The Mission Inn is always incredible. Such an historic spot! The room I stayed in was great but needed a little upkeep.

The food at the restaurants is great and the vibe can’t be beat. The location is perfect as well!

Hotel is very beautiful and unique. Vallet parking was great. Restaurant waiter was inappropriate at times, front desk people were not very friendly and welcoming.
Over all it’s worth to stay here for the history of its building and pool/spa was wonderful.

Historic charm! This hotel has a level of charm that newer hotels don't. The lobby and other public areas are beautiful. The pool is just right. The staff is nice (but beware that valet can be a longer wait than you want). Note this reservation was for a basic room. And, the room was very basic. The bathroom is outdated - the fixtures in the shower are probably from the 1970's. Maybe a deluxe room has more updates.

Poor WiFi, very thin walls (easily heard noises from our neighbors and outside our window to the street), someone was smoking a cigar down our hallway, very poor service at Duane's with bland chicken dinner.

Beautiful hotel with lots of history, I highly recommend the mission tour. The standard room was disappointing no decor didn’t complement the beauty of the inn. Outside of the room the hotel is amazing. Bar prices were a bit steep however very good cocktails. We skipped dinner at the steakhouse due to Good Friday and decided to try the mission inn restaurant, worst food to say the least. The cipino was the worse I have ever had, lacking seafood served in broth of dirty dish water, the shrimp fettuccine was equally bad, lacking flavor , the noodles appeared to have been broken into 5” pieces.

The room was dated. Sparsely decorated. Felt like old motel. The location was terrible, right above the street. The noise from the street performers was loud and went late. Dined at Duane’s; food was mediocre. Service was meh. Mission Inn is no longer the upscale experience it once was. That was my last visit.

Rooms are cozy and you can feel the history come alive! Beautiful architecture. The staff and amenities are amazing! The pool and jacuzzi are so relaxing and pool is heated! What a luxury. Food is quite pricey, if you have children pack some meals ahead. Otherwise the Mission Inn Restaurant was so delicious for breakfast. Everyone was so hospitable and welcoming from the valet to the housekeeping and front desk at night and day. I’m putting this as my new fave stay-cation get away.

Love the Mission, colour often, it’s very pricey, unfortunately so much room tax, and add-ons, including valet parking nightly, Resort fee and other taxes, but it is a beautiful place to stay! Beautiful big room, plush towels, great bedding, great coffee, and great location of course!

It is a beautiful property. Very old with character.
However, the mold all over the tile in the shower could easily have been cleaned and the soap / shampoo bottles that were so old the labels were half torn off and the soap wouldn’t come out was a bit disappointing.

I truly loved the hotel, and it has everything for everybody.Locally. There was the occasional homeless person, but luckily in riverside, most of them. Our normal and not crazy. Unlike many other cities, but I wish the hotel would focus a little more on the air conditioning issues. And i'm a non maintenance mechanic, and I know exactly what's going on, and it's hard to fix.And it would be extremely costly, so I won't ding them too hard for that.But needless to say it was a rough night of sleep

Such a beautiful & special place! You feel like you're in another era from the past. The staff are friendly and helpful. The restaurants are expensive but food is delicious. Be sure to walk around and explore. We stayed during the month of October and took the haunted tour which was super fun & educational. The rooms are spacious & comfy but we were on the side where our window faced the promenade and it was noisy early in the AM with street music. The pool is huge and we went night swimming which was super cool. Our teen son really loved the place too. Right outside just walk across the street to get some culture & see the great Cheech Marin Art Museum and Riverside Art Museum. There's also a massive antique store just across the street on the corner. We did Valet parking which was super easy. One night we took the car & enjoyed a Drive In movie at the Van Buren Drive in. A fun experience! Be sure to check out Tio's Taco's down the street too. More fun art to see & yummy food. We loved the Mission Inn & have told friends to go stay or even just do a day trip and tour around. They always thank us! It's a wonderful, magical place! We look forward to going back. The only issue was in advance I had ordered chocolate covered strawberries to be in our room when we arrived when I made our reservations, since it was our wedding anniversary but they were not there and never were delivered. Though I made sure I was not charged for them. Give yourself a treat & enjoy a stay here!

Honestly I love coming here for the holiday. The room is always nice. I love all the lights. This time though I had an issue. I checked in was charged at that time and the 100 hold
I checked out the next day, was handed a receipt for the parking and thought everything was good. On new years eve I get an alert that they charged me again. Long story short, I wasnt able to get any help or resolve. Basically wait some business days and it should clear up. So over $700 gone but hey just wait it out. It is Monday the 5th still no money back. Horrible

Room needs a major upgrade, especially the bathroom, which looks like a bathroom you would find in an old house from the 50's, in a tasteless, tacky way. I understand the vibes of the hotel are not modern, but it's supposed to be updated, classic luxury as seen in the common areas.

Our room was facing the mall that had ALL ENTERTAINMENT until 11:00 pm. The hotel did not share this with us. If it had, we would have changed our room. The NOISE was unbearable. The windows in the room are single pane and don't close completely. If you are going to pay a hefty price for a room, it better be worth it. You will hear the TRAIN ALL NIGHT. We got a call at 1:00am asking us to pick up our key at the front desk, I asked for what, they said a room change. We never asked for a ROOM CHANGE. They did comp us breakfast. That was it. It is a beautiful place and the decorations were outstanding. Just be aware of where in the hotel they put you. The Avoid the mexican restaurant, food was below average. The help was really nice and helpful. Just a really bad placement of room for the price, and not being told.

When we checked-in the hotel at 4:00 pm, I asked for dinner reservations at a hotel restaurant that also served vegetarian food. The Clerk happily made a 5:30 pm dinner reservation supposedly accommodating our request.

However, when we arrived at the Mission Inn Restaurant for our reservation - they were not serving dinner meals but it was a ridiculous buffet line jammed with people elbow to elbow and no vegetarian meals!

We were directed to another hotel restaurant that did serve a selection of vegetarian food. The Bella Restuarant said it would be a 30 minute wait with 5 reservations in front of us despite me explaining the hotel screwup. Over an hour later, we gave up to walk down the street to another restaurant.

Then, getting to our room about 7:30 pm, the nasty Festival of Lights street band noise was directly below our third floor room. It was terrible! It forced us to leave the Mission Inn Hotel very upset at 9:45 pm.
