Take the tour!
Pros:

Had an amazing time. Ate at the Mission Inn Restaurant which was lovely. Loved the historic tour! Take the tour because you get to see buildings and artwork you wouldn’t normally see!

Lovely property!
Pros:

Enjoyed my brief stay. It's a beautiful property and I paid quite a bit extra to have a large room on the 4th floor surrounded by fountains and gardens. It's fun to stay in such a historic setting and all the amenities were first class from the bed to the towels and soaps. Also enjoyed my breakfast in the historic dining room and all the staff were friendly and helpful.

Bday Getaway!
Pros:

We had a really good experience, checking in at the Mission Inn with Lava. We had a really nice room on the fourth floor and we loved all the details. I was actually celebrating my birthday in advance and was able to enjoy a massage at Kelly’s Spa, which is my favorite spa. We also enjoyed lunch at Las Campanas and dinner at the Mission Inn restaurant. Overall, we had a good experience and would highly recommend this hotel whether you’re a local or in town visiting.

A nice getaway in Riverside you have to try it!
Pros:

The entire history of the property, the architecture, all the floral arrangements, the staff, the room we were in number 331 had an outside sitting area, which was great!
Even the sheets on the bed were like the sheets when you get a massage in Kelly’s spa, so comfortable very elegant

Cons:

We went to a couple of restaurants/bars inside the Mission Inn after 10 PM just wanting a cup of coffee or hot tea and it was unavailable.

I would stay again but insist on an inside courtyard room.
Pros:

Historical, location.

Cons:

Outside room was very noisy with racing hot rods, subwoofer music, and partying into the early am. The hotel should manage this with law enforcement and city officials. Hotel staff was responsive by changing rooms but it ruined a night’s sleep and there was no financial compensation.
