Beautiful setting, but lacks oversight in every department other than parking lot attendants and bellman. We purchased an overnight package that included: a bottle of Champagne, chocolate dipped strawberries, two cupcakes (when we booked the room several days in advance we were kindly asked what flavor we preferred) and a $100.00 certificate for dining on the premises. The suite was... More

There was some difficulty over reservation policies for packages, but Markus (thank you!) got that sorted out and we spent a very pleasant night after attending a retirement dinner in town. A far better idea than driving back to Orange County and a very pleasant experience in its own right. Sable (hope I got that right) checked us in, and... More

This was never actually a working mission. They built it as a mission, but it was never used as such. Instead of destroying it, they converted it to a hotel. They did keep all the old decor, which is what makes this place so cool. They have a pagoda, a chapel, a buddhist temple, a huge spiral staircase...so awesome. Lots... More

As a lifetime resident of Riverside and parents of a 2 and 4 year old, we jumped at the chance to have an overnight without the little people. Grandma said on 1 condition, that we stayed in town... Boooo.....until we saw a promotion for locals to stay at the Mission Inn. We were married here 17 years ago and stayed... More

I love staying at historic hotels. The charm of the architectural design adds so much to the experience. The Riverside Mission Inn is an outstanding venue to soak up historic charm. I was extremely fortunate and scored a small suite (room 339) located on the top floor in one of the corner turits. Really beautiful and relaxing. The hotel staff... More

Help keep an historic inn alive -- stay here! Although our stay was for just one night, my family had a terrific experience at the Mission Inn. From drinks at the Presidential Lounge to Happy Hour at the wine bar, room service to the pool, and just wandering around the facility, it was a wonderful stay. All members of the... More

The Mission Inn is one of the most unique hotels in the world. It features a a Spanish Gothic style and is so lovely you just have to see it for yourself. The spa services are great, the pool is fantastic and food and entertainment are within walking distance. It is a magical place.

Just wow! I live locally and have visited the MI for events, cocktails and tours but only recently had the opportunity to stay. Got a special room rate due to a conference and was expecting the budget room. The room was very large, including the bathroom and sitting area. Comfy bed, tons of pillows, clean, quiet Staff there can only... More

My mother and I really enjoyed our two night stay over the weekend to the Mission Inn. What a unique, beautiful and historic hotel. I've never seen anything like it. Our only negative was we were disappointed that her disabled room was so far from the elevator. When we requested to move her closer to the elevator, no other disabled... More
