Our family lives in the western part of Chicago, so the hotels on Michigan Ave. were too far for us. Ruby Room was a great find! Pluses: Lovely, spacious room, comfortable bed, nice sitting area, good bathroom, free wi-fi. Small kitchen available on the guest floor with free coffee (that you have to make yourself.) Great neighborhood with shops, restaurants... More

The hotel is nice and I likes the possibility to have a yoga session. This I had to pay extra for but it was always possible for me to take part. The room was nice with a good bed, but there where no staff around and that could be problematic. The location was nice with walking distance to restaurants etc.

I stayed in 3B - third floor walk up, right above a great yoga studio and adjacent to the shared kitchen. My room was lovely - well appointed and very clean, nice linens, steam shower in the small bathroom and really good reading lights. The neighborhood is wonderful - tons of independent shops and restaurants and perhaps the best bakery... More

I had another opportunity to stay at the Ruby Room, and I have to say I was very pleased with the accommodations the second time around. My first stay was the "perfect storm" of unfortunate events, however, I felt I should comment on how pleasant and relaxed I felt when I left after my second stay! I would recommend the... More

Our room was lovely - an extremely comfortable bed and a very nice shower. Wicker Park is such a fun neighborhood with so much more personality than downtown. We will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Chicago.

My husband, two grown sons and I rendezvoused here for a weekend break in early June. The narrow hallways and limited number of uniquely appointed rooms reminded us of a European hotel. Our two rooms were spacious, yet intimate. We loved the clever touches like the steam shower, spa-quality toiletries, communal steamer instead of an ironing board, and the "urban... More

I have stayed here 5 times for business and I love the charm and uniqueness of this small hotel.Great location to shops and restaurants. The rooms are simply and tastefully designed as well as the bathrooms with clean and classic marble all over. I appreciate the no TV, and the free hi-speed internet. The front desk staff is warm and... More

Despite having travelled extensively for both work and pleasure, a recent stay at Ruby Room has compelled me to write my very first review of a hotel room. On the third day of a 5 day booking, my wife noticed the bottoms of her slippers (you know, the ones real hotels provide gratis) had turned from white to black. As... More

Arrived at 10 pm to find no one available. After calling the number provided, we were told the key was in a mailbox. We went up 3 flights of fire escape type stairs in a light rain. It was impossible to bring anything but bare essentials. There were 2 iron chairs and a bag of garbage blocking the entrance to... More
