Relaxing by the pool
Deborah K.

We're staying at Hôtel Ruby Foo's at the moment. This is day 4 of our 9 day stay. This hotel could be SOOOOO much better than it is with just a little bit of effort. We waited for about 10 minutes to be served at check-in which is no big deal and doesn't affect my review in any way. When we were served and gave our name, the first thing the person at the counter said was "you wanted a kitchenette, right? Let me check if one is available". That seemed strange to me because if you've booked a certain room 3 months in advance, you'd think they'd make sure you get what you booked. Anyway, he called and there was one available. We were given our key cards and made our way to our room. The room we were given is the farthest possible from the lobby. Again, this makes no difference to my review. We found the elevator after walking through several hallways with very dirty, stained carpets. Several more hallways took us to our room. We had read in other reviews that there was stuff lying around in the hallways, but we always wait to see whether people are exaggerating or not. They were not. There were full garbage cans outside several rooms and piles used of sheets and towels also outside of several rooms. The carpets also weren't well-vacuumed, with popcorn and other detritus littering several areas. Our room is just ok. The bathroom floor had a few little pieces of things that should have been cleaned up and the carpet also looked like it needed vacuuming. The couch is extremely old and saggy with 3 buttons missing. When I moved the toaster, the counter was covered in crumbs. The stove could use a good cleaning, both inside and out. The coffee table had rings that were gone after I cleaned them. The kitchen floor had a couple of stains that needed cleaning and the mirror in the kitchen area was all cloudy which again was fixed when I cleaned it. The walls are all very grimy-looking and the paint is scratched/marked up. As I said, all of these things could be made better with a little effort. The whole room is very dated, but the bed is pretty comfy and the air conditioning works well. The bathroom, other than the floor was quite clean and the rest of the room is fine other than looking like it's from the 70s and needs updating. On Sunday morning, we put our garbage and recycling bins outside our room to be emptied (we were told housekeeping will not enter our room during our 9-day stay) and by Monday afternoon they were still sitting out there full. We had also run out of toilet paper, tissues and some toiletries. We went to the front desk to ask for refills. We were given a couple of toiletries and tissues but told they didn't have the rest, which seemed crazy to us. If you're not going to come into our rooms to restock things, then shouldn't you have a full stock of everything at the front desk? Anyway, I mentioned the garbage and recycling sitting there for more than 24 hours and was told that they didn't have any staff available to clean that up the day before but it would be done on Monday. Again, why such a shortage of staff? The pool could also be absolutely wonderful if only a little care was taken. First of all, you have to take an elevator to the basement to access the pool. Then you have to walk through a hallway that has things lying around like an old door and a broken vacuum cleaner and just looks 'junky'. Then you go up some stairs (which could also use a lot of work) and that's where you find the pool. Depending on which lifeguard is on duty, you either give your name and room number which she notes on a sheet or you just show your key and nothing is noted down. The pool has been quite dirty every single time we've gone. There is dirt on the bottom and the top has so many bugs and little pieces of plants/leaves floating around. This could easily be rectified with someone skimming the surface a few times a day. The first day when we tried to access the pool, there was a sign saying it wouldn't open until 2:30pm. We found out that was because the lifeguard didn't show up in the morning. Staff issues again! You would think that they would have at least one failsafe for this exact situation. A note on the location...it's a few minutes walk to the metro and quite a few restaurants, which is fantastic. We bought the weekly pass and an Opus card which cost us $35 per person and it's been great. We're having so much fun checking out all the neighbouring areas and having some great meals. All in all, as I said at the beginning this hotel could be so much more with just a little care. Obviously, the dated decor and well-used look of the room would take more than a little care, but all the other things could easily be rectified. Regardless, we're making the most of it and enjoying ourselves while we're here. It's just such a shame.

