Pros-the hotel is very interesting and I loved the antique feel to it. There are a couple of pubs and restaurants attached to the hotel, which is very convenient (food, drinks, and service were amazing). They even give you a couple of free drinks and free breakfast at the associated establishments with your stay. Cons-they have no cash at the front desk... keep in mind if you intend to leave a tip for your room attendant. The pub below the guest rooms can tend to get a bit busy and loud, which is fun if you are participating, but not good if you are trying to rest. I arrived at 8 PM, and so check in at the front desk was not available. I had to check in at the bar, which was slammed. The bartenders were super friendly and accommodating, but you still have to wait a bit longer to check into your hotel room and offload your baggage. The parking lot (off street parking) is also shared with the pubs and restaurants, so finding somewhere to park can be a chore if you arrive later in the day. Overall, a unique and pleasant experience, just a couple of things that I wasn't prepared for.

The Hotel Ruby Marie is literally next-door to the Essen Haus but the Essen Haus is closed and going to be torn down for a new development. It was very difficult finding another restaurant in the Wilson Street area. We ended up at a McDonald's! Yuck! On the other hand, the Ruby Marie is very cool and maintained beautifully plus the included breakfast was yummy! A great place to stay as long as you don't want to go out at night.

A Unique Experience

Overnight in this historic hotel was an experience. Renovated into 15 Victorian decorated rooms & antiques throughout was definitely different than the standard highway chain hotel. If you don’t want German food nearby, there are many bars and restaurants in walking distance, as well as the beautiful capital building. Earplugs are provided for the downtown passing train which was actually very quaint. Two drinks were included for the downstairs bar. Breakfast was good. Our only issue was how overly warm the room was we couldn’t control the heat with the thermostat

Charming

Very charming & fun holiday decor in the common areas. Refreshing to be in a non-chain establishment. Property is well taken maintained, within walking distance of many shops, restaurants and other attractions. Nice amenities with happy hour and breakfast.

What a wonderful experience, this hotel was absolutely gorgeous. The unique design of the room was breathtaking. The room comes with happy hour vouchers for the Up North Bar and free breakfast from the Come Back in and is conveniently right next door to Essen Haus. Will 100 percent return.
