10/10 Excellent

"Great place"

Tru by Hilton Saint Joseph

10/10 Excellent

"This is the second Tru hotel I have stayed at. I love that there is no carpet in the room and the floors are clean! The room was clean. We watched tv in the lobby with friends, which was comfortable and had coffee and tea. There was a pool table and board games. Jon and the lady working the front desk this weekend were both so helpful and friendly. They checked in to see how our visit was going. If I’m back in Stevensville, I will definitely stay at Tru. "
