It felt like step back in time. The history of the place was very interesting and you felt it in the building. The options for happy hour at one local place, and breakfast being included allowed us to experience multiple places with one stay. The room was very clean and also very large! It definitely had an old-time appeal and charm.

Perfect stay!

This was perfect. I definitely will consider staying here again, especially if I travel to buy a bike from the shop across the street. The bar next door was low-key for a Thursday evening, and it was super close. Had a Reuben from another bar in the complex that was phenomenal! Breakfast in the morning was great after my run along the lake. I was also able to work in the cafe until about noon, which was much appreciated.

Pros-the hotel is very interesting and I loved the antique feel to it. There are a couple of pubs and restaurants attached to the hotel, which is very convenient (food, drinks, and service were amazing). They even give you a couple of free drinks and free breakfast at the associated establishments with your stay. Cons-they have no cash at the front desk... keep in mind if you intend to leave a tip for your room attendant. The pub below the guest rooms can tend to get a bit busy and loud, which is fun if you are participating, but not good if you are trying to rest. I arrived at 8 PM, and so check in at the front desk was not available. I had to check in at the bar, which was slammed. The bartenders were super friendly and accommodating, but you still have to wait a bit longer to check into your hotel room and offload your baggage. The parking lot (off street parking) is also shared with the pubs and restaurants, so finding somewhere to park can be a chore if you arrive later in the day. Overall, a unique and pleasant experience, just a couple of things that I wasn't prepared for.

The Hotel Ruby Marie is literally next-door to the Essen Haus but the Essen Haus is closed and going to be torn down for a new development. It was very difficult finding another restaurant in the Wilson Street area. We ended up at a McDonald's! Yuck! On the other hand, the Ruby Marie is very cool and maintained beautifully plus the included breakfast was yummy! A great place to stay as long as you don't want to go out at night.
