Ruby River Hotel

Check-in staff were friendly and responsive; facilities were clean and well kept. We stayed in a first floor room with two queen beds and a patio facing the river; the room was ample for the two of us and our dog. We were there in July which provided a lovely view of the river. The beds and pillows were quite comfortable and provided great sleep. There's an onsite restaurant, Osprey, that we dined at twice; once for Saturday brunch and the other for late light dinner & a frozen cocktail. The service and food were great and the frozen cocktail was perfectly suited for the warm evening on the dining patio facing the river. We plan to stay again.

The beds were very comfortable and the shower was nice and roomy. There were lots of amenities. There is a family fun area that has it's own pool. I wish that families with younger kids would have taken their kids to that pool rather than the pool that has a bar and hot tub. That seemed like it was designed for adults and older kids but everyone used it so it wasn't as pleasant for the adults, which I noticed other reviewers mention. It wasn't a huge deal, as the setup was generally very nice.

Great location, clean modern room. Poolside was very nice great for families. Staff was friendly and responsive to needs. Pool and outdoor area very relaxing and well maintained. Staff works very hard to keep it clean. Very close to lots of attractions right on the river close to Gonzaga.

We have been to spokane a few times over the years and after staying at the Ruby River we will likely never stay anywhere else again. It ticked all of our boxes. The staff were very friendly. The room was a good size, we had a little patio (not private) that looked out over the rose garden and river, and it was fairly clean. Bed were pretty comfortable. Took us some time to figure out where the fridge and microwave were hidden but glad we had them as these are a must when traveling with kids. The amentities at this hotel were exactly what we needed. The pool was clean and fairly large plus it never really got that busy. The playground is tiny but my toddler was so thrilled as we have never stayed at a hotel with a park and she was so missing parks as we traveled. Breakfast was a limited selection but everyone in our group was able to find something they liked.The restaurant staff were AMAZING. It is a bit hard to get into this restaurant on the day of (no fault of theirs) but we were so happy we got in even if it was late in the evening. The staff were so good with my toddler, offered us some berries and cream to occupy her, interacted with her each time they passed our table, and never once made us feel bad about her behavior when she got a bit tired and crabby. The food was AMAZING. The menu is small but every single dish we ordered was a hit. We wanted a light meal so the smaller portion sizes were actually perfect for us. My mother who is very very particular and never impressed by food had the salmon puff pastry and is still talking about it! I have a gluten allergy so my options were limited but the tempura shrimp dish was incredible. If you stay at this hotel, please do yourself a favor and make reservations for this restaurant! You will not be disappointed! We 100% will be back. We are also still amazed at the price of this place considering how great it is!

The amenities were really great. Being on the river was fantastic. I loved the pool, the hot tub, the restaurant, and dog park and the fact that the front desk text me so I was able to easily text them to ask questions or send any requests!
