Holiday Inn Express San Bernardino - Colton by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"the staff was great breakfast was good both days i was there we had 2 rooms and both were nice a clean"

Marriott Riverside at the Convention Center

8/10 Good

"There were renovations going on so better signage for rest rooms would have been helpful. When I got ready to check out there was parking on my bill and I said I did not use parking. They deleted one day, I said I was there 3 nights there should be no parking. They said they would handle. Only 2 days was credited and I did not see this until I returned home next day, so one day still not credited. Bed was uncomfortable. Felt like mattress was a rock or at least slept on for so long that it was so compacted. Room was spacious and loved shower, suggest better non-slippery surface for seniors that are concerned about falls. No I did not request a handicap accessible room; but this seems like common sense. Restaurant staff very friendly as was housekeeping. Would stay again as accessibility to freeway was easy and great parking ( my daughter used)."

Dynasty Suites Hotel Riverside

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at Dynasty Suites was a good one. The desk clerks were very courteous. The first room on the first day could have had a cleaner top sheet, but the bottom sheet seemed clean. The amenities were fine, especially the access to a microwave. The second room we booked was much nicer and the bed was cleaner. The refrigerator in the second room had a freezer compartment, where the first room did not. The first room also had a DVD player, but the 2nd room did not. I'm not sure why the amenities varied from room to room. I chose Dynasty Suites because it's walking distance to so many things, the movies, restaurants where you can dine in and also a number of fast food places. The local markets are also withing walking distance or a short drive away of less than 5 miles. I would book them again."
