Tru by Hilton Rockwall Dallas

The visit was a wonderful stay, the room was clean as well as the bathroom. the staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel was nice and quiet during our sleep. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. We enjoyed the effort the staff had put into making our visit a memorable experience. The options for the local restaurants was unlimited. The shopping down the road was great for her and I.

Great stay The hotel was great. Even offered corn hole, a pool table and other fun activities in the lobby. The location close to the Harbor is fun, too. They offer 24 hour market with plates and cups and plastic silver. Only two small downsides were the lack luster breakfast (My kids said NEVER eat the pancakes unless you like rubber.) and cups were not standard in the room for water. (Had to go to the front desk for some.

Clean rooms and lobby

The gentleman at the desk was nice.

For a hilton felt a little run down and cheesy. The squeeze bottles in the bathroom are probably proving the point. But overall decent stay for the price.

Pros: decent breakfast, daily variations; comfortable (queen) beds; clean room, tidy; roomy shower (no tub in this room). Staff uniformly friendly, including housekeeping. Cons: WHY do hotels have random, weak lighting? No ceiling light fixtures? Just hither and yon wimpy bulbs? And WHY is the shower water pressure so abysmally weak? Impossible to get clean, quickly. Plus the shower has two temperature settings: HOT! and HOTTER! Sink? Same problem. Hotel is on a hillside leading away to the harbor, so cellphone use is spotty, at best. Accessing hotel WIFI also spotty. Sheets were flimsy and would not stay on the mattresses. Odd, that. Both of the elevators stink, badly enough that we held our breath traveling the 4 floors to/from our room. A smell like (sorry, TMI) vomit mixed with the smell of sulfur as if a box full of matches were briefly lit, then snuffed out. And over the 2 days, this odor did NOT dissipate! Mid-May and the hotel pool was not available. In Texas. Conclusion: if I can't access my mobile data and WIFI is spotty, I'll have to choose a better-located hotel. A weekend respite still needs internet access.