Dirty bathroom

The parking lot should be a clue. Badly maintained. Arrived to a gross bathroom. Urine on the toilet, door gross, shower with mildew. Went to iron my clothes for the day and the iron leaks all over soaking it. A huge wedding crew taking pictures everywhere. Did the hotel make enough money off that for this bad review? An apparent emergency that warranted shutting off the showers, that they then forgot to turn back on. All of this might not have been bad, but in an effort to get some help, we called three different listed numbers, no answer. From our cell phones because the house phone doesn't work. Spoke to the manager, in a calm way (just the facts, no attitude). We were assured that the bathroom would be cleaned and we would get a new iron. Came home in the evening to the same situation. Clearly, customer service is not on their list. Nor is cleanliness

Stayed here for 5 days. Since it's pandemic, there is no service room available ( I did not try to request) We just put our soiled towels and garbage outside our room and order new set of towels. They have microwave for rent $10/day. The hotel have services such SPA, restaurants, conference rooms, free WIFI. The pool is seasonal, located near the restaurant.

I've been here dozens of times for meetings and I can't complain about much compared to other places. The location might sound weird for tourists but I don't think it's aimed at them. It is centrally located with lots of cheap and not so cheap food options. There's shopping as well as... That's about it really aside from luxury car dealerships. Traffic and construction aside, once here it's very modern and clean and the service is super friendly. Chairs and tables are nice and the branded schwag is cool to have. I can't vouch for the rooms or the outdoor pool but I've been told from guests they are upscale which makes sense given the renovations they've done here.

Outdated kitchen area.

I made the mistake of letting a couple in front of me go first and of course something was wrong and they called over manager to help. That took forever. Meanwhile another check in person was helping someone else. There was a guy in front of me. Then a woman trying to be one of the Kardashians walks in front of the guy in front of me. Instead of calling the guy in front of me, he helps her and of course she didn't have a way to pay and that took sorting out. They finally got to me thirty minutes later. I go into room and hear the toilet running and of course it was broken. I went down and of course there was a fresh line of people checking in. I went off to the side and asked him to get the manager. She gets me a new room and a $17 dollar discount for one night of two. The new room was what they consider a suite. It was big but that was about it. The kitchenette area needed to be upgraded like 10 years ago. The whole hotel looked like it was great 20 plus years ago. I was traveling all day to get here and the Montreal traffic was crazy. I would have checked out but this looked like the kind of place that would charge you anyway. The Wi-Fi also drops a lot. It is also far from the city center. I would not stay here if I was coming back to Montreal. It's also 3 miles from the center of town and Uber's are ridiculously expensive.

I stayed at this hotel not to long ago... During our 8 day tour of the East Coast when, I first heard the name Ruby Fool's Hotel... For me it sounded like a Chinese restaurant when I first saw this hotel from the inside and outside this Ruby Fool's hotel it wasnt that bad of a hotel... There is just two things that... I have to say about this hotel #1 the hotel room where I stayed was okay and for #2 didnt like when Ruby Fool's only had one elevator to use that was the only thing that I didn't like... But overall in what, I really like most about Ruby Fool's hotel is the free Wi Fi that they have!!!

You get to sleep with bugs!! So fun!!!

See all

I came here for a few nights for business in the area. I arrived really early, as my flight landed…read morearound 10AM. Checking in was very easy and they even said they were expecting me, which was very refreshing after the last hotel I stayed in for business, which was the Hilton in Richmond, VA at Short Pump in which the staff was very condescending and poor at checking people in, especially business travelers. This place definitely took great care at check in to make sure I felt welcomed, including asking me if I had any questions. She went over everything I needed to know about the property. When I got to the room I was impressed with the size of it - it was pretty large, with lots of open space, a decent desk, plenty of seating, and a very nice, clean, and comfortable bed which was fitted with ironed sheets! The TV in the room was disproportionately small and their streaming channel options were limited, but I made the best of it, as it's mostly background noise while I'm working anyway. The location is decent, only a couple of blocks from the Rue Sainte-Catherine shopping and dining area, which also has the Complexe Desjardins (a mall). There's a Metro station a block away as well. They have a decent size gym with all the normal stuff and a pretty nice, two-level lounge for those with access via their loyalty level. Overall, I'm enjoying the stay here and would return!

I had a good overall stay at the Delta Hotel in Montreal. The location is great and really…read moreconvenient for getting around the city. One standout was the gym, which is much better than what you typically find in hotels, with multiple treadmills, a stair stepper, ellipticals, and a solid selection of weights. They also have a two lane indoor pool and an indoor hot tub, which were nice added amenities. I especially appreciated that my room had a patio, it was great being able to get some fresh air. The only downside was the noise. There were very loud neighbours in the hallway with screaming and music playing until around 11:30 pm. I contacted the front desk and was told security would be sent up, but no one came and the noise continued past midnight. Overall, a solid hotel with great amenities, but the lack of follow through on the noise issue was disappointing.

