Room was clean. I was given a handicap accessible unit, which I did not sign up for. Also, the water pressure in the shower was poor. Beyond that, I enjoyed our stay.

Tru by Hilton Lawrence
The room was not clean. Screws were missing from items in the bathroom. Drops of soap left on bathroom counters. It was family friendly. Plenty of entertainment for kids and adults. I wish there was a microwave in the room.
