    Homemade wine for evening appetizers
    Andrea B.

    My husband and I stayed at this lovely little bed and breakfast for our 8th anniversary and it exceeded all of our expectations. Tony and Beth had several homemade treats for us throughout our whole stay: assorted homemade pastries, a colonial spirit (home made), a beautiful charcuterie plate and wine they made from scratch. The house was gorgeous with a roaring fire in the immaculately furnished parlor/dinning room. Our rooms were not only confortable, but beautifully furnished as well. I particularly appreciated the little writing desk stocked with cards and stationary. I came and went as we pleased. Tony and Beth had some excellent recommendations for the area and every place we went was perfect. In the morning we had a three course delicious breakfast served to us on plates that had the flowers for the 8 year anniversary (that is how much detailBeth and Tony put into making your stay magical). Upon leaving we were gifted with some delicious homemade brownies. We will definitely be coming back to the Emerson house for the hospitality and the affordable ex

    Incredibly rich & moist birthday cupcakes waiting our arrival - made vegan especially for me!

    Top ratings for the innkeepers, the house, the food and the community. The innkeepers recognize the balance between providing their guests privacy and space while also offering great service. They offered wonderful advice about the community, telling us about independent coffee shops, small museums on campus, and the location of the "real" Indiana Jones' grave -- all of which is in walking distance from the B&B. (As a sidenote, Indiana Jones' inspiration Roy Chapman Andrews was also born in Beloit and studied at Beloit College.) Most impressive to me personally was how the innkeepers were so accommodating to my diet (plant-based/vegan); they did research, they tested recipes, and they provided! Incredibly moist and rich, elegantly decorated, vegan cupcakes were awaiting our arrival for my birthday. The evening appetizers and breakfast were also 100% vegan for me. The most tasty tofu scramble I've ever had, with sweet potato medallions on the side, while they also prepared a delicious omelette for my husband. Some wonderful details that make your stay enjoyable: - Coffee, soft drinks & snacks in the hall - Robes to lounge and/or venture into common areas - Large, soft & thick towels - Smart TV with Netflix access and DVDs for those without - Coloring books and pencils in the room - Classic board games & playing cards Highly recommended.

    They prepared appetizers for us on the back patio.

Upon arrival, we were greeted by Heather who explained the property's amenities, as well as reviewing a substantial menu with food and beverage choices for the breakfast the next morning. We stayed in the spacious Heywood Hardy Suite with a comfortable king size bed, large ensuite bathroom, a separate sitting room and a deck. The bed was very comfortable and the room was spotless. Heather and Tom serve breakfast to all of their guests at a specific time. Everything is fresh and made to order from your menu choices. Guests are seated at tables of four, and it was delightful getting to know there others staying at the inn. The property is beautiful and there is a field with a horse, sheep and other animals. Heather and Tom make you feel right at home. They're friendly, and love to talk, but they're not intrusive. We enjoyed our relaxing stay at the Red Speckled Inn. I highly recommend it.

    Would definitely recommend this hotel. It's clean, and compared to the other hotels in the area…read moreprice-wise it was a no brainer. Included were free parking, a free drink per person per night from the bar below, and free breakfast from the hotel restaurant. So not a "breakfast buffet" like you get at other hotels. You can walk to the capital and there is a very nice overlook of the lake across the street to sit and have a drink and hangout. They also have a cute patio off of the bar that's private. I really liked it. The rooms are a little old but like I said before-very clean. And the beds are comfortable with nice mattresses. You do get earplugs in the room since you are over a bar and on a busy street. It actually wasn't too bad. My husband and I slept pretty peacefully. We would definitely stay here again. I think it was a bargain.

    My husband and I were staying in Madison on a Thursday night, and the prices of most of the hotels…read moreseemed unreasonable, especially for a weeknight during the summer. I stumbled across Hotel Ruby Marie which was more reasonably priced, and found that a friend had stayed there giving only positive reviews. The hotel is primarily a one-man show. The same gentleman had answered the phone, checked us in, was vacuuming the rooms, and seemed to have put together the continental breakfast. He was very nice, as I had accidentally booked the wrong Thursday. He was very polite and allowed me to rebook without charging the no-show fee. Also, I found that they seem to offer a discount to customers who call. The hotel is located a short distance from the capital building, right by the Lake Monona running path. It shares its parking lot with a couple bars and restaurants. The stay comes with fee parking, welcome cocktails at Up North Tavern, and a small breakfast. It is really a beautiful, old hotel with antique furnishings and small touches that make you feel at home, such as candy and bottled water in the room. The location has a lot to offer, as many businesses are walking distance or a short drive. The cocktails at Up North were great. Though the breakfast was nothing fancy, it was fresh and hot and served in an attractive dining room. I think the main issue with the location is that if you have a first floor room (we did not) you are likely to be bothered from the noise in the bar. Also, it is near the train tracks. A long train passed by in the early morning hours and woke me up. I should also mention that our lake-view room did indeed have a lake view, but it was really more of a partial lake-view. All in all, we enjoyed our short stay at Hotel Ruby Marie. It was unique and had a historic feel. I would definitely return.
