Nice but be prepared
Great location and cool old building. easy parking in front(or back) of the hotel. Nice bar and restaurant nearby(free drink at the bar and free breakfast at the restaurant). Just be prepared for LOTS of traffic noise. They provide earplugs in the room. That should give you an indication that it is bad, but we were there on a Saturday nite.

I moved to madison in 1992 and lived there for 9 years. I always wanted to stay at the Hotel Ruby Marie. It just never happened. Finally it worked out during my latest visit. My sister and I wanted to experience the Essen Haus at least one more time. I hope to be able to stay again sometime. It was beautiful!

Interesting place to stay. Obviously a property that is focused on its place in history. If you like a property with a few challenges based on its historic significance, this place is great. If you’re looking for the chain hotel experience, pick someplace else.

A nice, quirky old hotel. Beautiful bathroom with a deep, jetted tub. Con’s are that it’s a little loud with the pub next door and internet is spotty.

This hotel is charming and comfortable! It was a perfect weekend stay with great accommodations. The hotel is joined with a breakfast cafe and a night pub, so there’s always something to do! The gas fireplace in the room really elevated the comfort! The staff is very friendly and helpful. The building has been well kept and holds a lot of history and was fun to explore! Downtown Madison was only a 12 minute walk.

Great Location!
Cute place, friendly staff, and close to what we needed! My boyfriend and I stayed here the night of a concert at The Sylvee so it was nice to be within walking distance. Breakfast was delicious (fresh and not your normal hotel chain breakfast!). Was quiet and comfortable. Would definitely stay here again!

Perfect location for walking into central capital area. Funky little bar and dining. If you want a soulful experience—ruby marie is for you. If you want sterile & predictable, go elsewhere. Otherwise, it was safe, comfortable, curious, and offered the right scale of experience.
