Just embrace the fact that you're not here for a luxury experience, and the Hotel Ruby is great. Climb the uneven stairs outside (hold on to the rail if it's an icy evening) and, once inside, pretend you're in a "refurbished" old hotel in the middle of Manhattan. Ya gotta like red. A lot of red. I liked the fact... More

Stayed here for two nights with my family for a wedding, we had two of their QQ rooms (they only have 3) these rooms are good sized and are located on the end of the building so they overlook the main street/downtown area. The outside of the hotel is not so hot but the rooms are very nicely redone. The... More

I have stayed at this property for a number of years and the change has been awsome. The staff has always been great and helpful. Anytime I have had a problem they have gone out of their way to make it right. Good place to stay and relax. More

It is a MOTEL not a HOTEL, which i should stress , as you access your room from the outside. Rates were realy reasonable , and within walking distance to restaraunts, movie theatre , mall and downtown. We were... More

Extremely clean, linens on the bed were new, duvet, mattress and pillows were dreamy, bathroom was spotless. Room was small, but suited us just fine. Bathroom was a bit cramped. Train runs behind the hotel, but it runs behind all the very high end hotels on the same strip. Hotel cost us just over $60 for the night. Lounge is... More

I'd like to congratulate the owners/managers of this converted motel. It has a nice feel to it and I like seeing an older property re-developed in this manner. The rooms are small but adequate (think European sized rooms). The decor is excellent - beds are very good. Staff is helpful and cheerful. Location is central. Rates are great. However, let's...

Thank you for your review! We are glad you like our remodel, we have been working hard on it! Yes, our rooms are of modest size, but when you come back please check out our brand new hospitality suite! It is very large with designer lighting and decor. We look forward to serving you again very soon! All the best,... More

Stayed here over Christmas. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean and comfy. Located kitty-corner to the Davenport which was all dressed up inside for the holidays. Lots of choices for restaurants and bars within easy walking distance. We'll be staying here again. More

Hotel Ruby is located within walking distance to all of the top local dining and entertainment venues in Downtown Spokane which is what sold me right off the bat! The staff are so welcoming and inviting, willing to offer any help they can provide and guide you in the right direction to all the local spots. The room itself was... More

This was our first stay at Hotel Ruby and we very much enjoyed it. The location is perfect next to the Davenport, and to have free breakfast and free parking at that price is hard to find. The rooms were clean and amenities were nice. The best thing about Ruby is the staff though. They were all extremely helpful and... More

Great location, great beds, friendly staff. Had character, not like a cookie-cutter chain hotel. On the first Friday evening of every month there is an art-event in Spokane. This hotel participates by allowing an artist to display work there. The hotel also sets up a big bbq and hands out bratwursts in a bun. More
