Good stay at the Raincross
The Raincross was conveniently located to downtown Riverside. The staff was very welcoming and accommodating! The property is obviously older, but maintenance is current. The queen bed we had was among the best I have slept in on my travels. The breakfast was also quite good! Free parking is located right outside your door. I appreciate being able to find an adequate motel for a reasonable price! We would stay here again!

This room was clean and well kept. If there is one thing that we’ll mention to the staff, is that the refrigerator needs attention. We didn’t use it because of the foul smell. Other than that, we would stay here again.

It's more a motel than a hotel, but very well located, walking distance from downtown all venues in Riverside and free breakfast. Room was very clean, bed was comfy and service was good. Overall a good experience.

I wasn't prepared for this property to be a motel, and I had to buzz to get into the check-in area. It was quite clean but the shower was clearly bought at Home Depot and installed into the bathroom and the floor of the shower was badly stained and the shower itself was small. The space itself is very basic - be prepared for a table, A/C, bed, drawer, tv and closet and the table is right next to the a/c because the room is small. The breakfast is bread - toast, danishes, waffles, no fruit or protein and there is definitely no restaurant or bar. This is a place you sleep at and that's it.

My wife and I had a great stay. The property is very clean and the room looks like it was recently remodeled. The surrounding neighborhood is nice and clean too, we felt very safe here. The bed was comfy too. We checked in late at 9 p.m. and were greeted with a friendly smile. We had dinner next door at Ixtapa Mexican Food, had a great meal and they had live music which was awesome! We would definitely stay at the Raincross next time we are in Riverside.

Could be better
Bathroom was missing a waste basket :( Arrived at night and they will only talk to you thru the side window. I could barely hear the feont desk helper. Not sure how they want to that since it is a busy and noisy area

I have been staying here for years, and altho the are where it's located is not the best, it's always my go to. It's clean, close to everything downtown riverside has to offer, and the staff is amazing. It's my home away from home.
