We turned up without a reservation, and only stayed the one night. We had one of the apartments which was absolutely fantastic. The parking is limited, but there is a 10 dollar a day carpark 2 blocks away which is fine. The hotel is in an excellant location - you couldn't get a better location. Always dubious staying in gay... more

This was our first stay at Big Ruby's and we absolutely loved it. After staying in a few other guesthouses in Key West, we found Ruby's to be superior in almost every way. I will try not to simply mirror the comments of other reviewers, and will leave out some of the details they have outlined, and add a few... more

We booked Big Ruby's for 9 nights in the efficiency apartment, room 46. This room with tax was around $340/night, not particularly cheap. The room was very nice, full size refrigerator, microwave, living area, bed and en suite bath. The breakfast was made to order and the complimentary happy hour was a great way to meet the other guests. We... more

This is the 4th time my partner and I have stayed at Big Ruby's and continue to enjoy it! Service is excellent and the hosts are great guys. Location is great, just a half a block from Duval and a couple of down Duval from the gay bars. This was the first time that noise from Duval was an issue,... more

We stayed at Big Rubys in April 2008 and absolutely loved it! There were four in our party (my partner and I, and another couple), and at first felt a little nervous as our friends were two girls. We needn't have worried, this wasn't the kind of all-male complex that you get in the med - it was so much... more

My partner and I had a "family issue" so we could not travel far from Miami for his 50th birthday. So, we decided to go to Key West for the celebration. Once we made that decision, he decided that we would stay at Big Ruby's. I had never heard of the place, but I went along with it. In short,... more

Just spent 3 nights here and there is alot to love. Overall, it was a great resort, with much to offer. Although I have mixed feelings overall The Pros - Location - EXCELLENT! Right in the middle of Duval, but just far enough away so that you can't hear the noise. Walking distance to everything with no trouble at all.... more

Our second stay at Big Ruby's was just as great as last years. A very nice property on an excellent location. Just on the corner of Duval. Nicely decorated room (a little small for 2 persons and 4 suitcases), tasty breakfast, nice refreshing pool and the famous jacuzzi. We stayed here during the Tropical Heat weekend. Unfortunately we had to... more

There are a lot of good things to say about Big Ruby's. First it is a 30 second walk to Duval Street. The staff was very helpful with everything we needed and quik to clean the rooms in the morning ... and even picked up and folded the clothing we'd left on the floor tone morning. Breakfast was plentiful and... more
