What guests think

Travellers say TRU By Hilton Allen Dallas delivers a clean, modern stay with a convenient location near Highway 75, shops, and dining, though compact rooms and traffic noise are common trade‑offs to consider.

The lobby’s pool table and games, easy parking, a basic outdoor pool, and a decent gym add value. Breakfast draws frequent praise—especially the pancake machine—though a few found options limited or the coffee lukewarm. Cleanliness is usually strong but inconsistent at times, and service ranges from warm and helpful to occasional frustrations with responsiveness or billing. Expect a modern, budget‑minded stay with strong convenience.

Front desk staff was excellent, quick to remedy cold coffee and a shampoo bottle that didnt have the stopper removed. Only wish the pool was heated, it was 80 outside but the pool was too cold to enjoy a swim! Otherwise clean hotel, felt safe, loved how close it is to the cracker barrel and walmart. Would stay here again if I need to go back to the area.

The hotel was easily accessible on the side of the Hwy, but the trade-off for that is road noise at night. The room was very clean and up to date. The lobby was filled with things like a pool table, board games for the kids to play with. They had lots of fun at the outdoor pool. Location was very close to the outlet malls. For the price the hotel was great!

I like to read real reviews to help me make my decision of where to stay. This was a basic hotel. Clean and updated. We stayed as a family of five. It was very affordable, which was nice because we could get two rooms. We could not get them connecting which was a bummer. The pool area was nice and clean, very basic, without any shade. There is bathroom out there and it was nice and clean. They did have pool towels available. There is a pool table in the lobby that we enjoyed using. No microwave in room but there is one available in the lobby. The coffee and tea were not hot or fresh during the day. One small thing that I have noticed hotels doing that I just don’t like and this hotel was no different. Using microfiber bedsheets. I realize they are cheap and don’t wrinkle but the are awful to sleep on! This hotel was in a nice area and we felt very safe and did not worry about our vehicle. There is a lot of food and shopping close by as well.

I booked 2 King rooms. We were given a king and a double room. When I entered my king room I noticed an odd smell. Today while I was packing to leave I noticed a lot of blood that was splattered on the floor under the desk and tv. Not happy to find that after staying in the room all week. I also just found out that my business partner that was supposed to have a king room was given a double bed room. Will not be staying with this chain again. Picture are attached of the blood splatter.

Disappointed. Very unclean. 1st room: toilet didn’t work AT ALL. Got there late & had to leave for work by 6:30a the next day, so having to completely repack bags, move bags to a different room & unpack again due to non-working toilet sucked. No apology- they almost seemed inconvenienced to have to change my room. 2nd room: multiple hairs in shower & on counter, crumbs all in bed frame, terrible musty smoke smell in room, and STRONG marijuana & smoke smell all in hall, elevators, and right outside hotel door (where they let guests smoke directly in front of doors to lobby). Also is right in front of WalMart & right off highway, so not great location. Hall carpets are also horribly stained & gross. Just not good at all- shocked by these good reviews. I’ve recently stayed at 2 other hotels (Marriott & Drury) in area that knocked my stay out of the park & were SO clean. This was NOT.

The room was decent. The AC/Heating unit had mold on/in it so we didn't run it at all while we stayed. There was some mold/mildew in the bathroom and the shower door seal did not keep the water in. Other than that the beds were decent and the room was clean. The morning breakfast options I think was the best part of the hotel.

The property and surrounding area is clean, very convenient location. Room looked clean on the surface..but I question that..the bed covers were pulled up and tidy, but the sheet was nasty and had long hairs..so more than likely the sheet was not changed, before making the bed..it’s also close to a major highway, so, especially if you’re in a front room, the traffic is loud all night

I rarely review, but I felt compelled to after this stay. This was by far the best experience and stay I've had in a very long time! From check in to check out, it was a stellar experience. The room was exceptionally clean. The bed was so comfortable and the breakfast was actually good haha. The staff was nice, professional and pleasant. This was just all around a really great stay and I will definitely keep this as my go to when im in the area.

It seems brand new and is great for what it is, but it is not for me. Good: clean, wifi, breakfast, parking. Not so good: small room, front desk staff, no safe, no in room coffeemaker. It seems like it was all prefabricated to a standard plan, kind of like Ikea.

This is a nice hotel and the breakfast is great with lots of variety. The bed and pillows are comfortable. It was difficult to sleep however because the walls aren’t well insulated and you can hear everyone around you. The hotel is located just off the freeway so the street noise is also pretty loud.

We stayed two nights to move our son and his girlfriend from Michigan to Texas as they start their new life together with their first jobs out of college. And this hotel was absolutely awesome, super clean, quiet, excellent service and amenities. We will be repeat guests when we come to visit. Thank you for making a huge moment in our families life so much easier and enjoyable! I wanted to add that we had a double queen bed the first night and then the second night we moved to a single king bed room. We checked out of the first room super early to get them moved into their apartment and you guys let us check into the second room at checkout so we didn't have to reload all of our luggage back into our car and then bring it all back in for our second night, we really appreciated that, it made everything a lot easier. Again, we will be repeat, frequent guests because of the outstanding service we received!

I've stayed at other Tru Bu Hiltons in different states. I like to choose them for their modern rooms, breakfast, and customer service. But this location was different. The damp smell in the room came from a moldy, uncovered wall in the bathroom. Breakfast in the morning had very few and very basic options, and the service at checkout was poor. I think I'd choose another hotel if I returned to this area.

The Tru hotel has always been very good. But the shower heads and water pressure are terrible. All the staff were very friendly and helpful except the desk person on Sat night. He didn’t greet anyone, kept his head in the computer or phone. The hot water for tea was cold and he didn’t do anything to correct it help anyone.

We stayed at the Tru Hilton in Allen, Tx. We couldn't have enjoyed a hotel more. First off the customer service provided by Randall Cook at the front desk was beyond awesome. Extremely friendly, courteous and helpful. We had a glitch with our room not being ready so Randall quickly changed us to another room and gave us both a gift bag. The lobby and room reminded us of a boutique hotel. Decorated young and hip in this seniors mind. Absolutely loved it!! This chain will be our go to in all future travels. Priced just right as well.

Stayed here for a conference in the area. Had to modify my reservation to change the number of beds that were in my room and was charged a cancellation fee of almost $200 even though I still stayed at the property. I’ve contacted Dee Dee at the front desk and attempted to reach the manger several times and they do not call back or refund the mistaken charge. This is unacceptable. As for the hotel itself. It was clean and fairly new. A good location in Allen. We felt safe. The breakfast options were terrible, nothing healthy, and the walls are paper thin. So we slept horribly due the the volume of the action movie next door.

The room the room didn’t have any towels to take a shower and there was hair left from previous people. I know hair can be hard to pick up but the hair was in plain sight. The ac was so hard to manage it was freezing at 74 and you were sweating at 75 cold ac. No heat was used. The food was disappointing super rubbery pancakes, oatmeal was old taste. No interaction with staff in the morning. The workout room was okay for very basic workout. The bike monitor didn’t work .
