Santa Cruz Inn Riverside

Hotel is a bit older but well kept. The room and bathroom were very clean. Location is near downtown, I was there for a concert and ended up walking to the venue since it was only two blocks away. While reading the other reviews no one mentions anything about a deposit, but I was charged a $40 deposit which was later reimbursed.

If you like kitchsy old hotels, this one’s for you. A little run down but that’s it’s charm. On the national historic register. Historic district and convention center very close

Great room

The Santa Cruz Inn was very clean. It definitely looked like efforts are being made to update rooms. The ice machine was down, but the manager still managed to get me ice, which is a necessity for me. I was there by myself and felt safe and slept well. I would absolutely stay there again.

Pretty basic if charmingly old motel. Front office staff was pleasant. Good if small flat screen tv. Bed was just adequate. Room lighting not good. No amenities. Located in downtown Riverside a short walk from many dining choices and the Mission Inn. We stayed there for the Festival of Lights at about one-third the cost of a night at the Mission Inn. Parking was a problem, they don't have enough for all the rooms and we had to park overnight on a side street, which was free.

It's an old/unique property. The staff was very good. The room was clean with plenty of room. The only thing I didn't like was we needed quarters for the ice machine. Overall a good, old spanish flair to this Motel

While my stay there was no issue at check in time. You can't have visitors management gets mad, and will be on your but about it. The towels are very thin and only give 2 even when u have 4 plus guest. Clean wise it was clean.

I would definitely stay here again. The room was clean and the hotel was super cute. Also pretty close to downtown.

The staff was very hard working and put so much effort into the acomidations, every time I had a question the front desk was extremely helpful in helping me find and getting me what I needed.

Good alternative to more expensive Mission Inn or Marriott. Quaint but comfortable.
