We had a gymnastics meet at Kalahari but didn’t want to stay there so I found this hidden gem 5 minutes away and it was the cutest little getaway. Very clean, decorated so cute and the history behind the place was intriguing. My girls loved the cows coming to drink the water right outside the balcony and just the serenity of being outside. It was so close to everything, just the perfect location! We will be back!

When we first got there the gentleman at the front desk was curt and off putting via is tone of voice and his general body language. The room was a nice but it smelled musty and like paint as soon as we walked in. The bathroom had numerous issues; ceiling had a repair that was clearly not hidden and the shower leaked heavily and the sink was still dirty from the last guest pink toothpaste was still on the sink and floor when we arrived. The view was nice from at balcony area. The walls were extremely thin think of motel 6 thin. The bed was comfortable but lacked quality sheets and the fabric clearly was overused.

The Ruby Hotel in Round Rock is a hidden gem! I loved the peaceful creek view and even spotted cows across the way—it felt so serene. The room’s modern decor was stylish yet cozy, making it a perfect retreat. Can’t wait to come back!

We had to stay downstairs because my husband would not be able to claim stairs. Cement floor made the room very damp and cold.

A Mid-Century Modern Oasis with Creekside Serenity

The Ruby Hotel in Round Rock, Texas, was a perfect blend of style and relaxation. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by its mid-century modern design—clean lines, warm wood accents, and just the right amount of retro charm. The room was spacious and thoughtfully decorated, with a balcony that overlooked a serene creek. Sitting out there in the morning with a coffee or in the evening with a glass of wine was a highlight of our stay. The sound of the water made it incredibly peaceful. The on-site swimming pool was another standout feature. Although it was too cool to swim, it was impeccably clean, surrounded by chic lounge chairs, and had a laid-back vibe. The bar offered fantastic craft cocktails and a good selection of local beers. The staff were welcoming and attentive, making sure our experience was top-notch. Whether you're looking for a relaxing retreat or just a stylish getaway, this hotel delivers on every level. Can’t wait to return! 5/5 stars!
