    empty parking lot
    Kirk M.

    Stayed at the Hampton Inn in downtown Riverside, which is conveniently located right next to the Food Lab. The room was clean and pretty standard. One downside was the noise from the room above us as we could clearly hear footsteps, and it sounded like they had pretty heavy feet. What really bugged me, though, was the parking situation. The only options were $30 valet or trying your luck with street parking. From our room, I could see an empty parking lot, which made it feel like a money grab. Breakfast was from 6 to 9 AM, your typical Hampton Inn setup with eggs, waffles, and a few sides. Nothing fancy but does the job. Overall, decent stay, great location, but the parking setup left a bad impression.

    I want to Thank all the Yelpers! for the tips. I was able to find the public parking structure nearby! It was a very clean and well-maintained hotel and a great location! I stayed over the Thanksgiving holiday, and there was no construction going on, so it was noise-free for us. There must be some feedback about the noise, so the hotel provided 2 sets of earplugs on the nightstand. The housekeeper provided a sanitizer wipe by the TV remote; that was an extremely thoughtful gesture! I enjoyed the daily beer, my mom loved the hot breakfast with lots of selections and daily specials. The hotel is pet-friendly, which is another PLUS for us!

    My new favorite area to stay while visiting in Cali. The location is PERFECT!!! It's worth staying here and driving to nearby cities when visiting. There's parking construction going on so parking would've been a headache in which, I'm glad that they offered valet parking. Upon arrival, the valet crew were nothing short of amazing! I liked that they loved my vehicle and parked it by all of the fancy vehicles(I'm only saying this because I'm a car chick) to give the hotel an classy vibe upon entrance. Cute display. That strategy was nice guys Grateful I absolutely love it here! This location appears to be very safe, nice and has lots to do within walking distance. My hotel view was the best!!! Since, there was an ANIME CONVENTION going on here, I was able to have a great view. Watching Anime characters was one of my favorite thing to watch from the Top floor view upgrade that I was provided. Thanks guys The rooms are nice and clean but not fancy. Definitely a great comfortable place to watch TV, lay your head and to shower. Give plus!!! In my past travels literally have never made it to breakfast in hotels because I've always thought of them to be basic, until I stayed here!!! This hotel has the best breakfast that I've ever seen in any hotel and from now on, I'll be definitely taking advantage of hotels that offer breakfast. Lol They had 3 types of orange juice, freshly scrambled eggs and egg whites, sausage made with the perfect seasoning, sausage patties, 2 different waffle batters (Red Velvet and regular), oatmeal with different toppings and biscuits with gravy as well as fruit. Like I said, THE BEST BREAKFAST EVER!!! These awesome cooks and staff definitely deserve a raise and 3 Months off (he he ha)! Of course I had to tip them because service was amazing!!! The hotel also offers beer on tap which is offered outside of breakfast as well as 24hr Coffee, hot chocolate and tea all in the lobby. I'm not a beer drinker but it's a nice touch for those who do drink beer. Honestly, I don't think I've ever been 99% satisfied at any hotel but this crew and valet crew of awesomeness made it happen. I wished that they provided free or cheaper parking for it's guests. I wasn't a fan of the pool which was in back because it wasn't a very good location to have it and it's kinda thrown back there. I liked the patio with the BBQ grilling area though. I also wasn't big on the bathroom, not that it was bad but, it was just kinda outdated looking for the hotel to appear newer. I don't think it's a place kids would enjoy ONLY because the pool area isn't very big and they would probably be board in the area. I find the area more of an area for adult fun with restaurants bars and boutiques to go through. ( In my opinion ). Unless, there's kids events going on at the convention center which is literally a few feet away. In anycase, I'll definitely be returning here when I'm in that section of Cali.

    Great hotel in the middle of busy Downtown Riverside. There is so much in walking distance and I barely used the car the entire time throughout our stay. Service is good, they have a small shop inside for water, snacks etc if needed with a self check out, daily breakfast and in the afternoon even beer on tap. There is coffee as well. Nice seating in the lobby, great grill and seating outside as well right next to the outdoor pool. Worst of our stay would be the road noice with sirens etc. we didn't hear much indoor noice from hallway or other rooms, but fire trucks etc were prevalent quite a few times in the night. Nothing that kept so from sleeping once asleep. There was a mini fridge. Coffee maker and microwave in the room and the room itself was clean. Close to shops, food, street art, bars and more.

    I stay at Hamptons usually, b/c they take pets. This is probably one of the worst Hampton hotels. The area is super sketch, right downtown and next to a tattoo parlor of some sort and an auto repair shop. The proximity to the convention center was why we stayed here, it's within walking distance, across the street. The parking!! AWFUL PARKING. You pull up expecting a lot and there is 1 spot. Your option? Valet for $29 a day, or drive down the block to the public lot for $20 a day. They are building a lot in the back that might be for this hotel, but it's been under construction for 1.5 years, so you'll end up in a parking mess. If you are able-bodied and can do the walk, drop your luggage at the door and go park for $20 in the public lot. It's the same exact lot where they park you for $29 and they drive your cars like maniacs. We did the $20 option and watched how the valets would run over and drive like racers in the cars. Do it yourself, especially if you're just there a single night. The lot is awful, dirty, smelly, and looks unsafe, but they did have security after hours and our car was parked 3 days and was fine. The breakfast was good, and hot, and varied which was nice. The gym was ok - very few machines but they did have working tv screens and some amenities were provided. The room was below average -- very small by Hampton standards and everything in the room turns off if you don't stay in constant motion (tv, lights, etc.). Overall I wish we had booked someplace else -- there was also no nearby shopping and the parking was a major turnoff. Check your bill before you go!

    This hotel was perfect for a night's stay before our trip. The staff was helpful, the breakfast was delicious, and the room was clean. Great location, too. I would definitely stay again.