Being downtown it can get and will get noisy but again great basic value hotel. What you get, a basic clean room, I saw no bugs, a lock on the door and a continental breakfast consisting of toast, cereal, fruit and coffee and orange juice. Again it's all basic but you are buying location, location, location. Being downtown it can and will get noisy. There are homeless, you are downtown but this is a great value for staying downtown. I asked where St Catherine Street is and it's right outside the door. Chinatown is down the street, Old Town a little farther but walkable or take several metro options for about $11 for a 24hr pass. This place is not fancy but it's a clean basic hotel that is all about location, location, location. Would I stay here again, Absolutely!. Reminder : Stairs no elevator.

I booked through hotels.com a 1 night stay on 1/2/24. So horrific: 1. The pictures are clean. The reality is a s-hole dump. Beer bottles and trash lined the walkway to the door. The entire building smelled of smoke. 2. Front desk staff barely communicative. 3. Room was FAR smaller than advertised and was also dirty. The room to which I was assigned looked like NOTHING IN ANY OF THE PHOTOS. 4. Public shared restroom: i did not even go in since everything else smelled like piss, cigarettes and beer, I figured the bathrooms were also disgusting. 5. Parking is off site; no bell hop or other staff to carry bags up two flights of stairs (no lift). The only plus is that I got a few dollars of one key rewards for walking in and out of a horriffic, unsanitary, smoky boarding home- far far below any consideration of the name "hotel." It's not even hostel level. This is an unhealthy, and borderline dangerous place to stay. It is destined to close down, fail, and die. You may too if you stay there. DO NOT BOOK THIS HORRIBLE PLACE. I left within three minutes

This hotel is definitely interesting, but the service really missed the mark for us. The front desk…read moreexperience started things off on the wrong foot... the woman who checked us in was surprisingly rude and short with us. My friend and I walked away in silence and immediately looked at each other like, "Was that real?" It was just an oddly unpleasant interaction that set the tone. On the positive side, the rooms are big and clean. Every housekeeper we passed in the hall was incredibly warm and friendly. A couple things to note: 1) no valet, and 2) in our room, the shower feels like it's in the middle of the space and lacks basic privacy. Totally fine if you're with a best friend or partner, but I would've been mortified if I were sharing the room with anyone else. Not sure if it's just this layout or if all the rooms are like that. In the picture I posted, the shower is that glass panel on the left side of the picture with pink frosted glass.

I'm still a bit mixed on the Honeyrose. It's clearly a very nice hotel; the rooms are really very…read morenice, the staff is friendly, and the amenities are solid. But I'm not sure I actually like the style. They lean super hard into their theme. Pink is everywhere, there's a strong signature scent pumped through the lobby, and the whole place feels like it was designed for a photo shoot more than a comfortable stay. It's nice, but just a bit too much across the board. It's definitely a sexy hotel, great for bringing a spouse or significant other. But you'll want to be at a stage in your relationship where you're comfortable using the bathroom with the other person in the room - because there's almost no privacy. Glass walls and open layouts look cool, but they don't leave much to the imagination. If you love bold, highly styled spaces and don't mind a little flash over function, this could be perfect. I'll pass on returning but I won't say it isn't beautiful.

The location is great - right in the heart of downtown, next to a Tim Horton's, a few blocks from a Pharmaprix, and with plenty of dining options within walking distance.

There were plenty of options including oatmeal, cereals, fresh bagels, assorted meats and cheeses, yogurt, hard-boiled eggs, a variety of fruit, juices, milk, coffee and tea. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, with a full kitchen and cozy dining area, VERY comfortable bed(s), a big bath tub, and good views. I slept very well every night and was never disrupted by hotel sounds. There is also a rooftop gym and while small, has enough equipment to get the job done. There is also a heated pool and a nice rooftop area right next to it. The service was also top notch, everyone on the LSP team was very welcoming and polite. I tried my best to communicate in French, but they were patient and made sure I got the information I needed. I've stayed at hotels double the price that were half as good as Le Square Phillips. Can't wait to stay here again!
