Cute hotel but the bed frame in 102 sticks out about 6 inches past the bed. Got out of bed, only to get a huge gash on my foot.

SIr, thank you for your feedback. Since our conversation we have fixed the bedframe in the room you stayed in, and we have checked all of the other rooms to make sure we don't have the same problem again. My offer to pay any doctor bills you might incur still stands, so please let us know if you have that... More

We stayed at the Ruby for one night in April 2012 and it was all we needed and more. Yes, the bathroom and tub were old, but everything else seemed revamped and it was very clean. I can tell it would be loud on the weekend, but you should kind of expect that in the middle of a downtown area.... More

Stayed here when we were going to a concert. (The Knitting Factory concert venue is right across the street. Very convenient!) This is a motel, not hotel. It is very cute and fun. They've painted the walls red and hung neat art. We had a fridge and microwave, which was nice. They seem to be in the process of remodeling... More

Booked several rooms for family for a long weekend and had many issues. One couple could not stay in their room because it smelled like mold. We got no sleep until we complained at 3:30 about the noise from the hockey team downstairs. The toilet leaked for 2 days-we had to put the trash can under it! Just because you... More

I brought my granddaughter to stay the night before going to the Lilac Festival tea at the Davenport. The staff was so nice, enjoyed Angel, she was so nice, & helped us get a late check out so that after the tea we could come back to our room & change out of our princess dresses...The rooms were clean, loved...

I booked the Hotel Ruby the day before I started a cross-country road trip. I rolled in late afternoon Monday, March 26th and went for my room. Everything seemed alright--decent location, modern furnishings, working Wi-Fi, nice TV. It wasn't until I went to lie down around 9pm that things went downhill. I turned down the covers and noticed a few... More

We take all feedback very seriously and I am looking into what happened on the day you checked-in. We have very high standards for our housekeepers. It is NEVER okay if there is hair left behind, and it is shocking to hear that a member of my staff said that!! We are sorry to hear that your experience was bad.... More

My wife and I stayed at the Ruby on a Thursday evening toward the end of March. Having read the previous reviews I expected a nice stay at a nice price. Right twice! I left my medication when we left on Friday morning. When we returned home the following Tuesday I had a call from the Ruby. After some miscommunication... More
