“Tru by Hilton Ankeny did not disappoint. Quiet, cozy, and exactly what I needed for the trip. Spotless rooms and the service went above and beyond. I'll be recommending this spot to everyone I know.”
“I accidently left my brand new watch at this hotel and they found it and sent it back ro me within days !!! Breakfast was better than any Rinky dink hotel and the staff is always amazing to me! Will be back and recommend 10x over ! Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou”
“Great location. Great staff. Best hotel “free” breakfast I’ve had in years. Room was clean. Bathroom fan actually removed moisture during showers so the mirror didn’t fog up. It might be just me but both the mattress and pillows were too firm. Others may like it that way. Overall a great experience.”
“The hotel was good, the staff was nice, and the location was great. The breakfast had a good variety. The hotel was full this weekend, and they did a good job keeping the food filled. I did think our room was a bit small, but not awful. The heater wouldn't keep up at times, and it wasnt that cold out. This next part will probably not effect your stay, and you might not even notice it. I also know this probably has nothing to do with Hilton as a brand, but they should black list the contractor who built this place. This location is newer, and it looks like they already need to replace things. In the main room it looked like the floor was starting to bow some. The first night the breaker for half the room tripped, we were just charging our phones. The front desk person made it seem like this happens pretty often. The bathroom looked to be the worst. The seal around the shower has a gap, so water escapes while you are showering. The extra water is making the flooring bow, worse. There are also gaps in the flooring, one in the center of the floor. The other looks like they couldn't be bothered to cut another peice of flooring, to make it go all the way to the wall. The small wall next to the shower is not even close to being straight. The caulking around the shower looked to be finger painted on. Once again that lasted part shouldn't stop you from staying here. It was just very noticeable to me.”
“I liked that there were restaurants within 2 miles. You can even walk over to some of them. Soon as I entered the lobby it was clean. My room was too. Rosa the supervisor at the front desk was super friendly! She can give you suggestions where to eat and where the attractions are. I forgot the bartenders name, but she was awesome too. Breakfast was always stocked. Will definitely stay here again if I come back to Iowa for training.”
“Stopped in talked to Alex at the front. She is very helpful. Told me all the benefits of staying at the hotel. They got a pool a fitness center and it said it really good price. I’m gonna stay here next time I come God bless Alex.”
