Fantastic deal. Saved a ton of money staying here vs a chain hotel this close to the Capitol. That being said, it was noisy and the bed was squeaky but we would still stay here again. You can’t beat that price in that location.

Beautiful old grande dame of the railroad era

Wonderful old hotel. A little long in the tooth in a few areas, but sparkling clean, comfortable, and chock full of character. A perfect stay for someone who likes interesting and friendly over sterile and modern.

The Ruby Marie is my favorite place I have ever stayed. I arrived around 11PM and got to check in at the saloon, where the bartender was very welcoming. My room was so much better than I imagined, with tons of space and beautiful furniture and cozy bedding. The breakfast was delicious and was served in the cafe, and getting to have breakfast while the cafe was otherwise closed made it feel special. I would visit Madison again in part just to stay here. I was sorry to leave.

A gem of a hotel. Elegant and comfortable with an outgoing and friendly staff. Views of Lake Monona and proximity to downtown make this a great place to stay when traveling through Wisconsin.

We had a great stay!

We had an incredible one night stay at the Hotel Ruby Marie. The room was comfortable and very nice (room 26). Staff was friendly, especially in café for breakfast. We also checked out the attached bars and had amazing late night burgers ($5!!!!). You made our trip great, if we ever make it back to Madison-- this is where we will stay. Affordable, comfortable, clean, free parking, happy hour vouchers, yummy breakfast-- we couldn't have asked for more. Except for maybe how to turn down the baseboard heating-- we couldn't find a control. Even with the air conditioner running- it got up to 75 in the room. We were definitely cozy. (It wasn't a problem- just noting it) Thanks for a great stay!

This hotel was very cute and unique from your traditional hotel. Very nice employee, clean, and easy to navigate. Some neat perks such as drink vouchers, breakfast, free water bottles, free candy and earplugs(for the train which we did not even hear the night we were there past 10. Easy free parking. And real creamer in the fridge!!! That was a surprise bonus.

I really loved this hotel. Very beautiful. I went with my daughter but this would be a beautiful place to stay for couples. Very romatic feel. There was a bar and restaurant right there. I love the old feel to it.
