Howard Johnson Ponderay Idaho

We had to hastily evacuate from wildfires along with about 60,000 others.. As soon as I could I looked for a place to stay. Ruby Hotel was available so I called and explained my situation. They were very cordial and explained what was available, they also gave us a discount! As the stay lengthened, they assisted me by keeping the rooms available. Always helpful and patient while remaining professional. They kept the room spotless and the free breakfast was very good. Great care, great quality, reasonable price in gorgeous surroundings.

Stayed at the Ruby one night on my way back home to Central Alberta after visiting family in Meridian, ID. I actually stayed at the Ruby in May 2016 on my way down to visit family in Meridian. Both times the room was clean and the staff friendly!

We stayed at Hotel Ruby for one night while passing through and it was a solid choice for a comfortable stopover. The room was basic but clean, and the bed was comfortable. The staff were friendly and welcoming, check-in was easy, and the location was convenient with restaurants and shopping nearby. The included breakfast had a good selection and was a nice way to start the day. The big disappointment was the pool. It was much smaller than expected, more like a large paddling pool than a hotel swimming pool. Families with kids looking forward to swimming may find it underwhelming like we did. Overall, if you’re looking for a clean, affordable hotel with friendly service, a good breakfast and a convenient location, Hotel Ruby is a good option.
