Quality Inn Riverside near UCR and Downtown

8/10 Good

"The room we were given did not have a working AC unit. The staff was very helpful in changing our room. The second room smelled of cigarette smoke, so the staff was again helpful in providing a third room. The hotel is older, a little run down, but fairly clean and a place to sleep. It was the only one in the area for that price range that had a breakfast included, so that’s a bonus."
