My stay at the Ruby Stone Boutique Hotel was quite average, with some notable disappointments. The room was spacious and the bed was comfortable, but I had issues with the dining experience and the lack of hangers. While the hotel has potential, it just didn’t deliver the value I was hoping for.

I booked the Ruby Stone Boutique Hotel looking for a restaurant and bar to avoid driving around at night, but I was disappointed when I arrived. The restaurant was empty and I was told I needed to pre-order my meal, which wasn't communicated during check-in. The bar was just an area where guests had to bring their own alcohol. On the upside, the bed was huge and comfortable, but overall, I don't think it offers good value for money.

I chose Ruby Stone Boutique Hotel for its advertised restaurant and bar, hoping for convenience during my stay. Unfortunately, I found the dining experience lacking as I had to pre-order my meal and there was no one available to assist. The bar situation was also confusing, requiring me to bring my own alcohol. On a positive note, the bed was large and comfortable, but overall, I felt the experience didn't offer good value for money.

I chose Ruby Stone Boutique Hotel for its advertised restaurant and bar, but my experience was quite mixed. While the bed was large and comfy, the lack of available dining options and the need to bring my own drinks to the bar was disappointing. The cleanliness of the shower left something to be desired, and overall, I don't feel it offers good value for money.

I chose Ruby Stone Boutique Hotel mainly for its advertised restaurant and bar, hoping to avoid driving at night. Unfortunately, I encountered some frustrations - when I arrived at the restaurant for dinner, it was empty, and I found out I had to pre-order my meal, which I wasn't informed about. The bar was also disappointing, as there was no staff or alcohol available. The positives were the spacious, comfy bed, but overall, I didn’t feel I got my money’s worth.
