Dynasty Suites Hotel Riverside

8/10 Good

"The A/C was not working"

4 min from UCR, open floor-plan, monthly stays available

10/10 Excellent

"Everything went smoothly. Communication was great. Property was perfect for us, nice and clean. Great location for commencement activities at UCR. Lots of nice touches such as a full stocked coffee station and toiletries ( in event you forget things)Garage was tight, so if you have a full sized SUV you probably won’t fit. We would definitely stay again."
