Staff was great, hotel location was convenient, rooms were good, nice n clean.
We had a wonderful stay here. The staff from the time we checked in to the time we left was so attentive and so nice. The room was clean and so was the property. We had no issues the whole stay.
I stayed at a Tru hotel when I was in Florida last year and I loved it so much that I said to myself when we go to the beach this year, we will stay at a TRU and I am so amazingly pleased that the customer service and cleanliness is consistent!! I suggested to family that we should stay there as well!
The pool was crystal clear and well maintained. The staff were helpful and kind. The hotel is close to the airport and near multiple places to eat.

We were there four nights and the room wasn’t cleaned once! No changing of the sheets, we had to asked for clean towels. The staff were extremely nice and the property was clean.
Everyone who worked at the front desk from our initial visit to the last was nothing but polite and helpful. The room was exactly what we needed and had all the amenities to make our stay wonderful. The breakfast bar had some diverse options too which we heavily enjoyed. The pool was perfect for us to enjoy with our little one who really loved his time in the water. One of the nights we decided to not go out for dinner cause of the storm and instead ate at the restaurant attached to the hotel and everything we had was delicious. We will definitely stay here again in the future and highly recommend it to anyone looking to stay in the area.
The staff was very attentive. The room was good, though I would suggest the hotel add better lighting for the evening; during the day, you just need to open the curtains. Breakfast was good, and the young woman organizing it was very helpful and attentive. The pool was nice—families can have a relaxing and fun time there. Everything about the hotel was good; I would recommend it.
Staff was all very friendly. The breakfast buffet had an assortment which was very tasty. Rooms were very clean and spacious pool area was very clean and seating comfortable
I've stayed at Tru in various cities, but this is the first Tru I've visited that had a pool. It was connected to another Hilton hotel which made for a better experience because of the added amenities (pool, golf simulator, onsite restaurant, etc.). Every time I visit the area I plan on staying at this particular hotel.
Everyone and everything here at the Tru in Wilmington made our stay relaxing,comfortable and enjoyable. It's a very nice hotel to base oneself if you're in the area.
Everything was awesome and excellent service. The only thing I think they need is a designated pet area with grass and better. They have this tiny spot of dirt which is not nice.. but other than that I loved my stay
