Quality Inn Riverside near UCR and Downtown

8/10 Good
"Checked in to a very pleasant man. Room is in need of carpet replacement and front door replaced. Pool looks nice but pool area needs upkeep..I went to the pool one day and when I returned to my room the key didn’t work! Man at desk asked for ID…Ofcourse my ID was in the locked room..After I showed him my bank account info on my phone he still hesitated then gave me a new key..He was a rude man!"
