My husband and I decided to visit Mono Lake on Thanksgiving. When we arrived in Bridgeport it was after dark and we were worried that our large dog would make finding a room difficult. -- Thankfully, a simple google search lead us to Ruby Inn where the staff warmly welcomed us, made local recommendations, and allowed our dog to stay for free. Also, the rooms are extremely clean and well maintained! You can definitely tell this family run business takes pride in the details: Coffee maker and grinder, folding the wash cloths into swans, etc.

Special inn in special area. Second time staying here but this time with dog. The thoughtfulness and attention to detail of this establishment makes the stay all the better. Special location with dedicated dog area, coffee maker with grinder, family owned and run, wifi, and cleanliness all combine to make this a place to stop. Great job Ruby Inn.

Great place. We were very pleased. Everything was spotless, extra clean I'd say, and staff were very friendly. We slept well on the upstairs king bed. We'd come back

The room was quiet, very basic and comfortable. The bathroom was very outdated. The grout was cracked and moldy, the drain was very slow in shower and sink, the toilet ran. The bathroom could use a complete remodel. No breakfast served. It was fine for a night or two, but nothing spectacular.

It's not often I review motels, but I thought Ruby Inn was pretty exceptional.

- The bed was very comfortable
- Rooms were clean
- The towels were folded like Origami figures
- The AC was effective on a hot day

What more can you want from a roadside motel?

Wonderful comfy place. Wonderful, welcoming, and knowledgeable staff. Rooms are very quiet and clean. There's ice available ( just don't fill up your coolers is all they ask here) and vending machines. Great rates and honestly I don't think I have slept better in months. Very dog friendly at Ruby Inn and they even have a pretty good size grassy area for our furry friends to check out all the scents in free roam! I would highly recommend staying at this place if there's available lodging. 10/10

A nice clean motel with decent facilities in Bridge port. The place is run by a family and they were really good to talk to. They accommodated our request to provide extra comforter and blanket.
The breakfast place is well decorated for outdoor seating. Would definitely recommend to stay here if you are stopping in Bridgeport. The town itself is beautiful and peaceful.

Clean and friendly. The manager was wonderful to work with, she was anxious to help with any needs, from providing a can opener to extra pillows. Happy to serve her guests.

Very friendly and helpful staff! Comfy space and had all the required amenities. Rooms had the usual 'old smoke' smell, but you didn't notice it after the first few minutes. Overall, cute and quaint! I'd stay here again if I came back to the area.

This simple motel is clean, quiet, secure, and the room has all the amenities one needs including, table, chairs, fridge, morning coffee. We stayed on our way to AZ for one night and liked it and the locale that we stayed two nights on the way back. In the morning we walked to the hot springs (drove the previous time so we knew where they were) and in the afternoon took a drive to the nearby and spectacular twin lakes.

We were recently evacuated due to a fire in my town and we drove to Bridgeport and found the Ruby Inn....i was drawn to their sign and the quaintness if the Inn. The lobby was welcoming and Steve, the owner, was so friendly and courteous and promptly checked us in. The room was quiet, spotless and a great air conditioner! We were pretty exhausted and nervous about being evacuated and we felt safe and secure at the Ruby Inn.....i wanted to thank Steve and his wife for being so kind and welcoming. We really appreciated your kind gesture

Really nice manager/owner for a last minute reservation. Room was comfortable, there were some relaxing gazebos and a dog run area as well. Across the street from a great historic building turned coffee shop (1881 Shop).

Nice motel in Bridgeport. Freindly staff, great, King Bedroom was sizable, clean w new-ish bathroom. Try to get a room in the back, rooms up front have road noise. In cold weather, you'll need an extra blanket or warm PJs.

The Ruby Inn was such a gem after a long drive! The rooms are spacious and comfortable and the staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful :) The fenced pet area was the perfect spot for our little dog to run after being in the car all day.
We even woke up to a surprise early snowfall!
Will definitely be back!

Pet friendly! Hubby and the kids wanted to go to Bodie ghost town, so we decided to stay in Bridgeport.

If you are expecting fancy hotels like you'll find in the bigger cities, don't bother coming to this wonderful little town. The folks at the Ruby Inn were very friendly and accommodating. Our room was spotless. We were happy to see a small refrigerator, microwave, and coffee maker in the room. There is also an ironing board, iron, and blow dryer. Nice little basket of soaps and shampoo. We were a little leery because our room and was close to the street, but it was incredibly quiet
