The employee at the desk was exceptional. The air conditioner worked well and they did provide a fan, The property was old and dirty, the room had a musty old smell. Parking was horrible.

Our room was SPOTLESS and filled with the sweetest little amenities! My absolute FAVORITE was our balcony overlooking the water. The weather was PERFECT for getting all cozied up and enjoying the view! I also loved the robes and adorable little packaged snacks available for purchase! And PLEASE check out their shop when you check in! The CUTEST shirts and memorabilia! I seriously want to go back just to buy everything! 😆 We only stayed one night, so we didn’t get to explore much, but the surrounding town was absolutely CHARMING! So many cute shops within walking distance of the hotel! I can definitely see why the receptionist speaks so highly of this little gem of a place! We will 💯 be back, but next time, ONE night definitely won’t be enough! ❤️

Enjoyed the quiet grounds and pool the most! In-room lighting could be improved. Need a small cabinet/shelves in the bath to store unused towels so can spread out wet ones to dry on the available racks, so consider more towel bars?

We love staying at The Ruby! This is our fourth stay. The property is well maintained, relaxing and just a few blocks from downtown Roundrock. Whenever we go for our Dr appointments we stay here because there is no wall to wall carpeting in any of the rooms, only area rugs. We have allergies and carpet is a big NO for us. The rooms are very nice, clean and stocked with some goodies for your to enjoy during your stay. Surprisingly, the prices are decent compared to what other hotels charge. The staff is attentive to the needs of their guests and it is tucked away in a quiet neighborhood on the edge of Brushy Creek. I only wish they would figure out a way to install a lift of some type to get to the second floors. Even if you are not elderly or have a handicap, it is a little cumbersome to get your luggage up the steps and they don't always have ground floor rooms available. Other than that, this is a WONDERFUL place to stay!

Cleaning staff repeatedly came in to clean room despite me telling them not to and had room til 1pm yet 3 times people walked in .. I had tired children from a long haul flight and it disrupted them

I enjoyed the spacious well maintained grounds. The pool area was a nice shady place to hang out although a bit small for serious swimmers. Rooms nice and clean with a comfortable bed. Only complaint here was with low shower water pressure but this is probably due to drought restrictions on shower heads. Overall positive experience and would stay here again

Meh. I don’t understand how this property is a 4-star property. My biggest issue was the AC not working properly. The unit was set to 63 but I had to call the office for assistance because it was warm in the room. Staff arrived with a temperature reader in hand - it read 70 degrees. His recommendation was to use a fan, which they provided. This isn’t something that I have ever experienced at a 4-star hotel!

did not use the pool or the restaurant so amenities were not a big deal to me. We had a great stay.

Second time staying at this property and loved it. The TV doesn’t work so bring a Roku if you can! Bed is super comfy and everything was super clean and nice and HVAC WAS AMAZING. Wish there were more kid friendly options at the restaurant/bar but we made the best of it. 10/10 would recommend!

There is a very nice pool where I sat in the shallow end and read a book, and the hotel bar and restaurant had great food. I didn’t have to leave the property for anything. I’d definitely return.
- 2/5
The only thing I enjoyed about the room was the bed/pillows. Please work on the upkeep of the rooms. I had a 8lb Chihuahua and because of this I was subjected to stay on the bottom floor and couldn't see the creek. The neighbors upstairs stomped around all night and early in the morning! Please be very transparent about the "special" accommodations that are made for people with pets BEFORE the room is booked! What an absolute waste of money and time.

2. Peaceful. Nice garden. Overseeing a spring. Small pool. Each room has a small balcony. Very green environment. 3. Firm beds. Thick curtains. Quite AC. The right ingredients for a good night's sleep. 4. The bar has limited operating hours. But walking distance to downtown Round Rock and 2-3 very good breakfast places. 5. Small gym, but it works for a quick workout. The staff is pleasant. The entire check-in checkout process is online.

The Ruby was awesome! It was very unique and quiet! The only thing to note is that there are only stairs, so if you cannot do stairs, that would be a problem. They did carry our bags up for us though! Great, relaxing stay! :)

We spent two nights at the Ruby Hotel. The hotel is in a quiet neighborhood and close to downtown Roundrock. The rooms were nice and we had a nice river view with a balcony to sit on. The grounds of the hotel are well kept and they have nice patio off their restaurant/bar area. Very peaceful and they had live music the two nights we were there. Highly recommend.

The rooms are thoughtfully designed with a cozy, boutique feel, and the views of the creek are absolutely beautiful—especially in the morning with a cup of coffee or in the evening with a glass of wine as the sun goes down. It’s one of those places where you can truly slow down and unwind. Everything about the stay felt intentional and easy, from the serene setting to the overall vibe of the property. Whether you’re planning a quick one-night escape or a longer stay, this spot is a hidden gem. Already looking forward to my next visit!

Our stay at the Ruby was even better than we expected! Everything was so clean! Was so nice to have our room cleaned and towels refreshed after just one night. Having the bar and restaurant just steps from our room was so convenient! Juan, the bartender, was a favorite! We will stay again! Thank you!

It was a terrible experience and I checked out within an hour of checking in. I killed 2 bugs flying around my room, found mold and spider webs behind the curtains but I tried to give it the benefit of the doubt thinking maybe it was a fluke thing. Then when I went to shower, I found a tick type bug on the floor and was done. I tried to check out and while the hotel staff was nice, Expedia was ultimately no help in getting me a refund.

My rating is a three due to certain criteria that I didn’t feel were up to what I expected. However, other things were very good. The best parts were the lovely bar and restaurant. Also the view from the rooms that faced the creek. My room faced the garden and pool and I did not think the view was very special. We had asked for a room with a walk-in shower for my mother. Our request was made right away when we reserved our rooms which we did as soon as we found out that this was going to be the block of rooms reserved for a wedding. They assured us that we would have a room with a walk-in shower. When we got there, we had a room with a large bathtub that my mother was absolutely unable to get into. The staff working at that time were not very accommodating, but in the end did find an appropriate room. So our check-in process really did not go very well. I thought the rooms were very dark in color, but they were clean overall. I had hoped that the pool would be heated, but it was not, so I was disappointed that I couldn’t use the bathing suit that I have packed. The location is excellent being very close to downtown. It was really nice to walk to town to get coffee and even better for the wedding guests who went barhopping after the wedding!

The Restaurant/Bar was very cozy and we enjoyed our evening there. The shower is a complete liability! Flooring made from SLICK backsplash tiles with zero friction. My girlfriend slipped and hurt hip and sprained her foot. Also, there was only a quarter roll of toilet paper when we checked in. Minor issue. But very important.
