We were in town for a night to watch a Round Rock Express game and we stayed at this hidden gem!! It's tucked away in a quiet location off the beaten path and is situated next to a creek teeming with wildlife. If you can splurge for the creek view room I would recommend it. They offer mobile check-in which makes it super easy to just show up and go straight to your room. The property is well manicured with lots of areas to sit and relax. The rooms have a fun 60s retro vibe with all the modern conveniences. Speaking of retro, the building design reminds me of the old two-level roadside motels. As such, there isn't an elevator...only stairs. For anyone who has trouble with stairs or heavily packs their luggage, keep that in mind and request a first level room. Lastly, there are many great restaurants nearby, including the famous Round Rock Donuts which is less than a mile away.

Tucked away in a residential neighborhood the Ruby is stylish and a great place to stay if you want a different experience besides the big box hotels. The bar was great and the staff was top notch. Highly recommend.

Cozy Stay
Kyle helped carry our bags to the second floor since the property doesn’t have an elevator. We enjoyed the sunset from our balcony. This hotel is in downtown Round Rock but feels like you are in the woods next to a river.

Upscale Route 66 Mid century vibe!
I loved this unique boutique hotel with an upscale Route 66 mid century modern vibe. We splurged on the date night package and it was worth every penny. Friday night we were treated to a human jukebox in the bar who was very friendly and stopped by the table to visit. We had a great experience and will be back!

Lovely, unique, quaint and quiet little hotel!
We had an excellent stay at the Ruby! My best friend from college met me there for the weekend, and it couldn’t have been a better place to do a girls weekend. It’s a precious little hotel and property, the staff is excellent, The rooms are really cute and the beds are comfy!! The pool is also really nice (although small and somewhat limited seating), but this didn’t cause us a problem. Our balcony overlooking brushy Creek was, amazing and such a nice little place to sit and visit and enjoy the natural scenery for a change. It also has a beautiful little bar, where I had a yummy jalapeño infused margarita, one of the spicier ones I’ve had. They also serve some nice meals, although we did not eat there during our stay. The hotel is easily within walking distance to the town square, about six or seven blocks, where we got some delicious donuts at Round Rock Donuts, and found a nice little coffee shop, hit a few boutiques, and then an Italian restaurant for lunch. It couldn’t have been a nicer weekend!

Lovely setting, good bartenders
This is a cute, slightly offbeat hotel - very lovely setting amidst beautiful trees and abutting Brushy Creek. Room was clean and comfortable, but a few things worth mentioning - the Nespresso machine didn't work in the room, there really is no desk space appropriate to work on, the room thermostat has a super bright green laser light which is very annoying at night, the bathroom while nicely appointed has inadequate lighting with which to easily shave, and I felt "hounded" or "scolded" by all the "rules" - i.e. no outside beverages in the pool area or property "per TABC rules", "quiet hours", no smoking except in designated area (which was not marked), etc. - none of these are a big deal but a little subtlety would have gone a long way. The bartenders at The Ruby Bar are excellent, all the staff very friendly, the snacks ordered while in the bar were tasty, and we had a surprisingly temperate evening weather-wise one night which made for an exceptionally pleasant time by the pool. The bathroom was large and shower had plenty of hot water and good water pressure.
