Room and staff were fine, but they held half of my deposit with no receipt provided to the email I gave at the front desk explaining the charges, I did park onsite but was told it was free, not sure what I was billed for. Not a good business tactic, I won't be back because of this

The room wasn’t very clean, there was hair on the back of the door and the walls were dirty, though the bedding itself was clean. The location is decent and walkable to shopping and restaurants. Parking is charged per night, and availability was an issue. One evening when I returned, the gate was closed and there were no spaces left. It seems they issue more parking passes than there are spots. I had to call security, who opened the gate and had me squeeze my car into a motorcycle-only space. It was extremely tight, but better than nothing. On a positive note, the woman at the front desk was great. The area is loud, but earplugs are provided in the room, which helped. Overall, it was fine for a cheap stay, definitely has pros and cons, but largely what I expected given the rating.

Downtown location is convenient with access to Fox and Crosby Theaters within 2 minute walk, and several bars/restaurants near by. However motel has very limited parking, maybe room for a dozen smaller cars for 240 rooms, all others park in public lot or on the street. Onsite lounge/restaurant area was closed during our visit. Complimentary breakfast was a block away (in the rain in our case). Facility is an old roadside motel, rooms are old but freshly painted with refinished bathrooms and flat screen TVs. Overall not bad, but not what you'd expect looking at internet photos.

We love staying at The Ruby and it's sister hotel, The Steamplant. The location is convenient for going to events downtown, the included parking saves quite a bit on parking, and the included breakfast is a great value with delicious, healthy food.

It's a very convenient hotel if you are going to the Knitting Factory for a show. It's not quiet though, they even have earplugs in every room for you to use. It's not their fault though, downtown Spokane is loud at times. The free drinks are cool although I didn't get a chance to use them since we were headed to a bar anyway. The free breakfast is pretty limited, there's a few options that are free but the rest of the menu is 6 bucks off basically so keep that in mind. Parking lot is small and we had to use the overfill lot which was definitely not super convenient. Room was ok but definitely not clean, behind the chair there was some garbage that had been there for awhile. We've stayed several times and this is the first time it's been that dirty. Overall though a pleasant experience

Great location, clean room. One minor annoyance is that while the hotel claims to have a free breakfast and a free drink at the neighboring bar, they don't tell you upfront that there is a mandatory $10/night "entertainment fee" that covers this breakfast and bar visit, whether or not you actually use either of those things.
