DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel San Bernardino

10/10 Excellent

"This was an amazing experience!!!! First time staying at a Double Tree and nothing to compare with Garden Inn by Hilton!!! These people are really professionals and super friendly and knowledgeable,… and above all,… dedicated to their jobs! Even the people staying at the hotel were also friendly, we felt like “community “ Thank you Refugio for taking care of us coming from a long drive (San Diego)"

Quality Inn Riverside near UCR and Downtown

4/10 Poor

"This place was absolutely disgusting. The lobby looks like it's literally falling apart, with missing ceiling tiles scattered throughout. The parking lot felt sketchy, with people loitering around the back and an overall unsafe, uncomfortable vibe. The room itself looked like something straight out of a sleazy 90s motel scene. To make matters worse, the guests in the room next door were loud enough to make the experience even more unpleasant. Cleanliness was clearly not a priority. The carpets were covered in strange pink and purple stains, and sections of carpet were completely missing near the bathroom. The nightstands were sticky and stained, and there was a chair and foot rest in the room that were also covered in mysterious marks. Honestly, we were afraid to put any of our belongings on the room's surfaces until we had thoroughly sanitized everything ourselves. The bathroom was by far the worst part. The shower head was so heavily calcified that it looked like it hadn't been cleaned in years. The bath mat was peeling up from the floor, exposing brown adhesive underneath, which was both unsightly and unsanitary. What makes this even more frustrating is the price. We paid $103 for a single night and were also charged a $100 deposit. For over $200 upfront, this place is nowhere near acceptable. The condition of the property is embarrassing, and it feels like management has completely given up on basic maintenance, cleanliness, and guest comfort. Save your money..."
