Top University Hotel Reviews

Best Western Corona Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent..."

Ontario Airport Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Like Shangri La. A piece of the 60's vibe still intact. Love that they kept some history and limited the character killing updates. This was an old Holiday Inn and has retained some cool features. It was actually in the last scene of the movie Poltergeist which was on TV during my October stay. The room was dreamy and large. The bed was new and heavenly. I could go on and on. Best of the affordable hotels out there."

The Mission Inn Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"I only gave this a 4 star. I have been there before when it was a 5. It is under new management and found it very strange that a resort (who charges a resort fee) was totally out of washcloths. They were kind and offered extra hand towels, but come on, Amazon is a day away for those folks who asked for one (like me)) would have been happy to just have one. So, a 4, but a fabulous place to say the least!!"
