紅寶石客房飯店 - 芝加哥

The room was clean and comfortable, the property had a fair amount of charm, and the location was convenient for me. But my room was situated between the stairwell and the common kitchen, so there was lots of internal noise, and an extra bonus was my windows also faced the street and there was a car alarm that went off every 30 minutes for about 4 hours. I also didn't realize when booking that the parking situation is street parking rather than a dedicated lot.

The check-in time info was not listed on my booking but everything else was excellent. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Very nice room. Although we were on the 4th floor, no elevator, so if your older and have some luggage you may have a hard time going up the narrow winding stairs. Absolutely no parking nearby. No TV in the room, which was just a minor thing. Fridge on floor 3 but kind of close.

If you have a problem with stairs, this is not the place for you. Rooms are on the 3rd and 4th floors with no elevator. The rooms are exceptionally comfortable. There is no TV which was rather enjoyable for us. No noise! There is a really good French breakfast place across the street..Tous de Jours. Opens at 7 with fresh croissants and health pastries. Overall a very nice place to stay.

Funky, unique place to stay for the right type of person. If you are looking for hotel like experience, go to a hotel. If you need an elevator, don't book a room in a 100+ year old building. Ruby Room Inn is exactly what it purports to be a relaxing, interesting adjunct to a hippie holistic spa.

The air conditioning didn't work. It's summer in Chicago. There was coffee in the kitchen but no coffee filters. Thanks for nothing.

The virtual concierge system is a bit weird but the room is very comfy and I appreciated there was no TV.

Great location and very comfortable room. Room was very clean and neat. Late night check-in was as discussed and easy to do. Lots of steps to the room. Close to everything.

Great location, close to trains and 24hr public transit. Absolutely lovely room, VERY comfortable bed. SO SO SO comfortable. Great shower. And gorgeous natural light in the rooms. Check in is a little odd, and it's confusing trying to call the property because you get sent to a call center somewhere. But the staff who checked us in were very friendly and staff throughout the hotel were as well. Only downside was the shared kitchen needed some attention. We were there for a weekend and the trash was overflowing the whole time, they were out of paper towels, and it was a little messy. Hard to find where things were, and unclear where to find or put things like dishes, utensils etc. The shared kitchen is one of the perks, but we certainly would have used it more effectively if it had been in better shape. Still though, it was helpful to have a fridge and microwave, and if they were not out of coffee that would be useful too. (Although Alliance is across the street and one of THE best coffee and pastry places in town.) Definitely a great option for those who want a more "home-like" space, but don't like to support other "vacation rental" sites that shall not be named who tend to run out locals and lead to "touristification" and renovated ghost towns. This is the best of both worlds. I would definitely stay again.
