Marriott Riverside at the Convention Center

I loved that the pool was open till 11pm and they even had a little fire pit near the pool area. The snackbar being open 24hrs was really convenient. Beds were soft and came with plenty of pillows. We were also at the convention center right next door which was very nice.

Check in wasn't until 4 but I arrived earlier then expected because I thought there would be traffic due to the holiday weekend I got there about 230 when I arrived the girls at the front desk were very nice and said they could check me in not problem. They asked me if I was there for the convention I said yes I think they noticed I was nervous and said that they would love to see me I told them well I'm going to look like a giant purple fart. In the morning I came down stairs nd the other girls at the desk were very cheerful excited took pics with me and the previous girl saw me at the convention as well but my stay was very nice staff was friendly I wasn't from there so they told me what places were good to try for food nd what cute local shops were around to explore. They were kind to let me store my luggage there while I was at the event until my friends arrived I appreciated that because most places don't I was worried I be carrying it around for the whole morning and in costume too.

The location was great. And staff was very friendly.

Location near bars and places to eat. Had never ventured in downtown Riverside, good location for that. Pool available at an early time, 6am, that was really combina y for those who like to avoid a crowded pool, I do.

Conveniently located to our primary destination. Also, to our secondary- the Mission Inn.
