    The shower head was covered in mold, I think that's a disgrace for the price of $150 for one night, a disaster.

    We loved the room in its entirety.

    My room was small than I expected and the kitchen nook is shared. There are no cups in the room when you get there so you must get them from the shared kitchen. Additionally, no decaf coffee was provided.

    Ruby room is in an excellent location and sightly cheaper than other options around wicker park. The staff are prompt and excellent displaying a high level of attentiveness. The room is clean and functional, the shower takes a little bit to heat up, but is fine once up to temperature.

    This "hotel" doesn't have a 24h reception and operates next to a spa that with the same name, which is a separate business entity from the hotel, but offers some services to hotel guests, which makes it all very confusing. The unit I was given reeked of humidity and so the AC was blasting when I got in. I was very cold all night. The next morning, I couldn't find the reception so went over to the spa. I asked if I could leave my luggage and the lady working the spa was quite rude, saying the spa was a separate business from the hotel, but still offered to look after the hotel guests' luggage. I'm not sure how the information regarding the spa and the hotel being two separate business entities was relevant to my particular situation. I didn't feel welcomed at all as a guest, and there is some structural moist in the building. This was a very expensive night considering all this.

    Well located.

    There wasn't a TV but I brought a laptop, and mini projector and the Wi-Fi is good so it worked out.

    This place is so cool. It's nestled in a super nice part of town where it's safe to go out at night, the rooms were very clean and cozy. The AC worked amazingly good. I was there on a 100+ degrees day. They have a little garden/courtyard out back with a waterfall or fountain if I remember right. Wifi worked perfect, staff was nice. Plus they give you a door code to get in, so you don't have to hang on to a key or even go to a front desk check in. They also give the option to buy a late checkout @ 1pm which I did. It's like $35 but was worth it.

    The stairs were awful but an experience we will never forget. The worst part was that the air conditioning did not work & the room was unbearably HOT! There was a thermostat in the room but it clearly did not work. We were sweating just laying down & wanted to leave in the middle of the night because it was so uncomfortable.

    The location was AMAZING! The room itself was clean.

    *No parking *The dirty, winding, STEEP stairs to get to your room. * when I contacted John, the only staff member, he gave me a code to get in my room, which was totally different than what Booking.com gave me. So if I hadn’t needed to check on the arrival, I wouldn’t have been able to get in my room or the building. *no tv *bathroom door doesn’t shut

    The area and location was good. The bed was comfortable. I’m not sure if this is good or not. I asked for an early check-in. When I couldn’t open the message I called. John, who is the only staff there is, was great.
