Top University of California Hotel Reviews

Raincross Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Traveled to Riverside for a swim meet. Stayed here for 4 nights. It was clean and quiet. Newly remodeled studio apartment type of room. Perfect for me and my daughter."

Ayres Hotel & Spa Moreno Valley

8/10 Good

"Hotel was clean, rooms were spacious, bed was comfortable, pillows fit just right, & water pressure for shower was excellent. There was a microwave that we didn’t use but a fridge that we did utilize. Towels were thick and my only con was not selecting an ADA room. My fault in that department. Breakfast was good and the guy running it on Sunday, 7/26/26 was like a one man show. Just on it, best employee ever. He made sure nothing ran out while cleaning tables, sweeping the floors, and closing the back door numerous times. Location was great and in the middle of all the shopping and eateries within walking distance. All in all, great hotel that I’d stay at again should the need arise."

Holiday Inn Express San Bernardino - Colton by IHG

8/10 Good

"The front desk and breakfast staff are very nice and helpful. They should wear name tags, so we can recognize them. There are few things that were not good. The AC unit makes very loud noise. If you are a light sleeper, you will be awaken by it. Also, the cleaning staff should make notes of the rooms that were not cleaned & come back as guests requested."

Dynasty Suites Hotel Riverside

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at Dynasty Suites was a good one. The desk clerks were very courteous. The first room on the first day could have had a cleaner top sheet, but the bottom sheet seemed clean. The amenities were fine, especially the access to a microwave. The second room we booked was much nicer and the bed was cleaner. The refrigerator in the second room had a freezer compartment, where the first room did not. The first room also had a DVD player, but the 2nd room did not. I'm not sure why the amenities varied from room to room. I chose Dynasty Suites because it's walking distance to so many things, the movies, restaurants where you can dine in and also a number of fast food places. The local markets are also withing walking distance or a short drive away of less than 5 miles. I would book them again."
