Tru by Hilton Santee

Guests appreciate the exceptional cleanliness and friendly staff. The breakfast offers a good selection of options, though opinions vary slightly.

With many years of I-95 road trips under our belts, we’ve learned how difficult it can be to find accommodations along the route that aren’t aging or poorly maintained. This Tru, which appears to be just a few years old, is a welcome addition. The property is located right off I-95, making it ideal for overnight stops; no exaggeration, we were back on the highway within a minute of exiting the parking lot. The hotel has a diverse mix of clientele, ranging from fellow road trippers to business travelers, golfers, and even a huge family reunion. The morning breakfast was well stocked with a variety of items (best selection I’ve seen from a Tru) and Cracker Barrel is a quick walk across the street if you’re looking for a convenient dinner option. Our room was impeccably clean - honestly one of the cleanest rooms I’ve seen in a long time - and had a ton of lighting, a rarity in hotels these days. The room was on the side of the building facing I-95 and we didn’t find the highway to be bothersome - some mild noise here and there, but easy to tune out. The bed linens and towels were very soft / fresh; the design was standard Tru fare. As a minor note, a couple of the outlets in the room didn’t work, though this didn’t really impact our stay. Overall, we had a favorable stay at this Tru and would keep it in mind for future road trips.

This Quality Inn is far from quality. I believe this is one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed in. The rooms smell like all of them were smoked in the sheets and pillows are stained and stale smelling. They should have paid us. Please don't stay here.
