The Ruby Hotel

Positive: Beautiful decor, wonderful location on the creek, live music Saturday night that was the right vibe for the evening. Negative: Hmm, the bar is a little too expensive to draw a crowd or go just for drinks. We had one drink each then went to the main street to have another that was, honestly, just as tasty, but the tab was 1/3 less, so we decided not to go back after dinner.

Upon arrival we were meet with smiling and welcome faces. Check was easy and getting into the hotel room was easy with a key pad, so no need to remember a card. They sent the code to our phones. The room was bare bones, mini fridge with items to purchase and snacks on the table. A nespresso machine with the cups and creamer included. The room didn't have a couch which I was a bit sad about since we were here to just hang out with friends we hadn't seen in a good while. The bar is cute and quant. We ate lunch and dinner there. The turkey club was great and the salad was tasty was well, they used a vinaigrette on the salad. The vibe inside was cozy and they still had their Christmas decorations up which I loved. When we returned for happy hour it was a bit some crowded, so we sat outside. Th

**Charming Stay with Scenic Views at The Ruby Hotel** We recently stayed at The Ruby Hotel & Bar in Round Rock, TX, and it was a delightful experience overall. We booked a double room with a balcony, which provided plenty of space for two and a nice outdoor area to relax. The room itself was clean, comfortable, and stylishly decorated with a retro vibe that fits the hotel's boutique charm. The beds were plush, and the bathroom was spacious with high-quality amenities. Both Mayra and Kyle who work the front office were so kind and accommodating. One of the highlights was the location overlooking Brushy Creek – from our balcony, we enjoyed peaceful views of the water and even spotted some local wildlife like ducks and birds. The hotel grounds are beautifully maintained, and the pool area l

After a nice overnight stay at this unique hotel, the trouble started. We had paid via Priceline, and our payment included "Hotel Fees". On check-in, we left a credit card as required for "incidentals". About a week after the stay, we saw that we had been charged $34.56 from that card. The hotel says it was for the "hotel fee" and items we took from the in-room snack bar.| As we had already paid the "hotel fee' and did not take anything from the snack bar, I asked for a refund. She told me a manager would call me in a day or two.| A week later I had not heard back, so I called again. This time I spoke with a woman who said she was the manager. After I explained the problem, she said she would have to talk to her "inventory guy" and she would call me back in a day or two.| Two

We didn’t stay at The Ruby Hotel but used the bar as the backdrop for our rehearsal dinner before our wedding and we are SO GLAD we did. We highly recommend for private events! The manager and staff were delightful to work with, and the vibes in the bar and all the outdoor spaces are 🔥🔥🔥 We were grateful that we were allowed to bring in outside food and decor but glad we had The Ruby’s bartenders making drinks. The pricing was reasonable, we had the flexibility to start with a full bar and then transition to just beers and wines for the final hours, and we were able to choose signature cocktails as well. I can’t tell you how many people raved about The Ruby Slipper cocktail even months later…truly a memorable sip!
