Safe Hotels near CBU

I’m planning on attending my grandsons water polo tournament in September and need a safe hotel near CBU. Any suggestions welcomed!

California Baptist University (CBU) is located in Riverside, so for attending your grandson’s water polo tournament, you’ll want a hotel that is both convenient to CBU and in a safe area. Riverside generally has a good selection of hotels near the university, especially along the main arteries like University Avenue and near the 91 and 60 freeways.

Here are some good options to consider:

  • Hyatt Place Riverside – Located just a few minutes from CBU, this hotel has modern rooms, a pool, and complimentary breakfast. The area is well-patrolled and considered safe for families.
  • Courtyard by Marriott Riverside UCR/Corona – About a 5-minute drive to CBU, offers a pool, on-site dining, and is in a family-friendly part of Riverside.
  • Holiday Inn Express & Suites Riverside – Conveniently located with easy freeway access and includes free breakfast and parking. Safe neighborhood with other hotels nearby.
  • Residence Inn Riverside Downtown – If you prefer a suite-style hotel with a kitchen, this is a good option. Close to CBU, with a quiet and secure area.

Other tips for a safe and convenient stay:

  • Stick to hotels with on-site parking and 24-hour front desk service.
  • Book early for September, as sports tournaments can make Riverside busy.
  • Check reviews on recent safety, cleanliness, and family-friendliness.

All of these options offer easy access to CBU and are in safe, well-lit areas suitable for families attending events like a water polo tournament. Driving between these hotels and the campus should take under 10 minutes.
