New hotel, located in Downtown Riverside. The Fox theater, and Main st were 2 blocks away. The food lab was one block over.
WARNING: It is a very clean, nice hotel/apartment for people. I say apartment because there are families living there. I did not know this when I booked. I'm not to sure how I felt about that. I went down for breakfast and saw several families with their kids getting breakfast, with their backpacks, and after school. They all knew each other. They were there everyday I was there. I think it should be noted in your reservation. You do have to have a key to access any floor. There was a girl letting her friend on the elevator who just visited her, who smelt like she just hotboxed herself in the room. My kids were in the elevator with me and she literally made us all cough.
Keep in mind they are still doing construction. Parking was a bit tricky. Street parking is almost non existence. I did see cars getting towed in front of the hotel. They do offer valet, but at $29 a day. There is a parking structure attached to the Fox theater, but I didn't feel safe parking there and walking alone 2 1/2 blocks on back streets.
The pool is not completed, as well as the outside patio.
The room was a good size for our family. Kitchenette and full fridge were very helpful. The rooms are not being cleaned very well. The shower was already turning pinkish from not being cleaned. There was also no ventilation in that room or bathroom. I read on another review that you could hear doors slamming all night and day, this is true.
They have a gym, washer and dryer, as well as free breakfast. One of the better free breakfasts we've ever had. Lots to choose from. read more
