We stayed at the Tru in Brooklyn for a weekend in early June. There are very few hotels in walking distance of Park Slope and this is perhaps the least expensive. Overall, we were satisfied. The room is small, of course, but comfortable. The big perk at the Tru is the guest lounge, which gives you a good place to hang out, especially as there is no room for socializing in the room. The lounge has varied seating, 2 TVs, and a pool table. The hotel offers limited parking, but none was available when we arrived mid-afternoon on a Saturday. The lot, however, is very tight, and probably wouldn't work for a larger vehicle. We had good luck with street parking, so it wasn't an issue. The weakness of the hotel was the free breakfast. It had the standard offerings, but ran out of most items midway through the breakfast hours. The food and supplies were not replenished, and the area was not kept clean as guests came and went. The coffee in the lounge was available 24/7, but also was not kept up, so later in the day it was cold and had been standing for hours. When we requested new coffee in the evening. only the regular coffee was replenished, not the decaf or hot water. That said, the staff was very friendly. We got the sense that they were just a bit understaffed and that the staff was not well trained. We will probably stay here again, but only because it meets our needs vis-a-vis location.
