They are the only hotel that I've ever run into that insist on having a credit card. I have several debit cards, I have several hundred dollars in cash on me most of the time. They accepted my business debit card online. My reservation was confirmed. I showed up at the hotel, they insisted that they needed a credit card. I don't do credit. I have plenty of money to stay at a crappy little hotel in downtown Spokane for a night. For some reason even though they accepted my reservation online, I ended up having to search for a different hotel. I highly reccomend The Centennial. They had never heard

Absolutely loved our stay. Had to last minute book the presidential suite for my wedding because my rate had tripled at another hotel down the road since booking. Staff is very accommodating for us having a wedding party over frequently and was really helpful with the best areas to walk our dog. Only complaint is being right behind Incrediburger & Eggs you're craving a burger the entire duration of your stay.

We have stayed here before and enjoy its central location. It is convenient to our favorite restaurant, Wild Sage. The area, unfortunately, has seen a significant increase in vagrants that have necessitated the installation of a secured parking area. Our biggest gripe was that no one could get our TV to work, so we wound up missing the news as well as the game. Still, it's a first world problem!

I really want to give this hotel a good rating because I do like the people, the rooms are comfy and it's reasonably priced.
Some people may have no issue with this and I hope the management / owners read this. The first time we stayed there last May was great. Travis was wonderful - helped us out with some printing, was very friendly and professional.
This time we arrived and I opened the door to the small lobby and two nice smiling women greeted me. How did I know they were smiling? Because neither were wearing a mask. I stood at the door and answered that yes I had a reservation and waited

My recent experience at Hotel Ruby was worth more than 5 stars. Travis, the manager, was very considerate of my personal problems that came up. He made accommodations according to my needs and I can't say how pleased I am with the service that was provided. Next time I'm in Spokane, I will certainly be staying at Hotel Ruby.

My husband and I wanted a night away And on a whim decided to stay downtown. Every place we checked was either crazy expensive or sold out! So when we called Hotel Ruby they said we could have the hospitality Suite which was on ground level for a really decent price. The place was super cute with a chic boutique feel. Not everything was perfect of course, but we weren't paying $200/Nt or more either! It was perfect for what we needed. It had a kitchenette with a bar and bar stools- equipped with dishes and cups and glasses. A couch and a large TV mounted on the wall and a king size bed with

Sorry! This is so late!
About 2 weeks ago, my husband, dog and I drove from Chicago to Seattle. One can simply not drive westbound on 90 and expect to not end up in Spokane.
Turned to booking.com, as that site hasn't failed us yet, to make our reservations for a one night stay.
When I arrived to check in, the FD person could only see our reservation on the site, but it hadn't registered in their system. Unbeknownst to us, this was the last day of Hoopfest, so immediately, I figured we were screwed. Nope! After some magic, she was able to cancel our website rezzie and then rebook us

This place is cool....
I do have a complaint we stayed 2 nights $170 a little spendy for this place but to add 10$ on for parking you got to be joking, when the lady at the front desk said first come first serve with parking. So how can you charge when it was plum full when we arrived and had to park on the street??
Also far from enough parking spots for all the rooms they offer
Would truly like my $10 dollars back not about dollar amount about principal

Hotel Ruby was a beautiful and quaint place to stay while we were in Spokane for our niece's wedding. It was walking distance from shopping, dining and even the wedding venue. The service was great - kind, friendly and helpful. It's not a super fancy place to stay, but definitely comfortable and quaint. Their shuttle service to and from the airport was excellent as well. I would recommend Hotel Ruby for sure. Thanks Hotel Ruby.

Economical, clean and great jumping off point for the nite life in Spokane. Parking was a bit of a pain. You will pay for parking but at least you don't have to worry about meters running out etc. We parked and then UBERED or walked around. Coupon for 1 complementary beer or wine when you check in. Free breakfast was coffee, juice, boiled eggs, fruit, yogurt. Not my thing so we passed on breakfast.

One of the few good things about this hotel is the bar. I was feeling under the weather and was able to get a hot toddy to help me feel better before bed. The elevator is a death trap I utilized since I was feeling too ill for stairs.
My room was decorated with a veneer of filth that extended from the walls to the dirty baseboards. The toilet resembled a fixture from an elementary school bathroom and the 1990s clock radio and cheap bedside lamps need USB ports. The first night I was in bed, I thought the pillows smelled dirty. I dismissed the stink pillows since I knew I didn't feel well

Have stayed here a couple times while in town for business. Not a bad little place. I dig the color scheme and art and fixtures. It is in no way a ritzy hotel, but the price is good and the location is great.
I have had pleasant staff each time. The drink coupon added a star to the rating. The parking is tight, and the carpet feels a little sketch.. but the room is clean and the Wi-Fi is adequate. I have not tried the breakfast, so I can't vouch for that. And the elevators are not very big and I would expect anyone in a wheelchair would have some difficulty getting in and out.
We will

Well I'm staying at Hotel Ruby's right now writing this review. We were really excited to stay at Ruby"s the jazz theme seemed really cool. My wife and I decided this hotel because we could finally get a chance to enjoy a drink at a bar without our kids. So we finally put our boys down after a long day ice skating around 10:30pm.
We were so excited to have a drink together and little did we know the bar closes whenever the bartender wants to. I called the front desk and all I got was the bar just closed. So we were pretty bummed. I decided to walk down to the bar to maybe get a

We were thinking about it and this was one of the best boutique places we've stayed at for a long time.
Nice rooms, super central for Spokane, decent breakfast included and free bikes! The bikes along probably saved us $40 becasue we only wanted to go up and down the few urban paths that we could reach within 4 blocks of the hotel.
I cannot imagine trying a different place if we came back this way.

This may well be the worst hotel that I have ever spent the night. We arrived at Hotel Ruby late in the evening, around 11. There was sign up that the parking lot was full. WHAAAT?! How do you have a hotel with insufficient parking? No valet either. We went in to check in, what can we do about parking. Well....you can park at our other lot a few blocks away. Okay, so you want two women, traveling alone, to walk from a place they don't know, alone, at night, in downtown Spokane? Yes that was what they wanted. I explained that we didn't feel safe. Not their problem! Their go

I give Hotel Ruby a 3.5 They took a falling apart, dirtbag motel and gave it an extreme facelift. We stayed in a room with two double beds. The lobby is tiny, as is the lounge, but cute and modern decor makes up for the lack of space.
The room with double beds is tiny and the paint job is poor, but I'm sure it's definitely an upgrade from its original state. The furniture and fixture upgrades look quite nice and the artwork is great if it wasn't for being hung up by literally pounding nails right through the canvas into the drywall.
I woke up this morning with a very sore back
