Quality Inn Riverside near UCR and Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Room was perfect"

The Mission Inn Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"This is really a place you need to come to once. We loved walking around and just exploring all the nooks of the hotel. We were upgraded to a room on the 4 th floor. I can confidently say that the room had the highest ceilings of any room I have ever stayed in. We ate at all 3 restaurants on site and while the steakhouse was overpriced for what we received, we still enjoyed all of our meals. We did the spooky catacombs tour (extra charge) and really enjoyed the history and ghost stories. The pool area is great and we spent several hours lounging in the sun. Front desk staff was great. There's not much around the hotel so just plan on coming and exploring the hotel for a couple days."

Dynasty Suites Hotel Riverside

8/10 Good

"Good for the price , however the coffee machine didn’t work, and the bathtub didn’t hold water, and there was a dirt bug in the tub. Other than that nicely refurnished floors and window blinds. Close proximity to UCR village with restaurants and shops."

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."
