Overall it was a very pleasant stay.
Pros:

Checking in and out was easy. Fresh water, with lemon in the lobby for rehydration after our long drive. The room was quiet and comfortable. Pool and workout area were nice. The room was comfortable.

Cons:

We had trouble with our door, the lock didn't work right. Breakfast was crowded, there was a selection of food pretty standard for hotel breakfast. No restaurants near by.

When in Sandpoint choose the Ruby!
Pros:

I loved the minimalist room and thoughtful clean, design/layout of furnishings reminiscent of Euro design. The room was exceptionally clean, quiet, bed comfortable, shower fantastic and provided all amenities. Breakfast was well done, fresh fruit bowls on the tables, counters clean and tidy, better variety of foods, delicious coffee, and comfortable eating areas. The common living area was a bonus, very comfortable and inviting.

Cons:

I liked everything about this hotel and would book again.

Surprise luxury
Pros:

We had to hastily evacuate from wildfires along with about 60,000 others.. As soon as I could I looked for a place to stay. Ruby Hotel was available so I called and explained my situation. They were very cordial and explained what was available, they also gave us a discount! As the stay lengthened, they assisted me by keeping the rooms available. Always helpful and patient while remaining professional. They kept the room spotless and the free breakfast was very good. Great care, great quality, reasonable price in gorgeous surroundings.
