Plenty of parking The bed was very uncomfortable. If you sat at the foot of the bed, the rest of the bed rose up. The pillows were like pillowcases stuffed with limp rags. There was a sheet and a very thin bedspread and no blanket or quilt or any extra bedding in the closet. The lights were very bright and no way to dim them

Did not feel safe. While I checked in I was asked do I really want to stay here. Did not feel comfortable at all. From being stared at by other guests to the owners asking me if I wanted to stay here. I could not even spend 30 minutes in my room before handing back the key card and leaving to check in to a nicer place. Unless this is all you can afford go somewhere else.

Only good thing was the owners / people at the desk, they were kind. I had lost my key and she was understanding and gave us a replacement. We actually went to this place after leaving a previous one because it was so terrible, so the bar was set pretty low. It was much better in comparison The blankets were paper thin. Shower head was leaking. there was mandatory house keeping (no “do not disturb”) so we had to get locks for our suitcases so we felt more secure. For some reason no guests were allowed. And lastly, we were warned by an uber driver that the area it’s in is dangerous and to not go out at night…

The Staff was more than nice, they were very nice. Easy check-in and check-out. No problems. The only complaint that I have is that I chose this motel based on the picture that I saw and the room was not like that at all. The room was clean and tidi but the bed was lopsided and too soft and the room was not what the pic told.

We came to this location after having an unacceptable experience at a different hotel. The property is clean, and I did not see foot traffic going through the property. We stayed two nights here, I would use this location again.

Was a good price and location for what we needed. Thinnest blankets of all time. Also the shampoo packet could not be opened. Lady at the desk asked me for a “cash deposit” after she gave me the keys. I refused and that’s a weird request.

My room was clean but to be honest, it was a very expensive room for motel especially the price was almost identical to hotel’s room. Next time if i have the same budget i would definitely stay in hotel. There was no hair dryer, no phone for room service and someone left food in the fridge and it was not cleaned. Overall, it was an okay experience. Staff is nice but the area, i am not so sure.

Not sure if this is the best area of Riverside; lots of homeless and obvious serious drug use in the area. All the nearby eating establishments are fast food type restaurants. The room was poorly furnished, no kleenex for example and the lighting was not comfortable. The room had two beds, one was awful so I obviously used the better, which was adequate.

Riverside options are limited. It’s either fancy expensive or someplace like this. For the price point, it was clean and comfortable enough. The property next door is an unsightly problem.

Outlets, when i was chargibg my phone, the plug kept falling off because the outlets were too loose. $0.25 just to get ice? Are you kdding me? It should be free for all guests. $40.00 cash need to be turned in at deposit? Isn't there a reason why hotels ask for credit cards? No one carries cash these days. When i came back to my room, it wasn't even cleaned and bed sheets weren't even arranged. I know it was that was during the pandemic where staff does not clean the room until guests check out but the pandemic ended, rooms should always be cleaned. I came in before 3pm i find it hard to believe there were no rooms available downstairs. No coffee maker? Seriously? There should be a coffee pot in each room. I've been to cheaper motels that have better stays than this.

The owners were terrible and set off the fire alarm twice during my week long visit. The sink leaked water the entire week, and the shower lacked a proper curtain so water regularly got out and there was no drain so it stayed overnight.

Don't bother with this place. The front desk clerk wanted to double charge me for the room. $124 per night is ridiculous for this motel, but double charging for a night, not this sucker.

Hotel required a $40 cash deposit per room that caught us by surprise. We were able to use the ATM at the next door market to cover it. Deposit was returned in good faith so no issue there. The lady running the service counter was also able to accommodate us with a second room key. Overall a solid experience and would recommend. A/C worked great, which was helpful on such a hot weekend in Riverside.

My room, at the back and on the third level, was clean, comfortable and quiet. Nothing fancy here, but I wasn't looking for that. I was a little surprised at the $20-cash only deposit on the room key, but it was cheerfully refunded when I checked out. You also have to pay for ice and you don't get much for 25 cents. But that's no big deal to me. By and large I was satisfied and would stay here again if traveling alone.

Everything was good overall, just thought it was weird that they asked us for the deposit in cash upon check in since that was never mentioned when we booked. Thought they would just charge it onto my card like any other hotel, but they said they couldn’t. We had to go to an ATM to take cash out and bring it back, and they said they would give it back to us once we checked out…but no receipt or anything. Good thing they were nice and did end up giving it back to us when we left.

Don’t stay here. All around unpleasant experience, the room wasn’t clean (food) on the floor from previous guests, dirty towels etc. you have to push your whole body against the door for it to lock properly. Then the staff barely speak English and there are no refunds for early check outs.

I was charged for my reservation, even tho i was told at checkin that i wasnt allowed to stay there anymore (due to being late to check out previously) the worker lied and said that his owner wouldnt allow me to stay there and im on the do not rent list. I then asked for my lightbulb (must i add, cosr nearly 60$) when i was yelled at for "changing their lightbulb" i corrected the workers & let them know i didnt change anything... There wasnt a lightbulb there to begin with. -i still haven't received my lightbulb. Nor have i been reimbursed for this reservation. THEY DO NOT DESERVE THAT BUSINESSD PERIOD
