Porcelain mugs are on offer at breakfast and throughout the day at the coffee station. The bath in our room featured wasteless toiletries. Onsite, small sustainability efforts are apparent throughout the hotel. For skiers and snowboarders, Snowbasin Resort is only 30 minutes from the hotel.
We were in town to hit the area’s famous hiking trails, and multiple trailheads, including the 22nd and 29th Street Trailheads as well as the popular Coldwater Springs Canyon Trailhead, are just a few minutes’ drive away.
Historic 25th Street, lined with Ogden’s best restaurants, pubs, and nightlife, is a block away. Lindquist Field, home of the single-A Pioneer League’s Ogden Raptors, is right across the street. There’s no more convenient location in Ogden. Sliding into a hot tub after a long hike is one of life’s greatest pleasures, and I was glad I didn’t have to share the experience with a random family from Boston or Bridgeport. The indoor pool and hot tub are open year-round, and while the pool certainly isn’t Olympic-sized, it’s big enough to get morning laps or play with the kids in with the bonus of, at least while we were there, never having more than a handful of people using it at once. The ambiance resembled that of a hip, downtown big city gym catering to the office crowd, which in a way is its intended user base, though a relocated one. Modern pop played clearly but not annoyingly loud over the stereo. Only one exercise bike was available, but I never had to wait for it. There’s a free-weight area with dumbbells on one side, machine weights on the other, and treadmills along the windows.

Lined on two sides with expansive bay windows looking out to the city, there’s not a single dark corner in the room. As someone who regularly travels for work, I’ve spent plenty of time in dimly lit, cramped hotel gyms that would have been better purposed as a storage closet for the housekeeping staff (and likely once were). My favorite part about the Tru by Hilton/Home2Suites Ogden was its gym. An inspiring place to stay fit on the road This being Utah, no beer is sold on premises, but if you arrive prepared, the fire pit area outside makes for an excellent happy hour or nightcap spot. Couches and lounge seating are also available, and, of course, the aforementioned pool table. The desks also provide enough privacy that taking a call doesn’t leave you feeling like you’re distracting the entire room. Three dedicated work desks enclosed in a half-capsule and with padded bench seats make for a perfect place to pop open the laptop over morning coffee. The lounge area resembles a modern coworking space, as it’s designed both for productivity and social connection. Neither my laptop nor my phone were ever far from a zap of juice during our stay. My room on the hotel’s Tru side had chargers on both sides of both queen beds. Room to spread out and be productiveĬharging outlets are everywhere from the bench seats in the breakfast room to the pool table and dedicated work booths in the lobby’s lounge area. Listed prices are accurate as of the time of publication. We hope you love the Tru By Hilton Ogden! Just so you know, Matador may collect a small commission from the links on this page if you decide to book a stay. The result is a property that is, even if unintentionally, perfect for the modern remote worker. Ogden’s Tru/Home2 mashup is a chain hotel property that you actually want to spend time at, rather than crash out and leave first thing in the morning, stopping only long enough to fill up your coffee mug on the way out the door. I spent a few nights in the Tru by Hilton/Home2 Suites Ogden in early September and found the property to be efficient both in accommodation and location. In Ogden, Utah, Tru and Home2 come together for a co-branded approach that brings the hip business crowd of Home2 together with the millennial audience of Tru by Hilton. They target people who travel often as a part of a modern lifestyle and who want well-trimmed accommodations without having to shell out a month’s worth of expendable income for it. Hilton’s first new brand offerings in this millennium, Tru by Hilton (founded in 2016) and Home2 Suites (founded in 2009) represent an attempt at contemporary coolness by the established hotel operator.
