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

    The stair climb to get in the room was very steep and narrow. A television would have been nice.

    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.

    Gigantic room that was absolutely comfortable.

    I was on the 4th floor and this is a walk up so this is an absolute no for someone with mobility challenges. Also, I was not able to check in early which annoyed me. I arrived to the hotel at 2pm but had to sit outside until 3pm to check in.

    The room was huge, the bed was a king sized bed, the bathroom was clean and it was located in what felt like a hip and up and coming neighborhood. I felt safe there and i had so much space in the room, it was wonderful.

    the buddha head decoration. its very disrespectful to buddhism as buddha heads have a long history against buddhism. a full buddha would be better for the zen aesthetic. the lights above the desk didnt work.

    very clean, the carpet looks new and is very soft, the beds are very comfortable, the dimmable lights are great, public transit is close, lots of restaurants and shops.

    The bed/mattress frame was broken; I had to sleep across the bed so that I didn't roll off.

    There was no parking anywhere near the hotel. The entrance is not clearly marked and the hotel is not manned, therefore you have to get in with a code that was not communicated until after my person got there and I had sent a message asking how to enter.

    The hotel was clean.

    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.
