The Mission Inn Hotel & Spa
A great historic hotel. Very cool and definitely not another courtyard by Marriott. It is historic, grand, quirky and comfortable. I loved it, but not for people who like modern luxury or a standard, i know where everything is type of hotel Loved it

Quality Inn Riverside near UCR and Downtown
Breakfast was good. Staff was friendly, room was ok we had lots of fruit flies in the room. Toilet didn’t flush the best.

Marriott Riverside at the Convention Center
It would have been nice to know that the pool wasn’t working in 90 degree weather when booking the hotel. Room service menu is very limited. Room was clean and spacious and was ready when I checked in. AC was extremely loud and woke me up all night.
