Town car pickup (24h. notice required) at the airport is a value added perk, they even waited on my delayed flight. Check-in was easy. This place is huge and neat to explore. Holiday decor is all over the place, the lobby is filled with the sights, sounds, and smells of Christmas. The layout is sprawling with very interesting mixed architecture.... more

The hotel is spectacular. Unfortunately, it's one of the only cool landmarks in Riverside...and they know it. They offer a lot of amenities, but you have to PAY for everything...and it's not cheap. Even parking is not free. I would recommend staying at another hotel in the area, and taking a tour of the Mission Inn. Try Dynasty Suites! more

I have lived in India and with ghosts. The MInn becomes otherworldly just by stepping from the street to the sidewalk, all around the Inn both inside and out at least 6 ft from ground. It is like stepping into another dimension and i wish i knew why. No ghosts here. India is the strangest place on earth and this... more

I just cannot believe that some presidents of the United States stayed in this dim hotel. Their service is awful and the workers were not trained at all. They gave us a dark and awkward room, called a "mission room," it is like pretty much a locked jail. The ceiling is very low and the windows has iron bars. More... more

I very impressed with the Mission Inn. I came here with my mom and sister for a spa weekend. The hotel is old, but that added to it's charm. Our room was a suite and it was a good size. There was a late night party that started around 5am and ended at 7am outside our room...the manager gave us... more

Pros: Completely Unique! Incredible architecture! Truly amazing property. If you have the time, you can take the tour for a fee, but we just enjoyed roaming on our own. At one turn we thought we were headed for the gym, but instead found ourselves in an almost "secret" hallway that lead to a beautiful rotunda. We were the only ones... more

This architecturally magical palace is smack in the middle of downtown Riverside. It sits on a city block, across from the public library on one side and a pedestrian mall on the other. We arrived at night and the gardens in front are all lit up with thousands of lights. There's self-parking in a structure on the next block, a... more

My niece was married in the St. Francis Chapel and the reception was in the Music Room on July 24, 2009. Extended family came from all over US. My husband, my 93-yr old mother and I traveled from So Cal. This hotel enchanted me on so many levels. First, they accommodated my mother's handicapped needs in the bathroom and loaned... more

My husband found a great deal on-line which also provided certificates for use in the hotel. We loved our room on the third floor balcony overlooking the pool area. There was a business party at the pool on Saturday night, and construction out of the back windows, but things calmed down early and we always slept very well in comfortable... more
