My husband and I stayed for one night because we were in town for a concert and the location worked really well. Because the reviews were so good, we took a chance on this hotel. We were very underwhelmed. It’s openly funky and different so we were prepared for that. We were also aware it was above a bar and went in eyes wide open. But our room was not as clean we’d hoped and the furniture was what I’d describe as “thrift store finds.” There were visible dirty spots on the furniture and carpeting. The lobby smelled pretty terrible - like years of food being fried downstairs - and the room had a musty smell. It wasn’t the worst place we’ve stayed but we won’t stay again. Pros: The location is great Parking included Breakfast included Drink tickets Cons: Meh cleanliness Weird smells Rickety furniture Noisy

Ruby Marie isca very unique property. Quirky would be the best way to describe the building. Our room was huge when compared to any modern hotel rooms. It was very clean with a very comfortable mattress. The biggest complaint would be the street noise as the property is right on a major intersection in Madison.
