This was my 4th stay at Ruby room. Clean spacious rooms with a nice bathroom. Great neighborhood. Note that there is no reception desk, and that all of the arrangements including check-in are done by text and email. However it’s very easy as you only need a code for the keypads on the doors and no physical keys. Communication was good and they are responsive to questions by text.

Great location, and the space was mostly nice. Offsite staff didn’t get back to me about a few questions. Room had some scuff marks and other little issues.

Great value!
Nice place, room was clean and well decorated, bed was cozy and the bathroom was spacious. There was no tv, but that was kind of nice. Only issue is that there are a lot of steep stairs to get to the 4th floor.

The remote concierge was communicative throughout our stay, and the room was clean and charming. The room smelled slightly like feet (maybe the carpet?) but otherwise was masked by deodorizers. All in all, felt like a good deal for us.

The room had a pleasant smell and atmosphere upon arrival. The water kept alternating from boiling hot to freezing cold multiple times during a shower. There was a strange stain on the carpet next to the bed that looked like old blood or wine. Door was drafty and there was a visible crack between the door and the frame.
