Motel 6 Riverside, CA - UCR East

8/10 Good

"Nice and clean."

Dynasty Suites Hotel Riverside

10/10 Excellent

"Buenos"

Thunderbird Lodge in Riverside

8/10 Good

"Generally speaking, the Thunderbird was approximately 20% more than the average rate for the average cheapest lodging. I stayed at the former and the latter during my trip, so I have some ground with which to compare. 20% was worth it. Overall, my impression of the Thunderbird is that of a motel navigating in some regards a crisis of the wider hospitality industry. There seemed to be amenities that were once offered but are no longer (the pool being the most obvious. Maybe it’s only available part of the year, but during my stay it seemed to be used as a place to dry wet clothes). My first experience the morning after my overnight stay was with a vagabond who emerged quite surprisingly from the direction of the derelict pool to ask for a dollar. But the place was nice enough otherwise: the shower was warm, the bed incredible, the A/C cool, the hair dryer present, the toiletries bountiful, the staff friendly (if not evidently overworked). One last note on the staff. One evening I stood over the balcony while a blaring ambulance speeded past the motel. I looked towards the parking lot and I saw the employee who checked me in hurriedly walking towards another guest room with extra towels, and I saw the moment that she heard the siren too. She, real quickly, made the sign of the cross on her body. If I interpreted correctly, she offered a quick prayer to whomever the ambulance was speeding towards. I found that to be such a beautiful gesture. For that, I would return."

"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."

Spacious Riverside Farmhouse, Perfectly Located

10/10 Excellent

"We traveled to Riverside for our daughter's wedding & found this incredible home in Canyon Crest. It is the 1st time we rented a home that not only felt like home but that we did not want to leave. The home was perfect in all aspects, warm, cozy, comfortable & had everything we needed during our stay. We loved the location, a short distance to all conveniences, including a beautiful walk to an incredible park at the top of the hill. The hosts were extremely responsive to anything we inquired about. Don't miss this beautiful, relaxing experience. The view from the yard is truly spectacular, with an amazing pool and hot tub. The property has so much room with a private master suite upstairs. Beds are great. House is so large & quiet & has everything you need, including a great game room. My wife & I are already talking about going back. If there was a rating in excess of 5 stars that would be my rating."
