Staff was great and location can’t be beat for the price. Unfortunately the hotel itself falls short. Room just seems old and could use some TLC. Toilet was leaking. Lampshade was torn. Towels were stained. We were in a premium double and it was very loud. Maybe carpeting would help? We heard constant noise from upstairs and next door. Also, while the front gate was locked, the back elevator was accessible to anyone. It seems like a security issue that should be addressed. I really appreciated the staff, who were very helpful in facilitating our early checkout. All the best.

Affordable motel not hotel

Ruby Hotel should be called Ruby Motel as all rooms open to the outdoor parking lot. It was very affordable, cute modern bathroom, plenty of hot water but low shower pressure, small rooms, great heating, my rating is a bit low due to an awful smell upon entering room, it wasn't stale cigarette smoke but maybe low grade disinfectant? No idea. The bed itself was very clean and comfortable.
