After beeing lulled to sleep with the shudders and screems of the aged pipes, we got to experience them again first thing int he morning, as soon as the first other guest flushed again. When we made our way to the breakfast restaurant, the flies where as plentiful as the packed in guests. Disgusting. As the rooms open to the outside, not an interior hallway, I would classify this as a MOTEL, not a HOTEL, but chalk one up for the marketing team, I had no idea it was a 270$ motel 6 ... until I checked in.

You know, the room was good, breakfast good, service was good. The parking is awful. The first night I squeezed in a spot so tight my door couldn’t close. The second night, I parked in the overflow parking area and had my back window broken out by a fentanyl addict who wanted to steal my shopping bags, grape bubblegum, and a sweater. This isn’t a safe part of town. My vehicle tested positive for that junk and now my ins

good location

This is a good, no-frills place to stay, although it is super fun to arrive with the art in the parking garages and rooms. We had a hard time sleeping due to noise of neighbors, and people likely arriving home from shows, but I'm not sure that would bother everyone. Close to all the theaters.

The gentleman who checked us in was great. The parking situation was not, we just got lucky we got one when someone was leaving. But, three other cars behind us weren’t so lucky. The luggage cart - had a flat tire and it was very difficult to maneuver especially with the extreme tight space allowed in front of the elevator. Our room smelled like a port-a-potty. We opened the windows to let out the musk and sour smell. We turned on the air conditioner and it was barely holding a coolness, even at a low 60’s temp. The sink and area had a really strange metallic odor, even when we turned on the water to wash our hands - we let it run for a while to see if it would disappear. Eventually it did. But, we realized we had to let the water run a while each time. The carpet was filthy. Our socks picked up what probably should have been vacuumed up. We slept on blankets and pillows we brought ourselves. Weary of the bed cleanliness. The best part of the stay was the breakfast vouchers for Rosie’s Diner next door. Their food was delish. The mocha was super good!! And their service was really great. I would definitely go to Rosie’s again. Days later, my bank transactions show Ruby Hotel charged me for the room that I had already prepaid via expedia. I called and spoke with (I won’t put her name here.). But, she said her system has no documentation of charging my card. And that I should just go through my bank to dispute it! She was no help.

We didn't stay

I called the hotel in advance of reserving to ask about secure parking, as we were pulling a Uhaul trailer with valuables in it. I was assured there is a gated parking lot with a secirity guard on site. Upon arrival ans check in we go across to the parking area, both gates were wide open and no secirity guard in site. We waited for an hour and finally went in and turned in our keys and moved on - ended up at the Hilton Garden inn by the airport which was much much better. Turns out the secirity guard at The Ruby monitors 5 places in total overnight. So not a secure place to park, even with a good hitch and trailer lock.
