Santa Cruz Inn Riverside

This place is a nightmare the property is in very poor condition the service is horrible we had the worst experience ever we where the literally for 13 minutes we check in go to our room I was going to take a nap while my wife showered when I pull out the sheets there was 5 different hairs on the white sheet and the pillow covers then I pull out the rest of the blanket and there is make up on the sheets spoke to the "Manager " she tells me I can leave the property when in reality I was going to do that I'd be crazy to stay there the worst place to stay DO NOT STAY HERE?

The room was fine, the outdoor upkeep up the hotel was degraded. Need new paint, paving, re-landscaping. Looks like a novel outside, but it’s deceiving my run down looking. The room was absolutely refurbished, clean and modern.

Manager was rude and wanted to make a scene at five in the morning when no noise was made on our end. The no visitors rule is awful

The staff wasn't the friendliest or most accommodating, but the room we had was very large and interesting. It looked like an old convent room or something like that. There were small stained glass windows and an old fireplace in our room. There aren't enough mirrors in the rooms though, only the one in the bathroom. The beds were nothing special, but fine for one night. Riverside has close to nothing going on, so you probably won't be in this hotel for very long anyways.

Pretty worn down, dirty and scary environment. Not a place for a woman traveling alone

The place is super convenient to downtown Riverside, well maintained and very affordable. I really enjoyed the hotel's architecture. Having a door onto a balcony, though tiny, was nice in that I could open up the door to let enjoy the evening breeze. WiFi was excellent (there are plenty of hot spots throughout the property).

It is a classic property that has been renovated and is unique to the area. There was no breakfast included, but the courtyard area and property grounds are very inviting.

The place is beautiful and historic. However, it needs to be renovated. The owners should bite the bullet and spend the money and then charge accordingly. Get rid of the week rentals and make it a mini Mission Inn.

I first was impressed by the age and charm of the structures, and then I was surprised by how clean my room was, and that it had recently been remodeled inside. I enjoyed it. The Wifi was “iffy” though

Poorly repaired OLD property. Only comfortable to sleep, not sit and chat or read or relax.
