Disappointed 😞

I had high expectations as I've never stayed at the hotel before but had enjoyed the restaurants and spa in the past. The rooms are large and comfortably space however there was a visible stain on the rug and alsi the ceiling in the shower was not clean. The housekeeping woke jecup daily at 8am even though i had the do not disturb sign on the handle. I ordered room service for breakfast 3 times and I can honestly say the cooks did not prepare my breakfasts properly. I sent them back each time mostly not eaten because it was so bad. In my opinion if you can't prepare breakfast you do not belong in the kitchen. I went to the pool and i havev to say I was very disappointed in the condition of the pool area. The pool really need a good pressure wash and i was hitten up by mosquitoes all over my ankles. Other guests complained about the bites as well. Overall, the Mission Inn has definitely fallen off in my opinion. I hope they can get things together.

Around 3 am we were woken up because someone was power washing right outside our window, we called front desk to let them know but nothing changed. It went on for about an hour. We weren’t able to fall asleep until after 4am. Such an unfortunate experience because we were only there for 1 night and that was frustrating. I wish the hotel would have compensated us some of our room fair. But they just said they would let management know.

Just ok, no attention to detail

The room was just ok, nothing special. There were no in-room dining menus and no map as to where the ice machine/elevators were. No data on what was available, coffee shops? Restaurants? Desserts? Missing stuff from the mini-bar, hope I don’t get charged!

Wonderful old Inn. Our second stay here. Lots of history. Lots of stuff not working this time though. One elevator of two was out. The heater on the pool. The drain in our sink. Needs a heavy dose of routine maintenance.

The Mission Inn in Riverside is a stunning and historic property with truly unique rooms. I stayed for a wedding and loved the charm, especially the beautiful pool and the cozy Presidents Lounge. Room service was excellent. While the property could use some TLC and a few in our group had AC issues, the overall experience was memorable and worth it.

Reserved balcony room, arrived to a non balcony room.call the front and was told itd be "very tough" to change my room. Ok. Getti"ng readu for a wedding, enter the bathroom, dirty towels on the floor. Called to ask for towels, they sent some up, tried to tip, she refused it. Asked her for a trash can (room did not have one), she seemed in disbelief but went and got us one. Refused tip again. Unfortunately after about 30 mins i realized the ac wasnt working, i was sweating profusely. Went to the bathroom to wash up, and there was a full puddle of water mid floor. Look up, ceiling has a 'trap door' that was fully dripping water down non stop. Looked unsafe, unstable, and then we find a flashlight laying on top of the bathroom door, pointing toward the leaky ceiling. Surmised the hotel already knew of the leak and had someone trying to fix it, before deciding it was good enough to throw 2 guests who spent their only 2 day getaway they've been able to take in 2 years, at their resort. Really disappointing. Especially for the cost. Outside the rooms wasel cool though . Ty!
