had problems with the locked, had to try a few times. For an accessible room, the door was heavy. Had to request the bench shower seat that was advertised. The breakfast was subpar. It really delayed our plans to have to go out for breakfast. I didn’t just want to eat toast and pancakes and I’m allergic to eggs.
