Great Stay

Review
Glad we stayed here
Positives:
The staff was friendly and helpful. Great breakfast and coffee selection. The pool and jacuzzi was an added bonus.
Review
Exceptional
Positives:
Beds were comfortable and the room was clean.
Negatives:
They didn’t provide a breakfast as stated on the website, they instead give you a $6 voucher to a fairly expensive restaurant next door. Also, the pool is 3 1/2 feet deep across, so not accommodating for younger children.

Review
Exceptional
Positives:
We have stayed at the Ruby often since it opened. The hotel needs an investment of money for repairs. The sink in our room is loose on the wall, the caulk is not holding and pulling away. The bed is firm but so high of the floor that this older handicapped woman found it difficult to get on it. I feel I should bring a step stool in the future. Moving breakfast to the restaurant was an excellent idea. The place needs to be spruced up but is still a good value place to stay. Love the enclosed dog area.

Good value needs some tlc
Positives:
Clean modern hotel with comfy beds and friendly staff. For the cheapest hotel we could find we were pleasantly surprised.
Review
Great find
Review
Good
Positives:
Cozy and comfortable. We really liked the pool and hot tub.
Negatives:
One morning there wasn’t much food for the continental breakfast, so we had to buy food to eat. I was told that they got cleaned out over presidents weekend because people were hoarding food.
I would also have liked to see someone cleaning the eating surfaces. I wish that I had brought my own Clorox wipes because I came down with influenza A on our last day.

It was a very pleasant...
Positives:
Clean, great location in Ponderay to access either shuttle or drive to Schweitzer Mountain Resort. Offers two hot tubs and small indoor pool, outside patio with gas fire pits, and storage for skis or bikes. Staff was top notch. Breakfast was basic, but served the need. Coffee, tea and other hot beverages available 24 hours in common area, which is spacious and offers seating, fireplace and some games for guests.
Negatives:
For access to Schweitzer, you do have to either drive up, or utilize the efficient shuttle system from the Red Barn, which is close to the hotel.
Review
Hotel Ruby is a modern,...
Positives:
Location. Pet friendly. Rate.
Negatives:
When we checked in, there was no water, due to a broken waterline. We were not told at the time of check-in. And had made plans for a “getaway” dinner that evening. We missed our dinner as we were unable to shower. The staff apologized, albeit a wee bit too late. The next morning, rather than receiving an apology from the “manager”, the blame was passed on to the previous front desk staff member. Furthermore we requested a one hour late checkout, and were told we could only have a 30 minute late check out without an additional fee. We felt this was inappropriate, given the fact that we had no water the first 1.5 hours of our stay - and were unable to keep our dinner reservation.

Nice location. Customer service could...
Positives:
The rooms are nice, the place is clean and in a good location if you are skiing Schweitzer.
Negatives:
I've stayed here one or two nights during ski season for a few years, and it seems like they are tightening their budget to the point where it's affecting the quality of the stay. Two examples: the jets didn't work on either hot tub (and the "out of order" sign looked like it had been there a while) and the continental breakfast has shrunk to the point it just isn't worth it.
Review
Good
Positives:
Updated older hotel. Nice common space with pool table.
Negatives:
Very thin walls and floors so noisy.
