Tru By Hilton Cleveland, TN

I’ve stayed in plenty of hotels and never written a review before, but this new Hilton is worth mentioning. The place is new and really nice, with a colorful, spacious lobby, three tucked-away spots for reading or working, and a pool table at the back. Outside, there’s a lighted patio with lovely all-weather seating. Check-in and checkout were seamless. The breakfast was delicious and had choices for different tastes. The food area was thoughtfully arranged too: angled tables made it easier to get around the stations, and the dirty dishes section sits behind a partial glass wall, out of diners’ view. I was especially impressed by the room’s modern but warm design. It’s clearly planned for both looks and convenience: shelves instead of drawers, easy-to-clean engineered vinyl floors rather than carpet, a dimmable floor lamp, a phone charging station with wireless charging, a movable desk, and hooks instead of a closet. Who needs a two-foot closet for four hanging items anyway? The shower was beautiful, with a glass door and a foot prop for shaving your legs.

Everything was spotless in what seems to be a brand-new motel. I got in around midnight to a clean, warm room at 73 degrees. The shower’s soft water was a detail I especially liked. Breakfast was awesome, and the attendant was really friendly. A wonderful place to spend the night.

The breakfast was such a help in the mornings, with plenty of choices, so we didn’t have to head out to eat. My family was really happy here. The rooms were roomy and very clean, and every staff member we met was friendly and ready to help. I wish five stars were more! Whoever runs this Hilton is doing a wonderful job, and we’d happily recommend it.

The grounds were lovely, and I slept well in a very comfortable bed. Breakfast looked appealing, with farm-fresh options. I was in room 432 from 10/17-10/18, and it was absolutely spotless. There wasn't a mark on the shower doors, glass, or window. The care taken by the women who cleaned it deserves to be recognized. I’m a very messy person, so I really appreciated how impeccable the service was. The one thing that disturbed my night was the A/C. It made loud noises at random and woke me once or twice. Still, it felt safe and pleasant, and I had a restful stay. I’d come back.
