Exceptional Stay at TRU by Hilton Garland-Richardson As a…read morelifetime Hilton Diamond member who has stayed at hundreds of Hilton properties worldwide, I've come to appreciate the little details that set a truly outstanding hotel apart. My recent stay at the TRU by Hilton Garland-Richardson exceeded my expectations in the most thoughtful way. The team left a selection of delicious snacks along with a very kind, personalized handwritten note in my room. In today's fast-paced world, this genuine touch of hospitality and the "power of the pen" truly stood out and made me feel genuinely valued and welcomed. The service was warm, the property was clean and comfortable, and the overall experience was memorable. It's clear the staff takes pride in delivering exceptional guest experiences. Highly recommended -- I'll definitely be returning on my next visit to the area. Thank you to the entire TRU Garland-Richardson team! Rod Gray Cypress, TX Lifetime Hilton Diamond Member

I am still here until the morning, but I felt compelled to write this review early. This is easily…read morethe worst hotel stay I've ever had due to a lack of cleanliness from the hotel and it's housekeeping staff. On Thursday I asked to have the room cleaned and they did not clean it at all. On Friday I asked again. They came in and put new towels and sheets, but did not clean the bathroom. They left the bathroom with hair in the sink, speckles of feces in the toilet bowl, and some urine stain drops on the bathroom floor. All the front desk could say was sorry. I asked again today (saturday) to have it cleaned and gave them a list of what to pay attention to. They cleaned the sink. Only half way cleaned the toilet (basically just the low, visible part...up around the rim was still filthy, and just left without cleaning the urine stains off the floor. When I informed the front desk, again they just said sorry. At this point I asked if I could be put in another room and they said they didn't have any available. But yet, the parking lot is slightly less than half full. Additionally, they have a garbage can out front that has been overflowing for 2 days in a row now. This hotel is FILTHY and their housekeeping staff will cut corners and try to take shortcuts to get in an out, and the staff takes ZERO accountability. I would avoid this place like the plague, cause quite honestly, you might actually get it staying here.

When we arrived, parking was a little tricky to figure out at first, but valet stepped in right away and made it easy. We booked a King corner suite for a one-night stay, and it felt like the perfect upgrade for a quick escape. At check-in, the bellman was incredibly helpful--guiding us through the parking garage layout and sharing recommendations for nearby restaurants, a coffee shop, and the on-site boutiques. The property has a true resort-style feel, and the amenities definitely elevate the experience. Our room was on the fourth floor with a beautiful view of the surrounding area, which made the stay feel even more special. The only minor disappointment was the lamps on the side of bed, to turn them off were turn knobs. But thats a first world problem (lol). This is a must visit hotel and we will certainly be back.

The check in process was super fast, the fastest and most efficient I've ever experienced. Check out process was super easy, just drop the keys off in a box and call it a day. The location is very convenient, right by 190 with many restaurants, a mall (one exit down), a walmart, a target, and 2 gas stations close by. The hotel lobby feels humid. Each area has its own "scent", the lobby, the elevator, the hallway, and the actual room. Definitely has an older scent to the whole place. The hotel is definitely on the slightly older side, so it was an overall average stay and we knew that. We didn't get a straight sleep any of the nights throughout the stay because of the fluctuating room temperature. We're both hot sleepers, so when the AC turns off it warms up pretty quickly. When the AC turns back on it gets pretty loud, the machine itself is loud and the bed is right next to the AC. We were woken up either from the temperature or the loud AC. Again, we did not have any high expectations. It would definitely made the stay a lot better if the temperature was more consistent. Bottom line: The hotel did its job.

So...it would have been helpful to know that this hotel is currently doing renovations. The sliding…read moredoors as you walk in don't work properly and there is a scaffold and plastic up and active renovations in process as soon as you walk in. Just a little un-inviting. It seems due to the renovations, their continental FREE Breakfast was no longer being offered very disappointed, as this is one of the main reasons we chose this hotel for a quick overnight stay. The room was a bit dated with a large hole in the curtain, a hole in the door, rust on the tub, and a bad leak in the faucet of the tub. I reported the leak immediately and the rust on the tub to which a very nonchalant "I'll let maintenance know" was the response. I'm an IHG Rewards Member and most of my IHG stays have been tagged with great customer service, kind and caring staff, and great Breakfast. This one failed on all three. Grateful always for a place to rest our heads, but it just wasn't what I expected, by far. I booked online through their direct website, but I've seen hotels post renovations in process to prepare their guests - especially when it affects amenities. My suggestion is that they do so to avoid further poor reviews.

Found this hotel using Hotwire by selecting the price and viewing the property name afterward. For just under $50/night, we secured a room here for a mid-week trip to Dallas. This place is somewhat hard to find if you don't know where it is: the sign is small, and it's nestled behind a few buildings. Just turn in when you see a Wendy's, and you can get there fairly easily. Your GPS might get a little confused though. The unremarkable exterior did not prepare us for what we found when we opened the doors here: double french doors open to a high-end-looking lobby, complete with library, several sitting areas, and a fireplace. Front desk is attentive and quick, friendly and courteous. We were immediately helped and on our way to our room within minutes. The room was clean and bigger than expected, with a full size refrigerator, two-burner stove complete with dishes, and a flat screen TV and super comfortable bed. We were nearly late to check out, we slept so well; which rarely happens for us in a hotel! The property itself is very well kept- there's an interior court yard with a gazebo and a pool. Wish we'd brought our swimming suits, because it would have been fun to relax there. Courtyard itself is full of green trees, grass, and flowers, and is well-maintained. Property also has a small fitness room, with towels provided, featuring a weight bench, treadmill, stepping machine, and a bike. As i said, we booked for about $50/night through Hotwire and were really impressed with the quality of this hotel and the customer service. Would go out of our way to stay here again in the future. Highly recommend, especially at that price.

Don't know how long they were in there. Some funky policies. You have to book on the Internet. Did not have Monday through Friday continental breakfast. Small, decent work out room. Outdoor pool that looked nice. Since this is extended stay they change sheets once a week. You can take your towels to the front desk for an exchange. For 64 bucks a night, it works. A bit outdated but it was clean and serviceable. I think this would be good if you had your extended family visiting and they needed a place to stay. We brought our own towels, what they had was ok, just a little thin. Free wi fi, althought you could get an enhanced package and it would have run faster. We would stay here again. It fit the bill for clean, quiet place.

He didn't talk at all and threw a paper at me to sign, but didn't tell me what spaces I need to fill out. He didn't even tell me where to park or find my room. He did grumble a few things as I asked questions, but he did not seem very personable or happy. The room did look nice, as if most of it had been recently remodeled. However, the A/C put out a very strong, musty, odor. This was very off-putting. The mattress was comfortable, but the bedspread was very thin. You pretty much only had sheets to sleep under. In the hallways, exit signs that you'd typically see on the ceiling or attached to the wall we're oddly placed on the floor by the doors. Overall, it was an odd experience. It wasn't completely bad, but my biggest issue was the terrible smell coming out of the A/C.
