The Mission Inn Hotel & Spa

Beautiful hotel and grounds. Service for a hotel of this caliber very poor. Front desk people just stood there, I had to ask to be helped. Valet(only parking there is ) was horrific- it took 20 min. to get our car every time. Then you could not get in or out of the entrance, again in a hotel of this stature and price range, I expect them to be more organized. No one around at any time to complain to.

The place is old. I knew going into the trip that this was an historical place but it just should not be a hotel. The lobby smells, it feels musty and like it hasn’t had a good cleaning...my partner and I preferred staying in one night than leaving our room to avoid the lobby - that’s how uncomfortable it made us. The room was spacious and clean - it didn’t smell like the lobby thank god. The hotel did send cupcakes when we checked in which was cute. The room overall is dated, nothing to react to - pretty standard. The bathroom could use some attention, very dark in the shower. There were crickets in our room...that was not fun to try and sleep/look for them! Service and front desk were very nice and quick - check in and check out was seamless. I am not sure why the hotel rate was so high I guess since there isn’t another hotel in riverside, the experience just isn’t for me.

We were disappointed that the pool was closed during our stay. It was very hot day and we had planned enjoy the pool, but it was drained and the jackhammer noise drove us away. There was no notice of this.

Beautiful Spanish decor and delicious food.

THE ROOM WAS VERY NICE AND WE ENJOYED THE SUSHI
