My partner and I stayed at Big Ruby's for a week during KW Pridefest. The rooms are a very nice size and very clean. Our bed was comfortable and the room was quiet. The location of Big Ruby's was very close to Duval and all the events. The staff at Big Ruby's is A+++ and the guys would be an... More

went in April 2013, bed linens were soiled-yuk, bathroom tile caked with dark grime, walls were dirty, shower drain cover not secure on drain hole and a safety hazard, nasty disgusting toilet bowl brush next to toilet, dirt and cobwebs behind the bed, naked men sitting around beautiful tropical pool area-weird vibe, free small breakfast to wait for was just...

My partner and I returned to Big Ruby's for a week during Key West Pride. We had stayed in Room 12 two years ago and decided to stay in the "owner's suite", Room 33, this year. The room itself was spacious and exceeded our expectations. The king size bed was extremely comfortable and we enjoyed our coffee every morning on... More

Rooms have everything you need, coffee maker, TV, Microwave etc. Free happy hour was great everyday. Property/Gardens are well kept. Not a bad word to say about this lovely... More

I was skeptical of Big Ruby's as I read that some of the gay guest houses in Key West were more like bath houses, but Big Ruby's surprised me. Not only was the property beautiful, but the staff and other guests were genuinely friendly. Some people complained about the noise of roosters, but that comes with the territory in Key... More

First let me state that I travel for a living - staying in all types of hotels, resorts, etc around the world. I reviewed the comments (negative) and have only to say that I did not see or experience same during my stay and have frankly found same conditions at Four Seasons, Ritz Carlton's, etc around the world. This is... More

I found Big Ruby's to be a great stay. Location: Well you just can't beat it! It's located off of Duvall St. around the corner from Walgreens. You can walk pretty much anywhere including the Southernmost Point, Mallory Square, Lighthouse, marina, the beach (a bit of a walk) and so on. The bars like 801 and Bourbon Street are also... More

This is a place to be if you want to pay a hotel for lack of sleep. The noise is terrible, no curtains in the room, the pool and bath tub need a good cleaning and scrub. The mold in the bathrooms is awful... I am just surprised to read all the good reviews, that is one of the reasons... More

If you are a sophisticated gay man and have come to expect the best out of your travel experiences, please steer clear of Bug Ruby's. I have traveled to Ruby's several times with friends over the years and have always overlooked the lack of maintenance and upkeep on the property. However, this last visit with my best friend was an... More
