Pleasantly surprised. It’s not your typical outside entry motel. Much nicer inside than it appears. Breakfast is easy and they have mochas/lattes and a GF menu and options. Also bloody Mary’s and mimosas. Right next to the Fox theater, and felt safe walking back with the big crowd leaving the venue

We loved this hotel but on the app it looks like it was a lot more remodeled than it actually was. It’s a motel which we knew that is needing things for sure. The wonderful thing is that they provide a breakfast at Rosie‘s next-door. It’s not free, but it gives you a huge discount. About a block away from the knitting factory, too, which is wonderful.

I only stayed here one hour. After realizing that my adjoining room door did not have a lock. That the room smelled like urine. Very, very noisy. And the neighbors in the room next to me were smoking something not pot or cigarettes. Definitely something else. I also have someone attempt to get into my room while I was in there. I did voice my concerns to the front office staff. And honestly, I don’t feel like I should be charged for the first night. Very disappointed I will never recommend this hotel to anyone. And the bummer of the deal is that my grandfather built this hotel so I was looking forward to a kind of nostalgic stay and was very disappointed.

This property is in the art district, so when shows or music is happening, it’s in great demand. Convenient to other attractions and the freeway. Rooms are small, but efficient. It says hotel, but technically it’s a motel as the doors to the rooms are outside. Definitely well worth the cost. Would stay again

After beeing lulled to sleep with the shudders and screems of the aged pipes, we got to experience them again first thing int he morning, as soon as the first other guest flushed again. When we made our way to the breakfast restaurant, the flies where as plentiful as the packed in guests. Disgusting. As the rooms open to the outside, not an interior hallway, I would classify this as a MOTEL, not a HOTEL, but chalk one up for the marketing team, I had no idea it was a 270$ motel 6 ... until I checked in.

You know, the room was good, breakfast good, service was good. The parking is awful. The first night I squeezed in a spot so tight my door couldn’t close. The second night, I parked in the overflow parking area and had my back window broken out by a fentanyl addict who wanted to steal my shopping bags, grape bubblegum, and a sweater. This isn’t a safe part of town. My vehicle tested positive for that junk and now my ins

This is a good, no-frills place to stay, although it is super fun to arrive with the art in the parking garages and rooms. We had a hard time sleeping due to noise of neighbors, and people likely arriving home from shows, but I'm not sure that would bother everyone. Close to all the theaters.

The gentleman who checked us in was great. The parking situation was not, we just got lucky we got one when someone was leaving. But, three other cars behind us weren’t so lucky. The luggage cart - had a flat tire and it was very difficult to maneuver especially with the extreme tight space allowed in front of the elevator. Our room smelled like a port-a-potty. We opened the windows to let out the musk and sour smell. We turned on the air conditioner and it was barely holding a coolness, even at a low 60’s temp. The sink and area had a really strange metallic odor, even when we turned on the water to wash our hands - we let it run for a while to see if it would disappear. Eventually it did. But, we realized we had to let the water run a while each time. The carpet was filthy. Our socks picked up what probably should have been vacuumed up. We slept on blankets and pillows we brought ourselves. Weary of the bed cleanliness. The best part of the stay was the breakfast vouchers for Rosie’s Diner next door. Their food was delish. The mocha was super good!! And their service was really great. I would definitely go to Rosie’s again. Days later, my bank transactions show Ruby Hotel charged me for the room that I had already prepaid via expedia. I called and spoke with (I won’t put her name here.). But, she said her system has no documentation of charging my card. And that I should just go through my bank to dispute it! She was no help.
