Made last minute reservation for single king-bed room as we arrived in Riverside for show at the Fox Performing Arts center.
Although there were significantly cheaper rooms available at other nearby hotels, we had never stayed at the historic Mission Inn, only 2 blocks away from the Fox Performing Arts center.
Valet parking was very friendly, easy & accommodating.
Front Desk check-in was a breeze & we followed their suggestion to lunch at the hotel's Mexican restaurant. Ivan was our waiter. He was charming, friendly & made excellent menu suggestions & pairings.
The room was simple (a bit monastic), but it was clean, furnished with period appropriate, dresser, desk, chair & accent table. For amenities, the room had hair dryer, 2 luxurious terry-cloth bath robes & slippers, traditional bathroom sundries, big screen TV, alarm clock, electronic device charging station, mini-refrigerator, iron/ ironning-board, safe, small self service mini-bar & snacks, as well as adjustable room thermostat.
The room also had a large openable window with blackout curtains & a view of an adjacent public square.
Although a room service menu was provided, the hotel does not have food service 24/7.
Breakfast at another of the hotel's in-house restaurants was pretty nice. The service attention was excellent. Although the waffle was soft & chewy, the fresh fruit side, eggs & beverages were perfectly prepared & nicely presented.
Check-out was simple & valets brought our car quickly. Worth the $.
