"3/5 Stars – Decent for a Quick Overnight, But Has Its Shortcomings
The Tru Hotel in Grantville, PA is a decent enough option if you just need a place to rest your head for a single night, but I wouldn’t recommend it for an extended stay.
The rooms are extremely small — there’s really nowhere to sit comfortably other than on the bed itself, which gets old fast. The bathroom was a bright spot; it was nicely designed and the shower was surprisingly roomy. However, the showerhead was already showing signs of wear and wasn’t spraying evenly, which was a bit disappointing for what feels like a newer-style hotel. Keeping a consistent room temperature was also a struggle throughout our stay.
Cleanliness is where things got a little concerning. The room appeared clean on the surface, but the floors left something to be desired. When I looked into it, I found out they don’t actually mop the floors — instead, they use a sticky roller to pick up debris. For non-carpeted vinyl plank flooring, that just doesn’t cut it.
The free breakfast was a mixed bag. The pancakes were genuinely good, and the coffee was a pleasant surprise — they serve Lavazza, which is honestly better than what you’d get at many coffee shops. That said, the eggs were watery and the sausage patties were overly salty, so don’t go in with high expectations.
Overall, the Tru Grantville is a passable option if you’re passing through and need one night of sleep."
