Tru By Hilton Lawrence

Breakfast was not as advertised. Minimal choices, no danish or sweet roll

Close to my brother.’s place Easy to find our way to hotel. Everyone was friendly and helpful.

Awesome place to stay in Lawrence. Clean and in a great location. My family stays there when visiting. Great value.

We loved this hotel! Very modern and fun! Had pool tables, games, and neat/fun furniture etc

So we have stayed at this particular hotel 4 times total and it has been a decent place to stay— until this last visit. They changed their cleaning products for the floors to Fabuloso— one of the strongest smelling cleaners out there. (I recognized it from the health clinic I worked at.) The strong smell was so terrible we were unable to sleep the first night. We tried to air out the room via the bathroom fan all night. With windows that didn’t open we could do nothing. We had to move rooms our last night to add another bed for an adult child on our reservation and the entire experience began again with a clean room. To make it worse, when washed with Fabuloso, the floors don’t get clean, they just smell clean. I took a towel from the bathroom to try and wash down the scent with water and ended up with a very dirty towel on what was supposed to be a clean floor! As I worked in housekeeping in a hotel all through college, this made me not feel great. Upside to the hotel— staff is friendly and kind. Management, please stop using this awful cleaner that gives headaches and doesn’t clean! Use your bathroom germicide— that doesn’t seem to smell. We won’t be back until it’s changed since strong smells are also a migraine trigger— not to mention it was just too hard to sleep with the strong smell.

I booked this hotel because it had family-friendly breakfast, which was ideal for my kids. The location is in West Lawrence near a couple of shopping centers, one including a Walmart. Since we were staying for over a week, it was nice to have so many fast food restaurants nearby and away from the areas with traffic. There was also a gymnastics open gym for children down the street, which my kids really enjoyed. There were a few minor inconveniences such as the room phone not working, but the staff very kindly offered their reception phone. Sometimes the pancake maker didn't work, but if you ask staff, they will adjust the bag inside to get it going again. I recommend going within the first hour for breakfast because there are times when most of the good stuff is gone if you take your time coming down. I would definitely stay at this hotel again if not just for the staff. They treated us very well, and it's so nice to have that friendly experience when you're overwhelmed from travel.

Very clean! Very nice and the front desk was very kind
