This hotel is MUCH better than one would expect from its chain affiliation. Its traditional "motel with exterior corridors" appearance gives no hint of the high quality unusual for the price cathegory. Rooms are new and show great attention to detail. Excellent breakfast with high-quality coffee. Staff is friendly, courteous and competend. We relied in making our hotel choice on... More

This is a great, reasonably priced hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The bed was the most comfortable I have ever slept in. The room was super clean. The breakfast had yogurt for protein and the standard baked goods and cereal. The hotel is walking distance to downtown plaza and central to everything in Riverside.

The sheets were a bit threadbare and there were sketchy people walking through the parking lot at night, but this is a great value for the general location. You're just a half-mile from downtown restaurants and there's a grocery store across the street. You can also see Mt. Rubidoux from the parking lot. The pool was out of service during... More

I had to stay in riverside for a couple days and saw the reviews so I decided to stay at ABVI. When I got to the area it looked like just another hotel, but as soon as I stepped inside I saw that it has been recently remodeled. The front desk staff was very nice and helpful. The room looked...
