Top University Hotel Reviews

Motel 6 Ontario, CA - Convention Center - Airport

10/10 Excellent

"P"

Best Western Corona Hotel & Suites

8/10 Good

"Rooms were clean but dark. The divider between the queen beds was a nice feature. Location is more budget oriented. Breakfast was good with waffles, eggs some fruit cereal bagels coffee etc. The entertainment system was a little annoying how it announced everything and limited channels to watch. There was a smoking area next to the pool and that was not great either. Overall not bad for a budget motel."

Hyatt Place Ontario Airport

8/10 Good

"This place is brand new and very nice. I would stay here again for sure. Only complaint I have is that the room’s A/C and light in the bathroom has motion sensors. So, the room was uncomfortably hot for me and my friend. (Also, you can only set it to 68 as the lowest) And the light would turn off in the bathroom while I would shower. I would hope that gets resolved for future patrons."
