Comfy Room & Good Breakfast!

We stayed for 3 nights at the Ruby Marie Hotel in Madison, WI to visit our daughter and grandson. Our stay was nothing short of excellent and we'll definitely reserve this hotel again next year. Our grandson enjoyed seeing what new candies were awaiting him each day. I have a physical disability so I needed a walk-in shower which they provided me (I wish it had a grab bar or somewhat of a textured floor as well.). After being disappointed with 4 other places, we FINALLY found our home away from home!! Thanks again!

Great find in Madison, WI

An unexpected delight! We were looking for a hotel close to the Bur Oak ( intimate concert venue) and the Ruby Marie was nearby with onsite parking. It was like visiting a small European hotel. Large comfortable rooms with vintage furniture with en-suite bathrooms, each one different. A light breakfast downstairs completed a delightful stay. If we visit again, we would definitely try and stay at the Ruby Marie!

We arrived late and grabbed our room key and parking pass from the bartender. The vestibule to the hotel elevator was full of dead/dying plants. The room smelled musty, it is a very old building and the odor was fitting. The bathtub dripped, the comforter was stained, we woke up in the hollow in the middle of the mattress. The free breakfast consisted of bacon (which we could smell in our room all morning), scrambled eggs, very weak coffee and toast. There was a beverage fridge with one flavor of yogurt, a carafe of juice and a 1/2 gallon of milk. The dining area was filthy. There were stained trash cans in the middle of the room, more dead/dying plants, a glass case of wolf heads (so appetizing) and a couple tables with food underneath and on the chairs. My husband thought he was booking a "boutique hotel". Glad we only needed to be there less than 12 hours. Should have known from the price. You get what you pay for. Also, the train tracks and signal are feet away from the hotel. Hard to sleep through the minutes long signal and flashing lights, not to mention trains rumbling by.

Wonderful old hotel. A little long in the tooth in a few areas, but sparkling clean, comfortable, and chock full of character. A perfect stay for someone who likes interesting and friendly over sterile and modern.

We had an incredible one night stay at the Hotel Ruby Marie. The room was comfortable and very nice (room 26). Staff was friendly, especially in café for breakfast. We also checked out the attached bars and had amazing late night burgers ($5!!!!). You made our trip great, if we ever make it back to Madison-- this is where we will stay. Affordable, comfortable, clean, free parking, happy hour vouchers, yummy breakfast-- we couldn't have asked for more.
Except for maybe how to turn down the baseboard heating-- we couldn't find a control. Even with the air conditioner running- it got up to 75 in the room. We were definitely cozy. (It wasn't a problem- just noting it)
Thanks for a great stay!
