Seriously beautiful and unique hotel. You can walk and get lost in the towers. Our room was huge. The windows do not open. Very clean considering how old the place it. The food at the two restaurants we tried was pretty good.

Breathtaking hotel and views within the piazza. Food and service in restaurant was less than desireable.

I have stayed at the Mission Inn countless times over the years, and I always really enjoyed it. Until today. I went to the restaurant for breakfast and was told that the wait would be 15-20 minutes before I could even be seated. That made no sense to me, as I could see that most of the restaurant had empty tables. But I complied. After about 15 minutes, the hostess seated someone who I know got there after me, so that perturbed me. I then waited another five-plus minutes and still did not get seated. I then had to leave and eat at Starbucks because of my schedule. So, great hotel but watch out for the pathetic service in the restaurant.

Couldn’t be more happier with our experience .
Can’t wait to return .
Highly recommended for a stay .

Beautiful hotel and architecture. Staff was kind and helpful. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. With any historic place, the furniture and carpet are dark. The plumbing was good/not great, but the bathroom had beautiful tiling and nice towels. My room opened to the outside, which wasn’t a problem exactly but I did wonder about safety (solo traveler). It was totally fine of course, but I was also glad it wasn’t raining. Finally, I checked in around 8:30 pm, and food service ended at 9:00.

Overall I’ts a very nice hotel to stay at and return. A very grand feeling. The amenities are too expensive. One meal each for 3 people, 4 drinks, 3 appetizers and 1 night valet was around ~$1,000.

Lobby and outside of hotel is beautiful, very aesthetically pleasing. The actual room was dingy, the floors in hallways with lumps and dips, not sure why. The smell in the room was off. The toilet is about 2feet off the ground, not good for taller people. Front desk customer service was poor. The young lady looked like she had a long night, maybe hungover, seemed like she was being bothered by us, with her body language and demeanor. Ask to stamp or validate our parking ticket to get the discount price of 27$ she said no need just go. Anyway there was a need, thank goodness it was only $3 more, but would have been bad if a 10$ difference.

Very nice! Neat little shops and restaurants in the surrounding area within walking distance. If you’re into night life there’s tons of bars within walking distance. Safe parking garage .

Long line at Check in. Only one person behind the desk even though it was early in the day. Not able to get the room of our choice. Ended up in small dark room. Very uncomfortable.

The historical hotel was absolutely beautiful! The staff was professional and helpful! The room was clean and comfy! We enjoyed the balcony. The hotel has many areas to explore and enjoy! We would stay again.

Hmmm so I booked a king bed on Hotels.com. When we checked in we were given a queen. 😬 i recently had a total knee replacement and so sleeping in a queen is very worrisome to me!!! My husband could accidentally hit my very painful knee during the night. 😬
Also I called housekeeping and then the front desk to get a down pillow.?? No one ever answered the phone, and I gave up.

The bed had earwig bugs and the mattress cover was urine stained, told the front desk which notified house keeping. The Patio restaurant for breakfast ignored us and didn't offer a table to us or at least say I will be right with you, and it was not busy in the least. I guess we were invisible, the hot tub was warm at best. The Chapel is locked always and if you ask staff about tours they are uninformed of process to take a tour.For what we paid ot was rather disappointing.

Hotel is amazing, great place for a weekend getaway. Very relaxing, and beautiful hotel. The customer service for some reason is not very good. The front desk staff don't seemed properly trained, especially when compared to other nice resorts, their is no poolside service, they make you walk into the bar area, the hostess will tell you their is poolside service, but the bartenders will tell you no their isn't. They just need to tighten up their management more.
FYI - the internet is horrible here, so don't rely on doing any work here
Only recommend a night or two here, there is nothing to do in Riverside, it's nice to be able to walk to anything in downtown Riverside, but not much to see.
I would definitely recommend spending some time walking around the entire hotel to see the architect and the history, it's pretty cool.
Overall, not sure I would stay here again, but fun for the one weekend.