    Look at the time and date of checking out a second time

    Do not give this business your money! This business does not want to honor their refund policy. AND THEY WILL LIE TO YOU! Look at all the one star reviews here. I held off on writing a negative review to give the hotel a fair chance to make things right, but they didn't. So here we are. We were checked into room 330 on April 27th. And, checked out of the room right before midnight on the same day, due to the extreme noise. We attempted to get some rest in our room, but after a couple of hours had passed, we knew we weren't going to get any sleep. The room had ear plugs in it that we put in our ears, and I had also brought along my white noise machine that was turned all the way up. Despite our best efforts to drown out the noise, it was just too loud. I was told upon checking out that a refund would be issued to me. The woman handling the front desk told us that she couldn't switch us rooms because they were at full capacity due to a high school cooking competition being held at over at the convention center. She told us that "a refund would not be a problem," and that I would see it posted to my account within a week. To my surprise, when I had inquired about it a week and a half later through the chat, I was told that I "hadn't checked out of the room yet." I find that strange since the company charged me for the room the following day. If I hadn't checked out of the room, wouldn't a cost still be pending? I had also attempted to check out of the room a second time about 20 minutes later, when I had noticed on the Hilton app that it didn't say I had been checked out of the room yet. I had taken a screenshot of my attempt to check out of the room as well. I also sent this information to the company through email and their response was that they can't issue me a refund because the person at the front desk that checked us out "didn't write that we left early in the checkout notes," and that was what they were going to base their decision off of. Which, if you remember in the beginning the chat through the app had told me "I hadn't checked out yet," but the person who checked us out "didn't write anything in the notes." So, did we check out or not? Hampton can't stick with their story. Even though I offered screen shots with time/date stamps, they would still not honor their refund. They should just say up front that there are no refunds, rather than telling guests that a refund will not be a problem. There was also a concern over the cleanliness of the room that we tried to address. There was a dirty towel, with what looked to be makeup and blood on it, wadded up and shoved into the bathroom cubby. This is the last time I will ever stay at this hotel. My opinion from this experience is to take your money elsewhere to a business that will honor their word. Because, Hampton will gladly take your $400 on a hotel room that they know you won't be able to sleep in. Hence their courtesy earplugs. The Hyatt hotel is right across the street.

    The hotel is advertised as a historic landmark and seems charming at first glance, but within the…read morefirst few hours, left me disappointed and I wished I had booked something else. However, it got a bit better later, mainly because the manager was really great with the way she handled matters. I would give the place a 2 starts and her attitude and work ethic a solid 4.5 starts. Overall this averages out to 3.5 stars. First the disappointment part: In my opinion this is not worth the price it definitely left a lot to be desired in terms of quality of rooms. Our 2 room suite had broken furniture in the living room, bathroom and the sliding door between the room was broken. The bathroom window curtain rod was broken and actually came apart and fell down while I was showering with rusty nails falling in tub. There was no walk-in shower which might be okay but the tub was also not cleaned well and a bit rundown. For people traveling with kids or lot of luggage, please be aware there is no concierge service/bell boy or carts, there is also no way to disembark from the car with luggage before parking. Parking is a walk away, so be prepared to walk with luggage. There is a valet service which will help out at extra cost. The room service ends at 9pm. On the first day, the customer service was not good. We got more "No" than "Yes" from the front desk but the customer service improved next day and the hotel manager was really great (Henrietta) which made up for the first day and drove me to give it a 3 star review). We requested a roll over extra bed/mattress. I don't have a comparison of the quality of this in other hotels but the bed we received was like a hospital bed and very uncomfortable to sleep in. The suite faced the front road so lots of traffic sounds and road sounds through the night. The redeeming part: The hotel manager was super helpful and understanding when we expressed our concerns. She saved the day for us, upgrading us to a bigger suite for the next night. While we ended up having some issues there as well, she was sincere enough to remit us one night's stay due to all the issues. Note that the suite we were upgraded to was historic and beautiful. If you like the haunted history associated with this hotel, this would be the suite to book. We did not experience any spooky stuff but the charm and age of the walls and the medieval castle feel was enchanting enough. The suite was surrounded by beautiful gardens and fountains. It was lovely. Overall,beautiful, historic place with charm and a bit of intrigue but I don't think the pricing per night is a reasonable fit for the quality of the rooms and services offered. The rooms could use renovation and modernization without impacting the historic quality and architectural elements. Better staff training to ensure all staff are courteous and passionate about customer service, better upkeep/maintenance, pest and insect control and longer hours of room service /dining would be great. Great manager, thank you Henrietta for your professionalism and service, your attitude and saved the trip for us.

The hotel is super clean and maintained with a pool, and a wonderful staff. It also offers a decent free breakfast with a variety of self serve options.

Our sink was draining real slow creating a mess after it drained. My 2 concerns can be corrected with minor undertakings but nevertheless these issues should have been addressed by the hotel. You must pay a nightly fee for parking, but it is a well secured parking area worth every cent. The rooms are comfy and well furnished. I highly recommend this particular affordable Hyatt brand.

When we reached our room, we noticed how poorly noise proofed it was, whenever a truck or loud car drove by, the room became particularly loud, which did not help with sleeping. The room itself was also somewhat dated. When we went to bed, I was looking forward to sleeping in, but unfortunately this did not happen. The fan in the room turned on at roughly 5:20am, and it was probably around 65 decibels. Needless to say, I was awoken. The breakfast selection was also not great, with not many kid friendly options, and cold coffee. The only reason this hotel did not receive 1 star, is all the staff we interacted with were very polite, and made us feel welcome, even if the customer service was not the best. Overall, I would not recommend staying at this hotel if you are in the area, and I will not be returning.
