The Ruth's 30 rooms are clean and brightly lit, if on the small side, especially the bathrooms. That said, they're perfectly comfortable, with quality mattresses and linens, remote-controlled aircon, hot water and really fluffy towels. Note that some rooms are without windows and none have particularly inspiring views. Room service is offered, though you're unlikely to want to spend more time holed-up than necessary.
