I knew going into our stay that this was a refurbished motel. It's in the downtown area that can be a bit sketchy. I was surprised learn when I checked in that we had to pay extra charges for parking. There are a limited number of spots in the motel's lot. So you have to park a block away and schlep your bags to your room. There was also an additional $10 charge for your free breakfast. How's that work? To be fair we received 2 drinks (beer or wine) in the onsite bar. We also received 2 breakfasts at Rosie's next door. The food was good, hot and fresh. This isn't the worst stay I've ever had but I doubt we will pick this location again for our next Spokane visit.

The Hotel Ruby is a charming little motel trying hard to stand out — and mostly succeeds. The décor has a fun, artsy vibe, though the building shows its age. Our room wasn’t spotless (our feet were black after walking around barefoot), but it was comfortable, and the amenities, price, and location mean I’d stay here again. Parking is limited, but there’s an overflow lot less than a block away for $5/day, which is reasonable for downtown. The included breakfast at Rosie’s Café next door was tasty, and we appreciated the two free drinks (wine or beer) in the Sapphire Lounge off the lobby. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Our double-queen room was tight; swapping one queen for a double would help. The bathroom was nice, with a tall shower and quality shampoo, conditioner, and body gel. A mini fridge and microwave were convenient, too. The location is excellent — right across from the Knitting Factory (our reason for visiting) and within a short walk of downtown Spokane’s main spots. Having stayed at several Spokane hotels over the years, we’d happily choose Hotel Ruby again — just bring slippers!

The check-in staff was courteous and kind. The lounge had some good food. The gals who work in the lounge were absolutely great. Super funny and really easy to talk to. The hotel has a deal with the restaurant next door for breakfast. The breakfast is absolutely delicious and so is the coffee!The rest of the hotel wasn't great....The floor in our room had large stains across it. The bathroom hadn't been cleaned. There was someone else's hair and dirty wash rag in the shower. The ceiling right above the shower was covered in black mold. The toilet had to be flushed several time after each use. You could hear EVERYTHING going on outside your room and other people's rooms.

The motel (really not a hotel) was very dated in general. The bathroom had been updated but the toilet maintained the old school “small” size. Bed was mediocre and the room was small. The hotel is L shaped with all the room directly opening to the outside along a shared exterior path. The exterior hallways are carpeted but that is very dated a falling apart on the stairs. The location is in downtown but the neighborhood is not as nice as other parts.
