The hotel is a large white building facing the streets and standing magnificently. It looked much bigger and than the Hyatt next door.

What is the One Bedroom Suite like?

The room was renovated, old furniture was removed, and it was different from the last time I stayed.

IMG_0727.jpg (40)

It was an old hotel before, but it is a clean and modern room. The room itself is a large room without partitions. The view and sunshine coming in through the large windows made the room feel spacious.

IMG_0727.jpg (15)

The bed mattress was also new. I do not know what kind of spring it is, but it was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept on in a hotel.

IMG_0727.jpg (36)

On the bed a was room service instruction and chocolates.

IMG_0727.jpg (26)

There is a big TV, a desk and a chair across from the bed.

IMG_0727.jpg (28)

Next to the desk is a storage space.

There was a large window, and the upper half could be opened partially. It felt to good to open up the window and let nice wind come in.

IMG_0727.jpg (17)

Even though there was a pool right by my room, the sound of people playing did not bother me at all.

Bathroom

The bathroom was also renovated. After renovation, a room with a jacuzzi seems to be only this room, so I was lucky to be upgraded here. I was able to enjoy my bath time.

Towels, soap, body soap and body lotion were prepared on the bathtub.

Environment around the hotel

There are no major tourist spots around the hotel, so there were not so many tourists, and it’s an area where locals gather. It is safe because people are coming and going, but it is not recommended to go out at night. There are a variety of restaurants to pick from.

Staff and customer base

The hotel staff are friendly. The housekeepers were always smiling as well.

IMG_0727.jpg (13)

The hotel is right next to the convention center, so there were many people who are participating in the convention staying here. The hotel is close to Ontario Airport, so I also saw pilots and cabin attendants staying as well.

Summary

Mount Libido is a popular mountain for a day-to-day hiking. As you go up, the scenery is nice and you can take good pictures. In addition, this city is a fun city to enjoy food. The hotel’s Concierge Lounge was excellent and the views over the downtown Riverside were really nice. I was very happy that the rooms were renovated, and I was able to spend a relaxing time at this hotel. I would love to come back here again.
