The room was huge and very clean and nice. The bed was very comfortable. The traffic on the street was super noisy, but our room was close to the street. It may be quieter in rooms farther down.

The stay was very nice, smooth check in and check out, the manager of the lot was very accommodating for upgrade the room from a single to a double on such short notice. Really appreciate the effort and going out the wall to do that.

Best place in Arlington!
This hotel is a tiny gem in Arlington. The outside does not look like much, but the rooms are very nice and the staff is accommodable.
For the price and a tiny 1-2 day stay, absolutely pick this place.
I will say that the phone service is dependent on the owners to pick up, but they will be awake at 6am if you pester them enough :| .

1)Motel is listed as DOWNTOWN Riverside CA but is 15 min drive from downtown 2)Room durty, fresh frys on floor. 3) Room had one bed but NO Chairs, no seating 4) No Cups, Glasses or way to take a drink 5) No Microwave, or coffee maker or Fridge. 6) No access to brake room or cofee. 7) The in room AC UNITS were so loud every time the heat came on from Nabors or our Unit it woke us up.8) Safety * Stair steps to out 2nd floor room were so small you had to place foot sideways on each step so for two 80 year old people it was dangerus. 9) no eleavator so to get our bagage up to room was very difficult.10) For Hotels.com to charge this much a night is a CRIME. 11) Hotel.com states the web site covered all charges However on check in the Motel demanded we pay an additional SECURITY DEPOSIT. == For more info contact us

The room wasn’t clean when I arrived. Opened soap package and used bar soap was still on the sink. Floor was dirty. I had to wear socks if I decided not to have my shoes on. The upholstery on the chair in the room had stains all over it and was dirty.
