Great location. The only down fall was that there was very little parking and the view to the creek is not the same in every room Other thank that the staff was very friendly and rooms were very clean.
There was great communication and the staff was really helpful. The room was modern and clean. If your looking for a comfortable bed this is it. I slept like a baby!

Wonderful to hear, Kristal. Cheers to a life well lived.
Great little boutique hotel. Room was super clean. Cool modern look and feel. Neat watching birds in the creek outside on our balcony. Perfect alternative to the chains.

We could not agree more, Mark. Cheers to a life well lived.
Unfortunately, it is nothing like advertised. The “creek view” room I paid extra for was actually a view of an old storage building. You could see the creek if you leaned waaaayyyy over the balcony and looked far to the left. No room service. Extremely limited breakfast menu. No elevator. Parking is far away from the 2 nd building where our room was located and not very well lit at all. The lamp didn’t work in our room. It was dusty and very stingy on the linens. Thankful, the night clerk carried our big suitcase up two flights of stairs. This is the only good thing I can say about this place. A HUGE disappointment.

We stayed here for Valentine’s Day. It was very secluded and romantic! The drinks at the bar on property are delicious, and they had games available to play. Really wonderful place for young couples.

What a delightful review, Jessi. Thank you for sharing & cheers to a life well lived.
I loved the view from our balcony getting to watch the egrets and ducks. The room had an aesthetic that was pleasing and original. I liked the bench with the table for extra seating. I liked the fluffy pillows. The mattress was not comfortable though and caused my husband a backache.

Horrible place!!
I arrived at 1230a, exhausted from a late day of travel. The front lobby was locked up and dark. I called the main number and it promoted me to “text this number for after hour check in”. I texted over and over for 45 minutes and nobody answered. I ended up getting a room nearby. When I woke up, there was still no reply and they haven’t replied still. What kind of horrible place is this?!?

This properties at an excellent location. The property design and facilities are nice. The properties a bit dated. The hot water failed so we’re unable to take hot showers. The facility was unresponsive and dealing with this issue, and they still have not responded to my request for conversations with management

Issue after issue
No elevator to bring luggage upstairs, dirty cup in room, patio door lock was broken, bugs were swarming the patio, shower didn't get hot enough to take a shower. Not a good experience and definitely didn't feel like a 4 star hotel. Will not be back.

Brandi, we are investigating your concerns as your room should be clean & in good working order. We ask that you please read the many other reviews to see that this is not usually our guests' experience.
We found this quaint little boutique hotel to be very romantic. It was too cold to enjoy the pool but the small on-site bar and grill made up for it with the midcentury modern decor and the live jazz music. A perfect weekend getaway spot for couples.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Ruby! It’s such a quiet hotel with beautiful views of the river. The trees were changing color and we had so many good bird sightings! It’s in a quiet spot but super walkable to the little square and super close to hopping back on 35. We would for sure stay here again!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Mandi, & cheers to a life well lived.
The Ruby was a refreshing change from your typical hotel options available in a smaller city. Its charming property, impeccably clean rooms, and friendly staff create an experience above and beyond what you'd ever receive in a chain hotel and for the exact same price. Should I have the occasion to visit Round Rock again, I wouldn't think twice about where to stay!
