Marriott Riverside at the Convention Center

Decent hotel. Nothing remarkable or fancy about lt. Nothing terrible about It. Just ehh. Check in and check out was easy

The room was clean and the bathrooms were nice didn’t like the fact that there wasn’t a refrigerator in the room. And there’s no wifi they charge 12 –15 dollars for wifi !

I think I’ve been a platinum member for at least 15 years for starters. I’ve stayed at numerous Marriott properties over the years, some great, some not so great. This one would be in the not so great category. Tiny room with the, hey the 60’s called and it wants it’s bathroom back, shower. With all my years of loyalty my 3^rd floor room view is of the roof of a section of the hotel. Perks? Well free Internet, ok thanks. Parking is silly and expensive, with little free parking around the hotel, forcing you into the 12 bucks a night garage. Where’s the fridge and the microwave listed in the amenities?
If things improve I will adjust my rating, hopeful in Riverside.
Well it’s checkout time, and I think this one is going to be a one star. After my visit to the concierge level night before last and having to sit outside due to the rotten garbage smell inside, yes rotten garbage smell, (it was about an hour before closing time) I’d seen and smelt enough.
Today, for breakfast, concierge level was closed, I wondered down to the restaurant. My free breakfast (hey a platinum perk) started of with coffee and a pastry, and scrambled eggs, oh wait the scrambled eggs had green and red peppers in them, who does this for mass servings of scrambled eggs? EGGS FOR THE MASSES I SAY, PEPPERS ON THE SIDE! So anyway I opt for the omelet, which after checking back 5 minutes after I ordered, the cook had disappeared and nothing was on the stove. So pepper eggs it was. Meanwhile I had dropped my bill off for some tax correction at the from desk, «be right back for it» I say after I finish my breakfast. So I return 15 minutes later, same girl, «may I help you sir?» Uhhh yes my bill, tax exempt form, remember? Oh I threw it away, thought you were not coming back… what? Ok so, room service, $ 28 cheese burgers, with a mini pepsi, with no glass of ice, man I could go on. Don’t stay here, it’s a rip off, staffed by students who don’t care, who do not live up to the Marriott name, it’s a borderline dump. Choose wisely my friends, I will never stay here again.

We stayed here for a business trip with my husband. It is dated and needs a remodel. Id say its dated from the early 2000’s. Its clean. Staff is super friendly. In fact, all of Riverside seems to be!
Its a close walk to the Mission district which is charming and has a nice Saturday market.
Our room did NOT have a fridge or microwave. Bummer. Guess they want yo to eat downstairs. They do NOT have typical items if you forgot them at home such as razor or toothbrush and toothpaste. You have to buy those too.
We had to switch rooms in the middle of the night at 1am because the thermostat started to make twitching and buzzing electrical sounds. Security and maintenance was worried about fire. They should have upgraded us to a better room but just moved us one door over. Yikes!
They did comp a breakfast at their restaurant though.
Some paint moly and chipping the bathrooms (but like I said, it needs a remodel).
Our view was of the roof down below and a HUGE spotlight came into our room at night.
Be preferred to pay $ 12 a day in addition for parking.
We had free wifi.

We had a terrible experience. There is mold in the shower (so hazardous). Paint in several sections of the bathroom was chipping off. The window of the bedroom does not lock close or seal therefore there was a lot of additional noise coming in. We had a terrible view of the outside. I suggest they beautify the roof of the outdated air conditioning units with greenery so that it is not an eyesore to customers. The outdated air conditioners are loud We heard carts rolling upstairs the entire night. The staff did not have the courtesy to inform us of these issues unlike other hotels that I have visited. Good luck catching a good night’s rest at this hotel
Isn’t it the responsibility of the cleaning crew to notify maintenance of bedroom issues such as paint stripping or a bad window?
Can Marriot take $ 50 from the $ 200 I paid to paint and bleach the mildew and stripped paint from the bathroom?
Well, I’m on my way to the store for 5 hour drink before I head home. Thanks to Marriot, I received only a few hours of sleep.

We stayed at the Marriott for our 10^th wedding anniversary. We were on the 10^th floor and the view of Riverside and surrounding cities was spectacular in both the daytime and night. The Shrimp Linguini is a perfect dinner entry comparable to an upscale restaurant. The Ice cream Sundaes make a great dessert (they are loaded). If you really want a special romantic evening, try getting a room with a jacuzzi. My only gripe was the cost of breakfast. Sausage is $ 6 for two regular sized ones. Eggs are $ 6 for two. You have to buy these separate from the main entrée. So I opted to just get French toast only. Otherwise I would have paid $ 48 for breakfast for my wife and I. On a positive note, the French Toast was delicious and didn’t require sides after all. The room service employees were very polite checking in to see how we enjoyed the food.

We stayed here the night of our wedding and had a great experience! Got to stay on the 12^th floor and had a beautiful view of the Mission Inn decorated for Christmas. When we checked in (very obviously in a wedding gown and suit) they asked if we had gotten married and upgraded us to a free breakfast the next morning which was awesome!
The room was average size, very clean, well-​stocked with toiletries, and just what we needed. Never turned the TV on or tried to use the Wi-​Fi so I can’t say anything about those aspects. We got a great deal on the room too. All in all, very pleased with our stay at the Marriott.

