Tru By Hilton Midland

My stay here was decent. I knew going in to level set my expectations and, for the most part, this hotel was what I expected. The good: For what I needed, it was just fine. I didn't need a lot of fancier amenities - really just a bed for sleep and somewhere to shower - but I was a little surprised it didn't have an actual closet. No biggie, though and there's still an iron and ironing board. The location was pretty good and close to everything I needed to get to. The staff was good, although the front desk staff was a bit preoccupied when I checked in. Still, they were helpful when they were able to shift their focus. The room was clean and the bed was a typical hotel bed (including the pillows that don't offer much support). The lobby offers good seating, snacks for purchase, and a pool table. I didn't get to try the breakfast or checkout the pool and fitness area, though, so I can't comment on those. The bad: The walls are pretty thin and you'll hear other's conversations (along with other sounds/noises) from the hallways or adjacent rooms. You may also hear footsteps of the guests above you, unless the air conditioning kicks on. It's pretty loud, so light sleepers may want to keep these things in mind. The commode in the restroom is somewhat low to the ground, so taller folks will need to be prepared. Additionally, guys will need to be aware that water droplets will be on the floor regularly when standing. With that said, it was fairly loud when refilling after flushes, and took a while to refill. Conclusion: I'd stay here again, but perhaps not on a weekend. There's a bar across the street from the hotel and, while it doesn't have tons of noise coming from it, you may have the after party next door or in the hallways. Aside from that, it's a good place to stay if you don't want to spend a ton and be in a good location, relative to Midland, TX.
