Top University of California Riverside Botanic Gardens Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn Riverside Downtown Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"I liked the property, the room was clean, hotel is pretty close to clubs and restaurants. Be ready to pay for parking if you decide to park in the hotel property."

Motel 6 Riverside, CA - UCR East

8/10 Good

"Nice and clean."

Hyatt Place Riverside Downtown

8/10 Good

"Everything was good overall, except that the plumbing was quite loud. There was a noticeable gurgling sound from the sink whenever the toilet was flushed, along with pipe knocking throughout the night, which was disruptive to sleep."

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."

Raincross Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is a clean and comfortable hotel right in the heart of Riverside. Near lots of interesting sites and restaurants."
