Top University Hotel Reviews

Marriott Riverside at the Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"The property is always clean and very well maintained."

Quality Inn Riverside near UCR and Downtown

2/10 Terrible

"The property from the front looks nice, everything behind the front office is questionable. There are people living in their cars on the back end of the hotel, people appeared to be living in the hotel long term. It was not a comfortable experience, the inside is old and rundown."

Motel 6 Ontario, CA - Convention Center - Airport

2/10 Terrible

"I was very disappointed with this hotel stay. The room was extremely sparse and lacked basic amenities that most travelers expect. There was no mirror outside of the bathroom, no shampoo or conditioner provided, and no hair dryer available. Cleanliness was also a major issue. The floors were sticky, and the bed sheets were stained and had black hairs on them when we arrived. The area outside the rooms was poorly maintained, with garbage and cigarette butts left around for the entire three days of our stay. The TV in our room did not have a remote and would not work on our first day. When we contacted the front desk for assistance, we were told they could not fix the issue and that we would have to wait until the next day. The pool area was also frustrating. Our room key would not provide access, so we had to find an employee each time we wanted to enter. Additionally, there were no lounge chairs available around the pool to relax on. Overall, the lack of cleanliness, poor maintenance, missing amenities, and unhelpful response to issues made this a very disappointing experience. I would not stay here again and cannot recommend this hotel based on our visit."

6/10 Okay

"I asked for a quiet room, it was noisy, next to parking and street, next morning walking to office, I see that it has rooms that overlook the interior courtyard. The toilet seat wasn’t attached to the toilet, the breakfast was bad, eggs cold, potatoes cold, my waffle was OK, coffee was so so, it’s an old B W that needs a lot of rehab to bring it to todays standards."
