Tru by Hilton Holland South is being built at 620 S. Point Hotel Drive, just off M-40, on Holland's southeast side. The project received site plan approval from the city's planning commission Dec. 9. Earlier plans called for a 115-room hotel at a different address. "The official address is 620 S. Point Hotel Drive," said Robb Carter, vice president of operations for Hospitality Specialists Inc. "In the early stages, 621 was what we thought the address would be, but when the city separated the land, it became officially 620." Final plans call for a 119-room hotel with a 2,800-square-foot social hub for working, dining and lounging. The space will include table games and a pool table. Amenities will include complimentary hot breakfast, free Wi-Fi, an indoor pool, a 24/7 fitness center and pet-friendly accommodations.
