"I travel a lot for work and usually stay at the larger hotel chains because they’re familiar. This trip I decided to try the Ruby Hotel outside of Sandpoint, and I’m glad I did.
From the outside it doesn’t look like much, but the moment I walked into the lobby I felt welcome. The staff was incredibly friendly, check-in was easy, and the whole place had a cozy mountain-town feel.
My room was small, but in the best way possible. It felt comfortable, quiet, and relaxing after a long day on the road. The large window looking toward the mountains was a nice touch, and even my dog Kali settled in immediately.
What I liked most was that the Ruby Hotel isn’t trying to be a big resort or luxury property. It’s simply a clean, comfortable, welcoming place to stay.
If you’re looking for a place with character and a peaceful atmosphere near Sandpoint, I’d definitely recommend it. I’ll be staying here again."
"The area was very nice. The bed was hard but all in all the room and the area was very nice.
Although, additional recreation putting, putting golf is not included with the stay it is an additional cost."
"First stay with this property. Room was comfortable, although it was an "accessible", clearly offering different sizing. Bed was comfortable, TV good, A/C noisy -neighbors was equally loud. Window opens only about 4" so unable to take advantage of cool evening air. Breakfast buffet was quite nice, offering a variety of hot foods and cold assortments."
"The nicest hotel we have ever stayed at. Amazing front desk staff, bartender, and serving staff. The room we stayed in has a very modern, luxurious feel and is very spacious. The lobby and bar area is very inviting and a very comfortable atmosphere. The patios at the back and front of the building with their firetables was very relaxing and enjoyable!"
"Good location to walk to grocery or downtown area...decent breakfast items available...I've stayed there many times however it would be super if the pool and hot tub were filled and ready to use!"
