We loved this place! Upon our arrival we were given a tour and a history lesson of the place, he was even dressed in period clothing! More

Very nice little boutique hotel close to the Capitol square. It's not super high-end (no 4 seasons), but nicely done, clean, and well maintained. Our room was quiet. The free drinks/breakfast were a nice touch. Great location, we walked to dinner each night, and it's right across the street from bike rental and bike/walking paths on the lake. More

We stayed in very spacious room with huge Jacuzzi/king bed and enormous windows. We didn't notice any local downtown/train noise and really enjoyed the downstairs bar back deck that some others mentioned was noisy, perhaps helping our DEEP sleep. Nice continental to hot breakfast downstairs at the Lakeview. SOLID well-done 1800's renovation included dipping and stripping the original doors and... More

This is not a hotel for the business traveller. No staff at front desk most of time. My room had an odd odor that was pretty strong, as did the hallways. Ventilation/cooling/heating equipment in the room was of poor quality, as was the ancient TV. Free breakfast -- but only after 7:00 a.m., and none on Saturdays or Sundays. Staff... More

THis hotel is interesting and has charm but it has poor ventilation and a tendency to be noisey. My room smelled like the kitchen and given that outside was a main road with a lot of traffic i had to decide which was preferable, noise.pollution or air pollution. Madison has few downtown options for accomodation. Ruby marie is not the... More

Only about 15 rooms which was nice, guests get a huge free breakfast on the weekends next door which was delicious and a smaller breakfast downstairs during the week. Also, each of us received a ticket for one free cocktail at the... More

This hotel is a great value. It's clean. The rooms are very pleasant and plenty big enough. The staff are very friendly. Breakfast was great. If you like a place with character (I do not mean this in a bad way), is welcoming, great value and convenient location, this is it. More

We stayed only one night at the Ruby Marie with friends but it was really a delightful experience. The hotel is about 5 blocks from the Wisconsin Capitol building. This area is filled with good resturants and some interesting shops. The hotel is on the 2-4th floor of several buildings that house a bar--Up North--a German resturarnt and a bar/food... More

Here for a wedding, which this was a great location as could walk to the church. Read reviews about noise from courtyard and train. There wasn't any noise from courtyard and yes there was a train, yes the train did blow its horn around 4am. It was enough to wake you up, but went back to sleep. Pleasant room and... More
