The Spotlight on Tru By Hilton Gaylord MI

Stylish Comfort Just Minutes from Gaylord’s Music Scene

Modern and upbeat, Tru By Hilton Gaylord MI blends fresh design with comfort in the heart of northern Michigan. With bright communal spaces, a fun social vibe, and easy access to local venues and downtown Gaylord, this hotel is a smart pick for music lovers looking to stay close to the action.
The hotel features free WiFi, an indoor pool, and a 24/7 front desk to keep things easy and flexible, whether you're heading to a late-night show or recovering the next morning. Rooms come with flat-screen TVs, air conditioning, and workspaces, while the lobby offers a shared lounge and even a pool table for winding down after the encore.

Why Concert-goers love it

Music fans appreciate the hotel's easy access to local concert venues and the quiet, relaxed atmosphere for unwinding after the show. The late 12:00 PM check-out is a big plus after a night out, and there's plenty of free parking if you're road-tripping to a gig. With a 24-hour front desk and a modern lounge area, it's easy to come and go on your concert schedule.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a fun, budget-friendly stay
  • Solo travelers chasing that bucket-list performance
  • Couples making a music-filled weekend getaway
  • Fans needing a quiet space to recharge post-show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who don’t want to compromise on style

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no full restaurant on-site, you’ll find a snack bar for quick bites and plenty of walkable dining spots nearby in downtown Gaylord. The hotel’s free breakfast is perfect for late risers after a show, and the 24/7 lobby market means you won’t go hungry, even after midnight.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, you’re close to Gaylord’s local bars and lounges for a pre-show drink or post-concert nightcap. The communal game area in the lobby offers a fun, laid-back vibe to keep the party going a little longer—just at your own pace.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, modern feel of the hotel and praise the friendly staff and comfortable rooms. Many reviews highlight the hotel’s great value and its convenient location for both events and outdoor activities. The indoor pool is a hit with groups and couples looking to relax before heading out.

Areas for Improvement

Some travelers mention that the breakfast area can get busy during peak times, and a few guests would prefer more substantial hot food options. Also, while the location is central, you'll still need to drive to most music venues—though parking is rarely an issue.

The Bottom Line

Tru By Hilton Gaylord MI is a fun, affordable base for concert-goers who want modern comfort, flexibility, and a great night’s sleep after the show.

It was okay.

Liked: The location of the breakfast was fine. The selection of food was not that great. They were out of eggs, I'm told someone told the staff. The soap container in my room was empty.
Disliked: The breakfast. I normally stay at Holiday Inn Express because their breakfast has a large selection of food but the location in Gaylord was sold out.

Overall happy with our room,...

Liked: Good presentation- visually appealing
Disliked: Floor in the room when walking around was kind of dirty. Had to wipe my feet or wear shoes. Breakfast was ok. Some warm options but like the sausage was kind of dried out and the syrup was way too thick.

Not worth the price

Liked: The breakfast was good, and we enjoyed the pancake maker. Eggs and sausage were cold Our room was small but it did its job. No outside noise and nice staff.
Disliked: Overpriced stay for the size of the room. There was animal hair throughout the room including outside the door. Also, the pool was slimy and the chlorine smell was overpowering. If it was heated couldn't tell, it was very cold even after trying to attempt to swim. We got out after 10 minutes. Just could not enjoy it. One elevator wasn't working.