Super friendly staff and a nice looking lobby. Rooms need to be updated. Popcorn ceilings make me cringe. No valet! Yikes!

La ubicación esta muy padre para salir a caminar, todo lo que está en downtown está increíble, pero no es una zona segura, si sales por la noche es importante ir acompañada. El hotel no tiene cuarto de lavado para huéspedes y el room service es extremadamente caro.

Room service was great friendly and tasted delicious.
I paid a rate of 219 for a hot tub suite of floor 4.
when getting to the room at 4pm after checkout there was still dirty dishes in the hallway and a refrigerator all night.
We got to the room and had a nice view of the pool the problem was that we are on the 4^th floor and all of the kids in the pool were very loud, that isn’t really something they can control but you know paying that much for a room I would think I would be on a higher floor away from the sounds of the pool/​street or maybe they could put some better dual pain windows in to eliminate the noise. Furthermore the room next to mine had a bunch of kids in it that kept knocking on my door and making noise early in the am running up and down the hallways and late at night, once again something they can not control but maybe with a higher floor or maybe not booking rooms right next to suites with couples in them on valentines day night!!! I even asked the front desk if the hotel was at capacity and her response was it was about 60% full so no excuse why the room next to mine HAD to be booked.
The room itself was in fair condition not what I expected from the Marriott though the hot tub was falling apart the panels on the side were failing to hang on exposing adhesive velcro. the bathroom was incredibly small not a big deal but the shower door keeps opening seems like the magnet that holds it closed was missing and the shower door kept hitting the toilet even when your sitting on it or in the shower causing water to spill out all over the floor. The room also had some hair accessories on the desk (bobby pins) not from us, telling me that the desk had not even been wiped down since the last guest.
Finally, after horrible sleep from the kids next door and pool/​patio people yelling and partying housekeeping opened my door WITHOUT EVEN A KNOCK WHILE I HAD PRIVACY SIGN ON THE DOOR AT 10AM. Check out is not untell noon this was the straw that broke the camels back I tried to complain to the front desk upon checkout and they told me «that was normal of housekeeping to open doors in the morning and I could go back up to my room and go to sleep if I want to» really no I don’t even want to be in this hotel anymore and will probably never come back. I would have paid almost any amount to be on a concierge level but was never asked or given the option while booking online all of the «extra amenities» I requested when I reserved my room were not even considered either not a big deal to me but why ask me if you are not even going to do it?
I have had better experiences at Motels then Marriott Riverside at the Convention Center.

Friendly staff & very clean. Parking is a little confusing but it works out. I can honestly say the bar is beautifully composed :)

Whoever thought of putting the green light on the side wanted to remind us that sleep is going to suck. ;p
Hotel room was clean, on the medium big side. Everything was solid. People were nice. Great convenient location across the convention center.
Btw: Wifi don’t be fooled, just click on the 12.99 and put your room number and your name. No charge, the first night I didn’t know … and was forced to watch regular T. V… WHAT!

Top Marriott I’ve been to in the Riverside area yet. Decent bar area and restaurant, concierge lounge had nice deserts, cheesecake and carrot cake. Staff in the lounge was nice.
King studio was average size, clean. Business center was tiny.
Location convenient, short walk to Boardwalk with restaurants.

Staff was friendly and helpful. Located in downtown Riverside.
Room & bathroom was clean, beds are comfy, and the room was nicely maintained.
My church organization had an event here and the room rates were exceptional for Marriott. I love how they are walking distance to restaurants, and shops.
I would stay here again.

Gross buffet and breakfast. So much wrong with the options don’t know where to start. Frozen butter doesn’t work with spreading on toast. You get potato, oatmeal, eggs, bacon, sausage or eggs for buffet. That a isn’t a option that a meal.

Friendly staff and large quiet room in a great downtown Riverside location. But we were missing the usual hotel amenities of black out drapes, coffee makers, and an extra blanket so we woke up too early, cold, and in need of coffee.

Enjoyed my stay. Modern upgraded and pricing was reasonable. Only 8 dollars to park in the garage, although you could probably find street parking if you’re patient.
Bar in the hotel closes at 11pm? strange.
Room was clean, beds are amazing as always, and the room was nicely maintained as usual, per Marriott. I would stay here again.

From Manny A. to Ari R. we could not have had a better 2 nights! We were high on life for the very fact that we were there to see our son Aaron Kleinert, STARTING FRESHMEN DEFENDER, PLAYING SOCCER FOR UC RIVERSIDE!!! We came in from Boca Raton, Florida, EXHAUSTED! We were treated with kit gloves the first night we checked in by a wonderful girl, who’s name I didn’t get. We were hungry, tired and thirsty! The staff was helpful, friendly, and went above and beyond their call of duty to make 2 proud parents feel even better than ever! We ONLY stay at Marriotts! This was by far the best small town feeling in a big business atmosphere hotel that I have ever experienced! I love you Manny! Go Red Sox! Patriots! Bruins!

