Econo Lodge

Pregnant wife and I not allowed in the lobby to sign in because we were checking in «late», although we saw other people checking in inside the lobby minutes prior. We booked nonsmoking but they claimed they were overbooked so that my pregnant wife and I got to stay in a smokers room with no other options. Yuck! Room was not very clean. Felt like we needed to have our shoes on walking around the room, really, there was «stuff» around… I don’t even know. Towels were a bit crusty. I would be giving this one star except that half of my pissiness is just from being in a smokers room. It wouldn’t have been nearly as bad if I didn’t have to continue to smell ashtray smell in my sinuses most of the next day.

They allow dogs and that was really my main priority. I moved from a few states away and needed a hotel for myself, boyfriend, 70 lbs boxer and 27 lbs terrier for four days. It’s def sketch. Cops here every night to do a round but we asked them what was up and apparently there can be some «clients» visiting the place so they just make a stop at night to ensure everything is okay.
House keeping was offered to us every day. It was cheap and we had a fridge and microwave. A lot bigger than we expected. If you’re okay with some weird looking characters around you should be good.
Aaannd we had our whole lives in our two cars and nothing ever got broken into. That was really the most important part aside from the dogs.

Too much noise from upstairs and some weird people staying at a room across the way that liked to stare. Definitely not from this country. Hotel is kinda old, shoulda chose days inn riverside, but no I gotta be captain moron and choose the middle eastern hotel. Bed was comfortable. No decent view of anything.

For the value we got it at, it was not worth it. Rooms were old, and dirty. It smelled, and didn’t clear out even with the air circulating all night. They served breakfast, but very limited; it’s only enough to hold you over until you actually get to a breakfast place.
The bathroom was clean; however. Also, it was conveniently close to the downtown area.
I will know better next time not to stay at this place, even if it’s just for a stop over.

This place was alright. Despite the patrolling police, wondering people, people staring from the balcony…
It was actually suitable for 1 night. The room is actually a lot better than I expected. Bring shampoo if you do end up staying for more than one night. OH! and their breakfast. isn’t like pancakes or anything… it’s just cereal or a choice of donut, croissants… things you’d find at costco.
I’d recommend this place if you just need a place to crash for a night for cheap.

Our first time in Riverside we stayed here because EVERY hotel in the city seemed to be booked because of the race at Fontana Raceway. This place was booked solid too, which we learned when they gave us a room in the back near their laundry facility (for linens, not for guests). This was the worst hotel room I have ever stayed in, and I was convinced we would die or contract a disease (and/​or crabs) during our stay.
The most memorable of the «highlight»: instead of a peephole, there was a hole drilled in the door and a duct tape flap on our end. Pure class.
