Quality Inn Riverside near UCR and Downtown
Homeless sleeping on the grounds. Police responded to a call in one of the rooms. People loud in the rooms, walking in and out all night. I recommend going elsewhere!

Motel 6 Corona, CA
It was a motel 6. The kiosk check in was strange but efficient. Seven was very kind. However, if they try to put you in room 101, request a change. That room is RIGHT next to the front office, and you can hear EVERYTHING.

7 Springs Inn & Suites
The room was okay but somewhat dated. It could use a bit of renovation. The grounds are very nice and the pool and spa are kept clean. The staff was very friendly. My biggest disappointment was the wi-fi. It was weak and kept cutting out.
