This is a motel, not a hotel. Pictures are a bit misleading. Staff is incredibly kind and welcoming. Trains going by is a bit much for noise. I appreciated a fridge in the room as well as clean sheets.

Lipstick on a Pig

Ruby Hospitality Group is good at marketing. Maybe the listing is not fraudulent, it is definitely misleading. This is an old motel on the train tracks a block or so from the old steam plant. Rooms have vinyl plank flooring and newer paint but are small and our room smelled bad. Free breakfast was also misleading. It was a voucher for their restaurant a block away, but only good for 1 guest (we booked for 3) with a $6 value. The listing said the room sleeps 3 people but their was no other furniture, so 3 people would need to fit in a queen bed or on the floor. It was walking distance to the river front.

The trains (3 tracks) go by the hotel all day and night. The trains were essentially above and adjacent to our room.

This is an old motel, not a hotel. It is a block away from the steam plant, not a hotel in the steam plant.

No couch, so room sleeps 3 including the floor.

This is an old motel that has been remodeled into a hipster spot! The only drawback is it's close to the train track - thankfully not a crossing so no train horns, but you do hear trains roll by in the night if you are sensitive to noise.

Service at check in & out was great. Free breakfast is misrepresented when booking. It is for 1 person only per room and you only get to choose from a couple different items or save $6.

I can’t believe that there aren’t more reviews commenting on how incredibly loud this hotel is! There is the train that goes by all throughout the night and the large population of very loud homeless people hanging around the building. The room itself was not clean…vomit or some other bodily fluid dripping down the wall in the bathroom next to the toilet, hair left in the shower, not to mention the smell…the room had obviously been smoked in and just smelled dirty. I booked on Expedia and selected the pay at property option but I was charged for the room the day before my arrival. When I checked out I got two waters in the lobby and asked the lady at the counter to charge my card on file. I was immediately charged $7 for the 2 $2.50 waters and then two days later was charged $5.46. $7 here and $7 there adds up, not to mention it’s stealing…I didn’t choose to tip her for handing her my key cards and checking out. Today is day 4 after checkout and I still haven’t gotten my security deposit of $75 back. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel.
