A dreamlike place!
Pros:

Staying at the hotel is like living in a castle—you can really feel it and even smell it; I loved it.

Cons:

I don't think I got the room I had booked; it faced the street—which wasn't bad at all—but I'm almost certain I wasn't given the right room. It certainly bore no resemblance to the photo shown on Booking. None at all!

Like stepping into the past
Pros:

In my lifetime the Mission Inn has been threatened with demolition twice. It is absolutely beautiful and well-preserved; we are so lucky to be able to stay there. The staff is very accommodating.

Nothing.

Sublime hôtel historique haut de gamme
Pros:

Hôtel absolument sublime, haut de gamme, historique, avec un cachet dont très peu d’autres établissements peuvent se vanter. Chaque recoin de l’hôtel est charmant, tant qu’il est difficile de le quitter : on voudrait tellement prolonger le séjour !

time machine to the past

Emotions were stirred when we saw this hotel. We really liked this location, the essence of the Middle Ages did not leave us during our entire stay. Thank you for such an atmosphere

Beautiful and Historic
Pros:

It’s beautiful and staff was great!

Cons:

This is tricky because I know and understand it is a historic hotel, but my room specifically smelled musty/moldy. The sink faucet made a weird sound and the shower pressure was almost nonexistent.
