    The best bot launch on the river jack smith launch. It is an easy in and easy out. There are three separated lanes and prices are reasonable I think it was $18 or $20 for boat launch. Very clean area and lots of new parking. It does not matter what time you come to launch you will be able to find parking. I know here in the inland empire if you don't get to the lakes early than most likely you are not getting in especially now with covid going on they are limiting the numbers of boats that can get into the park. The river is beautiful especially going towards Parker through the gorge.

    I'll start by saying for what we were looking for, we loved it. If I were looking for a higher end place that I planned on staying for a while & needed more amenities, I'd probably choose a different place. But, I'd also have to chose a different town. We needed a place to stay over night, since my husband was too tired to continue, w/ late check-in, for a good price. We paid $36 total for 50amp electricity & super high water pressure on a very clean & spacious pull-through space. There were plenty of options for us even though we checked in after 1am. We called ahead & spoke to Lindsay (always call ahead to ask questions & get clarification), who was polite & provided very specific details on what to do, payment options & offered discounts. There are several ways to get discounts including leaving b4 9am the next morning & paying cash - see my attached pics for more details. The park also included several things we didn't get to use like the beautiful Marina, golf course, pool, a range of different size spaces if you check-in during business hours or make a reservation in advance. There are some extra charges for using some of the amenities, so you should go directly to their website to review them or call in advance, so you are not surprised. The owner's name is Rick & he's a good guy. We met him down at Juicy's Restaurant (check-out my Yelp review on them for more details) & got a chance to speak to him & his buddy for a bit. They were super helpful & friendly. He's a fellow Northern Californian, so he understood our plight. It was about 113° today. Might as well have been 160°. This place is great if you enjoy water activities (on the Colorado River) or just need to get some sleep for the night, as it was very quiet.

    Avi Resort & Casino - 6am view of the beach at the AVI

    Just Visited the Avi for a fun summer getaway. Decided to book with the Avi again because majority…read moreof my family was staying there. However this time my experience was way better! Everything was clean, tidy and comfortable. They have lots of new food options to choose from in the food court. As well as a movie theater, which we visited and was very nice! I would definitely recommend the avi & will be back again!

    I chose this hotel because it was in a nice location, away from the heavy traffic, which was one of…read morethe few positives about our stay. The staff was hit or miss. Some employees were very friendly and helpful, while others weren't welcoming at all. Unfortunately, the rooms were terrible and clearly lacked proper cleaning. The room immediately gave me the heebie-jeebies. There were strands of hair all over the bathroom, the vents were caked with dust, the carpets were filthy, and the walls looked like they hadn't been cleaned in a very long time. There was also a strong odor in the room that management appeared to be trying to cover up with an overpowering deodorizer, but it only made the room more unpleasant. The sinks and toilets were dirty, the refrigerator barely stayed cold, and the air conditioner never cooled the room enough to be comfortable. The pool was dirty, overcrowded, and not enjoyable. The drinks were also extremely overpriced--$17 for a drink that definitely wasn't worth the cost. The casino was another disappointment. The amount of cigarette smoke combined with poor ventilation was overwhelming and gave me a headache. One experience that really concerned me involved my 10-year-old nephew. He hurt himself while we were at the pool, and when we asked a staff member for an alcohol pad, we were told they didn't have any. I couldn't understand how a hotel with a pool wouldn't have basic first-aid supplies readily available. After my brother found another employee, we were finally given two alcohol pads, but it shouldn't have taken that much effort. If it had just been my husband and me, we would have packed up and driven the four hours back home or found another hotel. Since we were traveling with our children, we decided to make the best of it. I ended up wiping down the room and bathroom with bleach wipes myself and told the kids to keep their shoes on the entire time because I didn't feel comfortable with the cleanliness of the room. One final thing that made our stay uncomfortable was the number of stares we received for being Black. I can't say what anyone was thinking, but we had several moments that made us feel unwelcome. Overall, this hotel was a huge disappointment and nowhere near worth the price. Between the lack of cleanliness, maintenance issues, poor first-aid preparedness, uncomfortable atmosphere, and overall experience, I would never stay here again or recommend it to anyone.

    AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS!…read more My boyfriend and I were told to go here to rent jet-skis instead of renting at our hotel to save money (big mistake). It was sketchy from the start, a bunch of run down junk cars and boats out front, shirtless guys walking around, an all-around mess. We ended up renting 1 jet-ski for a half day. We were fine riding around on the river until we decided to stop at a little cove to rest and swim. As we were laying on our little beach, we observed our jet-ski slowly start to sink. We were able to get it on the beach and got it to start but it wouldn't go. We were told to call Randy with any issues. We called and texted Randy's phone and office with no response. We finally got a hold of someone at his office and she comes to rescue us on her jet-ski. Once she gets there, she informs us that we were sent out on this jet-ski with no plugs and we were taking on water. She went to give us a ride on her jet-ski to the marina, and now her jet-ski wont start and we are all stranded. Obviously, this place does not inspect, repair, or maintain any of their rentals very well. 5 hours later, (with no food or water in 110-degree heat) we finally get picked up and taken to our hotel. Randy was supposed to meet us at our hotel later that evening, but of course never showed or called. We wasted an entire day of our vacation because Randy couldn't do his job. Lesson learned: Spend the extra $100 to rent at your hotel!!

    Unfortunately I didn't get the chance to rent from Riverstar. I made a reservation with them…read morebefore coming out to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday. However, I accidentally went to another rental shop and thought my reservation was there. That rental shop did not tell me my reservation wasn't on their books and so I ended up renting from them, not knowing that I made a reservation with a different company (Riverstar) I ended up having a missed call from an unknown number at 12 and I called it back at 5 only to realize it was Riverstar rentals asking where I was with my reservation and why I didn't show up to get me jet skis. At that moment, I had realized I didn't have a reservation for the skis I picked up. When speaking with the owner (I forget his name) I could tell he was bummed as he held the skis all day waiting for me when they easily could have gone to someone else. Instead of complaining and getting upset with me, he asked if I had fun, was understanding about it and handled it very professionally. I am looking forward to using River Star rentals next time I visit. It's not always about how company's handle things that go right, but how they handle them when they go wrong.

    Highly recommend renting from here! Their wave runners were a great price and both of the men…read moreworking were extremely kind, helpful, and knowledgeable about the river. They gave good suggestions on where to be on the water to help keep our family safe on a busy Saturday and helped us enjoy our day on the water! I also really appreciated that the price they quoted was the actual price. We've rented from other locations and there were additional fees not mentioned on the phone and only shared upon time for payment. River Star was transparent from the start.
