Top Riverside Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place Riverside Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very nice, spacious and perfect location for my occasion I would love to stay here again. I didn’t get to try the free breakfast but that is a great addition to the stay. The staff was very helpful and friendly and made sure everything went smoothly. There were a few moments when upstairs guests footsteps were a little loud, but nothing too bad. "

Courtyard by Marriott Riverside UCR/Moreno Valley Area

10/10 Excellent

"The staff and service stood out. At first I thought I had just encountered one person, Donovan at the bistro/bar, but it was also everyone else. It’s nice to stay somewhere where you can relax, especially because we were in a large group. The rooms were also very clean and comfortable. "
