Tru by Hilton Ft. Lauderdale Downtown

My husband and I stayed here for three nights before a cruise, and we chose this location to stay in for its proximity to Las Olas/downtown shops and activities. Being slightly away from the waterfront of the canals means it is quieter (but you can still hear trains) than the hotels within the action, but it is also a bit of a walk to the Riverwalk; this was not a problem for us but may be for others. Most upsetting is the number of homeless people encamped at the nearby train station, as one worries for the lack of care these people are getting. Many may find this off-putting for their stay, but guests can choose other routes to the pretty river, and there are several excellent restaurants nearby that do not pass the camps. The hotel, itself, is modern and quite clean, and most of the amenities one would desire in a hotel room are there, except for a safe for valuables. Our bathroom was spacious and had a great shower while the main room was on the smaller side but was comfortable. A free breakfast was provided daily, and it was similar to what other hotels may serve in a buffet-style breakfast. We did not try the pool bar (which does serve some food) simply because it does not open for many hours of the day, and we’d had plans keeping us busy between 5:00 and 9:00pm. Overall, we were pleased with our stay, and we were more pleased to be provided an excellent cruise port shuttle option by the hotel staff.

I booked a room after calling the property to see if they would refund me if I had airline issued They promised me that they would take care of me. Well they did. They charged me for everything they could-even an occupancy tax when I never saw the room.

Stayed here two nights on a business trip. Great value, nice hotel with good amenities. Staff very friendly. Will definitely stay here again.

the room was nice, the breakfast was excellent, the only thing we did not like is the area was not pleasant

Latisha the chef was excellent.Breakfast she made was really tasty. Front end staff very friendly and helpful. Price was excellent. Will stay there again.

It’s the first time I experienced 2 hotels in one building. No big deal , it was just different. Parking is an issue. I couldn’t park in the garage. No room so I parked across the street which was a paid lot. I had to get up at 7 am to feed the meter . You can’t prepay. Also , no closet or drawers to put your clothes away. Good location and breakfast was good . Views were awesome from my room !

The checkin staff and stay was awesome. The block right behind had a train station with a lot of homeless.I know that doesn’t mean they are dangerous but I wouldn’t walk by there at night.