We stayed here Saturday and Sunday night. Though we had elite memberships, this Marriott continued to make mistake after mistake.
It started with a bunk stamp on our parking ticket that was supposed to enable us to get our vehicle out of the parking structure. It’s funny because my boyfriend commented that it looked like the stamp hadn’t been made properly. He was right; the arm wouldn’t raise to let our vehicle go.
The room wasn’t properly stocked as requested.
There was no water in the lobby, though they said it was available only on weekdays. However, even on Monday there was only a water dispenser and no cups!
A female employee from the front desk on Sunday CALLED ME SIR.
The microwave stopped working and my boyfriend had to lug it to another outlet so that we could eat our leftovers.
This was the worst Marriott experience yet.

Not very good, too many mistakes.
Moved my car out of the parking lot after talking with the front desk. Was stuck there because the card didn’t lift the exit arm up.
The power strip where the Microwave was plugged in stopped working so I had to move the microwave somewhere else. These sort of things should just work, come on people.
On top of it all, Riverside is not very nice. Too many drunk drivers around the hotel, be very careful.

We have stayed in many Marriotts all over the country and stayed here at this property on our drive back from Joshua Tree back to Redondo Beach.
We checked in using the new Marriott app and so the process was very quickly completed once we arrived at the hotel. We chose to drop our bags off at the room and got a light dessert at the bar. Only three choices for dessert, but the mud pie was passable. It looked better than it tasted but we were hungry and finished it in record time.
The room was nicely appointed and quiet.
The breakfast was one of the nicer ones we have seen in a hotel outside a concierge. Although it took a little while for them to notice we were waiting to have breakfast, our server was quite gracious and did a wonderful job even though she knew we had a coupon for breakfast. The choices were healthy and well prepared With excellent variety.
I commented to my husband that even though I do not know why or when we would ever be in Riverside again, I would totally stay at this property! It met our expectations and we are glad we chose this hotel to spend the night

Lobby and pool were nice. Restaurant had 3 families in it including us and it still took the one waitress forever to bring our food and 20 extra minutes to refill drinks after she realized no one had refilled them. And Room was clean but the tv stand had a big crack in the fake marble. But other than that a 1 night stay here is ok but not sure if it was worth the money. We are Marriott rewards members and this is probably the worst one we have ever stayed at. But considering every other hotel we looked at had reviews of bed bugs I guess we got off ok.
Note: Riverside is having some kind of bed bug infestation, be carful when choosing your hotel.

Only attended a 1-​day workshop so can’t speak about the rooms or rates but as a workshop venue in the IE it’s pretty good! Easy to get to off of the 60 fwy, super close to the convention center, large parking structure adjacent. Parking is validated with the workshop but I noticed that there’s a side street that looks pretty safe and doesn’t have time limits right next to the hotel (elsewhere has 2 – 3 hr time limit spots). The lobby is clean, staff professional, conference rooms are clean, quiet, wifi is fast, no technical difficulties. Continental breakfast was straight-​forward but lunch was great (Chinese food with delicious snapper and beef). Would’ve liked mid-​morning and mid-​afternoon snacks but the did leave out the breakfast food for most of the morning and left out the cakes past lunch.

I stay in hotels over 60 days a year and this Marriott has to be the worst hotel I have ever stayed in! Very run down! carpets in room old dirty furniture old and aged bathroom toilet seat broken in check in. Hairs in shower from who ever stayed in room last! Hotels idea of food after 10 pm is something you would see in a Marriott courtyard on a very bad day… Cooler 2/​3rds empty. Pizza in frozen box melted and moldy. I am in riverside for the next 6 weeks with work and was going to stay at one hotel the whole time… Checking out tomorrow to never return!
Marriott it is time to pull your name off this building and make it the super 8 it is trying to be

What was I thinking, I now remember from my first stay I did not like this Marriott. My memory is fading apparently. It all started at check in. The front desk people are not very helpful, but it probably not all their fault. It really started with Marriott unbeknownst to me demoted me from Gold to member. I specifically asked for the Platinum challenge since I am Diamond Hilton and Platinum hyatt and well Marriott would only pony up Gold. Ok whatever. Gold is fine it gives me a few perks. They took it away so now I have none. That pisses me off. I could have stayed right across the street at the Hyatt and been fine. I will next time.
The rooms are ok here but the showers are ridiculous. I was going to step in when I realized the bathroom was flooding because of the crappy design and a shower curtain that wasn’t big enough to cover the shower.
Marriott unless this gold issue gets fixed that’s it for me and I WON’T be staying here again. It might not be a bad thing it will allow me to just focus on earning my Diamond on Hyatt. :-).

Was here for work… Worst service ever. Had a 2 hour commute and was hungry. It took 30 minutes for a steak because the kitchen was backed up. Only one waitress was available. I do not plan on coming back here just because of reward points. Rooms were ok, I’ve seen better from Marriott. I should have stayed at Mission Inn.
