Love the hotel but the toilet wasn't working properly.
Nicely renovated old style motel. Rooms are out side with gated entry access to parking and stairs
Came up for a concert that ended up getting cancelled due to bad weather. Ended up staying an extra night because we liked this hotel so much. The bar staff at the sapphire lounge were the highlight of our trip! Seriously, those guys derserve a raise! Very clean and comfortable rooms. Not a lot of parking, but they had over flow parking not too far away. Overall great time!
Construction around hotel along with constant rain made for muddy adventures. Room was tiny. Recent remodel helped but I would have been happier at a hotel that had some amenities. ( lobby, work out room, common area of some kind)
This hotel was nothing special. The rooms were old and the location downtown was the only redeeming quality. I was not overly impressed with the room, parking, or "breakfast".
I liked my hotel room. Most of the details were nice. I had two problems. There is no chair in the room, so you have to watch the TV while laying in bed, which I do not find comfortable. Also the WiFi was terrible, which is a deal-breaker for me. So, if the WiFi and TV watching is unimportant to you, you will be fine at this hotel.
Online reservations were easy, convenient location for the Concert at the Knitting factory. Parking is limited, but bed was comfortable and a great happy hour at the hotel lounge.
Very good for the price, especially if you're not needing to spend a lot of time in the room. No, it's not the Davenport, but comes at 1/3 of the price. Rooms were very clean and accommodating. Great front end staff too!
My experience at the Ruby Hotel was great! It was located perfectly in downtown and affordable. The staff was beyond professional and generous. The only concern I would mention is that the wifi was not strong.
The hotel was close to the theater and downtown, so we were able to walk to the show and dinner. The room was clean and the staff was friendly. You can hear the trains from the nearby train tracks, but it was not loud enough to interfere with sleep.
Close to downtown shopping and dining. Nice bar inside as well.
We stopped here on a roadtrip throughout the Pacific Northwest and were pleasantly surprised after checking in and seeing how high quality of a room it as for the price. The room was clean, comfortable and included free parking as well as a complimentary continental breakfast. Good choice for Spokane!
This is a motel not a hotel and they do not have enough parking at this location, so we had to park 2 blocks away at their other location and walk (at night in the city) back to our location. Also their breakfast is very limited.
One thing this hotel doesn't say is that there is a Ruby one and a Ruby two. Our friends were at the other hotel which is about a block and a half away.
Had a good experience overall. The room looked nice and well maintained. Wish the staff was more clear on if there was a breakfast at the hotel. Not a lot of parking at Ruby one. Have to park at Ruby 2 and walk over.
the staff at the hotel and bar were very friendly and accomodating. Breakfast was great. We stayed again on our way home it was so enjoyable the first time.
We walked to the Spokane Arena from here. It was a nice walk, mostly through a park. The room was somewhat dated but it was very clean. I had read the reviews and took earplugs. I am glad I did. I probably would not have gotten much sleep without them. There were people hanging outside their rooms smoking and drinking but they were cool enough. We expected this because of the concert. Overall, it was a good experience.
Old motel that has been painted to look more modern. Good location, but musty rooms.
Very clean, housekeeping staff seem to do a very good job. GREAT BEDS,,,very comfy. good linens & bedding & very good pillows. Close to everything downtown. I was in Rm #101 no noise issues at all. Parking lot is a little tight, if it is full, you need some skills to get in and out. Parking lot is locked at night, so a little extra security for your vehicle. The buy one, get one free drink coupon for the Sapphire lounge is a nice touch. Nice Staff, nice place to stay!!!!
We really enjoyed staying at the Ruby. Starting at the beginning, the Ruby has jazz-themed decor which I actually kind of hated, but I liked that they had a theme that really tied the place together. When we arrived, there was nowhere to park, but we were directed to the overflow lot about a block away. Parking was only $5 which surprised me, I've been to cheaper hotels where the parking was up to $15/day! We were also given a buy one get one coupon for wine or beer at the lounge. When we went to the lounge at about 8:00, it was empty, and we had a fun time chatting with the bartenders. The ambience in the lounge is very cool--it's dark but not too dark, has really neat lighting (like a jellyfish-shaped light on the ceiling). The drink menu looked pretty good. When we returned to the hotel at around 10:30, the lounge was packed! Our hotel room was great--everything was clean and the bed was amazingly comfortable. Two drawbacks: the room smelled very strongly of air freshener when we walked in, and I would have liked it if our bathroom had had a larger bathtub, or if there were a hot tub at the hotel.

We appreciate your feedback, and we hope that the staff resolved that issue in a timely manner. We hope that you choose to return to us again someday soon.