The service was excellent in the bars and restaurants, the room was beautiful and clean, so was the pool and the spa. My only problem was I couldn't get a hold of anyone when I needed some robes from housekeeping. Besides that, loved it. Beautiful property

I requested room not to face the courtyard because of the restaurant noise and music . At the time of check in, I was informed that they could not honor my request. I was given a room that faced the courtyard and I was unable to get a good night sleep. I called the front desk to speak with the manager. I was told by Itza, women who answered the phone that there was no manager on duty and the only manager on duty was security manager. I asked to speak to the security manager and she said she would locate him but instead hung up on me. I had to call several times before she answered the phone again. I asked why she hung up on me. She then said there is no manager on duty as he had left and I could talk to the manager in the morning at 10:00 am. I am unable to get a good night sleep. I am not very thrilled and I need this matter resolved.

We love the Mission Inn but it has been a little inconsistent. There was no ice bucket once. In another stay, the bathroom was dirty (they moved us no problem). And lastly, some rooms don’t have the bathroom amenities. This last visit, my fiance was at the pool but the bartender/server never offered to help bring her drinks and food to the pool. She had to put her food and drinks on the floor to open the gate. She thought the service would come to her (like last time) but instead the drinks and food were just sitting behind the bar for over 1 hour until she realized that she had to go in and get it. Overall front desk will always help you out if you need anything (they are great). Besides the inconsistencies, the property is amazing and we will continue to stay at the Mission Inn.

Check in staff didn’t provide any information on the hotel amenities. Building is beautiful and well maintained but it’s old single pane windows meant a lot of outside noise from the bars in the area kept us awake all night

We absolutely savored our stay at the Mission Inn. We took the tour and walked around it, enjoying all the architectural elements, design features, colors, arches, domes, lights, frescoes, bells, etc…. We hope to return & are telling all our friends about you. All staff were professional and helpful ~ thanks team!

It was a beautiful hotel. I was disappointed by the service. I checked in, the room wasn't ready, so they stored our baggage until we returned.
When we returned to the hotel, the front desk said to call the number on the bag claim ticket to have the bags brought to the room.
I had to call repeatedly to get anyone to even answer the phone. I finally got ahold of someone they said they would contact the bell service to have the bags brought up. One half hour no bags. Called back, and was told the operator couldn't reach anyone at the front desk or bell service. It was midnight and I still had no bags, I couldn't get ready for bed, or do anything.
Finally after both myself and my friend who was staying with me called a number of times they dropped off the bags.
It should not have been this difficult. Not sure why they didn't bring the bags up and put them in the room when it was assigned, even if I wasn't there.
This really ruined the evening.

We were married here 42 years ago and came to celebrate our anniversary. Every room in the hotel is unique. The buildings and grounds are just plain captivating. Our room was spacious with a great view and balcony. Everything was perfect.

We were super excited to be here. After long time, finally we were able to fix our schedules and after long day work we ended up here. The front desk kathy was unfriendly and not welcoming. We paid the highest price for a room that the explanation of Expedia was wrong. The front desk didnt try to help us the fix the issue instead she charged us $30 extra to get another room in third floor. Even i showed her that we paid for the most expensive room and she was told us it is what it is. Even Expedia rep called the hotel and the lady ignored them. We ended up to pay $30 extra. The inn is overrated while it doesnt habe that extra ordinary view and nothing was even close to the pictures. Super old rooms with old furniture. We came here for my birthday and front desk ruined all our good vibes. Definitely we arent going back here and definitely im not 3 this place!

Nice rooms. I was very surprised to find out that there is no dryers on the bathrooms! First hotel that happens. Other than that, plenty of towels, toilet paper and soap. Clean and comfy bed. Be prepared to pay $35 dollars valet and $20 dollars self parking.

Great old piece of California history, Greta place. One suggestion—add a device charger station in each room. We all travel wit devices that need charging.
