I stayed here with my sister for a weekend. I highly recommend. Pluses: 1) Free breakfast, including cereal, English muffins, juice, coffee, hard-boiled eggs, and a wafflemaker! 2) Free wi-fi 3) Funky boutique design- very unique, art deco-ish, and fun. 4) Cool little bar downstairs with a fireplace and fun vibe. 5) Super comfy- like five-star-hotel comfy- mattresses 6) One...

We were attending a wedding at the Spokane Club, and this was really convenient and affordable. The beds are very comfortable, the bathroom nicely updated, and the staff very helpful. Restaurants and a great dueling piano bar are really close, so we didn't have to fight for parking.

Because of the great price, I booked my daughter at the Hotel Ruby when she was traveling through Spokane last year. She had such positive comments, that I booked a stop last week. She was right. It's a small funky hotel with safe parking, clean rooms, good internet, free breakfast, friendly staff, comfy bed, and great downtown location. And did... More

I have been staying at Hotel Ruby since it was a Rodeway hotel, It far exceeds what it used to be. Some things still need to be worked on as it is an older property, I recently stayed in room 214, and I have a few pet peeves when staying in a 5 star or a boutique hotel, one, I... More

Couldn't swallow the price of the beautiful Davenport as I was just passing through and needed convenience and a comfortable bed. Got them both and a lot more at the Hotel Ruby at about a third of the price of the Davenport. (Rumor has it the beds are the same as the Davenport.) Locationwise, it has all the benefits of... More

This is an older building in downtown Spokane about a block away from the Davenport Hotel. Kind of an old motel-style building with exterior walkways leading to exterior doors to each room. They have obviously spent a lot of money sprucing it up. Rooms are nicely done with new beds(very comfortable) , bedding, and bathroom fixtures along with new paint.... More

The front desk staff were very efficient and pleasant. I got a 2-for-1 coupon for their bar, which also has happy hour. The room itself was beautiful and comfortable and updated, with microwave, fridge/freezer, flat screen TV. The housekeeper wrote a note to me both days I was there, which I thought was a friendly touch. I felt safe here... More
