Check in was a breeze. We had our small dog with us, so I stayed in the car while my husband…read morechecked in using my rewards number so that I would get credit for our stay, which I appreciated. We rolled in to Rock Hill hauling a giant horse trailer, so I didn't book ahead on-line, because I needed to find a hotel with a parking lot that could accommodate our unusual haul!
We received our welcome water and snack - I don't know whose idea that was at Hilton, but can I tell you that I love it? Hydration is key on roadtrips and I don't stop for anything unless absolutely necessary, so that bottle of water upon check in is a welcome reminder to hydrate! It's empty before I even get to the room.
Speaking of rooms - I LOVE Tru when I'm on business. The sleek, minimalist designs are just what I need.
The fact that the hotel is DOG FRIENDLY makes me SO happy. They allow dogs of all sizes and the rooms (at least ours) are absolutely dog friendly - no carpet! So, if Fido DOES have an accident, it's easily cleaned. That being said, there's no reason your pup should have an accident because there are plenty of dog potty stations complete with baggies and disposal.
There's a wide array of snacks and drinks available for purchase and the continental breakfast blew my mind. Gone are the days of stale muffins and mushy fruit! They had egg bites that rivaled Starbucks, Lavazza coffee, biscuits, sausage, toast, cereal, hot tea, and the most amazing little pancake machine that cranks out two pancakes in two minutes. It's so great!
One thing I must note is that even though the hotel is dog friendly - there is NO odor. I mean, NONE. This hotel didn't even have the general "hotel smell." It just smelled fresh and clean and it WAS. I spilled some water on the floor and when I wiped it up, the white towel was still just as white as when I put it down there. Clean, clean, clean! No hair in the showers or sinks, not a towel out of place. I hope management treats the cleaning crew like queens and kings, because this hotel is SPARKLING clean.
Lastly, I adore that they use Not Radio soaps, lotions, and shampoos. Truly, this hotel has thought of everything you could possibly need and they've made it convenient as well.
Cheers to everyone working at this hotel and thank you for making our experience so wonderful.
