Just enough parking spots. Nice reception. Shower hot enough with amount, and duration ok. Garden type setting pretty at night. Some traffic noise, but not extreme. Fairly safe area, lots of different people in area. Bed, bath and T.V. ok. I would go back again.

While checking in, a different rate was quoted than the total rate that was finalized thru Expedia.

Really cute property, pretty loud because it's right on the major street but that makes it very convenient and walkable. Management gave us a bit of a problem because of false information on their site. We also booked a room with 1 queen bed but they insisted it was 2--not complaining though, the views were great

The rooms are in much need of a refurbishing but it was clean. My bed didn’t have a fitted sheet, just a flat sheet laid over a plastic cover. The tv played only CNN. I tried to call the front desk several times but no one answered. It was ok for two nights and was a short 6-7 min walk to the convention center.

The manager there is rude both in person and over the phone. She cuts you off when you are talking, doesn't answer the phone in a friendly way whatsoever. She needs to take a class on how to provide better customer service. Never staying here again. Save yourself the time and money and don't stay here.

It was okay. An older building that needed some repairs. Check in and out required ringing a bell and waiting for someone to come to the window.

Room was disgusting. Sheets were paper thin with holes in them, hairs all over the sink, bathroom inside the sheets. You could tell someone had just finished using the bathroom because the toilet paper roll was jaggedly ripped and mostly gone.
We left…abandoned the room and booked another room somewhere else. So disappointed.

The room was fine, the outdoor upkeep up the hotel was degraded. Need new paint, paving, re-landscaping. Looks like a novel outside, but it’s deceiving my run down looking. The room was absolutely refurbished, clean and modern.

Manager was rude and wanted to make a scene at five in the morning when no noise was made on our end. The no visitors rule is awful

Pretty worn down, dirty and scary environment. Not a place for a woman traveling alone

The place is super convenient to downtown Riverside, well maintained and very affordable. I really enjoyed the hotel's architecture. Having a door onto a balcony, though tiny, was nice in that I could open up the door to let enjoy the evening breeze. WiFi was excellent (there are plenty of hot spots throughout the property).

It is a classic property that has been renovated and is unique to the area. There was no breakfast included, but the courtyard area and property grounds are very inviting.

The place is beautiful and historic. However, it needs to be renovated. The owners should bite the bullet and spend the money and then charge accordingly. Get rid of the week rentals and make it a mini Mission Inn.

I first was impressed by the age and charm of the structures, and then I was surprised by how clean my room was, and that it had recently been remodeled inside. I enjoyed it. The Wifi was “iffy” though

Poorly repaired OLD property. Only comfortable to sleep, not sit and chat or read or relax.
4.0 / 10.0
Hotel is a bit older but well kept. The room and bathroom were very clean. Location is near downtown, I was there for a concert and ended up walking to the venue since it was only two blocks away. While reading the other reviews no one mentions anything about a deposit, but I was charged a $40 deposit which was later reimbursed.
