Top University Hotel Reviews

Studio 6 Suites Perris, CA

10/10 Excellent

"Honestly, I really didn't care for motel 6 until I stayed at this one. It doesn't have the feeling of " U can get anything here"....if you know what I mean. The rooms are great ( refrigerator, microwave, bathtub). The only thing I have trouble with is figuring out what I'm watching on the TV. That's probably because I don't watch much TV.👍"

Hyatt Place Ontario Airport

10/10 Excellent

"This property is a great! The location is close to ONT airport and many So. California attractions. This property is bigger and more spacious than the Hyatt Place near Ontario Mills Mall. The mall is less than two miles away, so if you have a choice-pick this property! My grandkids loved the pool, hot tub, pool table and lobby games. The breakfast was great! I will definitely stay here in the future."
