Tru by Hilton Panama City Beach

Overall we enjoyed the stay.

The was is very clean and new The room is a bit small The area is very nice and very close to the lake You must have car as its far from the center

This Tru by Hilton location lived up to my expectations for the brand. Easy parking, quick and efficient check-in, and a clean room. The hotel is only about a year old, so the rooms and amenities are in good condition. One of the elevators does make some unsettling noises - like there is loose metal below the floor. The outdoor pool area is small but looks nice enough. It is surrounded by parking lot at the rear of the building. The pool is heated and open until 10:00 PM. Employees could be a bit friendlier. No one was rude, but I didn't feel like I received a welcome upon arrival and that trend was consistent in my interaction with the breakfast and front desk staff. The location is about half a mile inland from the beach and 15-20 minutes from Pier Park, depending upon traffic. Exiting the hotel is right turn only onto US-98 eastbound. You have to make a U-turn at the next light if you want to go westbound upon leaving the hotel.
