The Mission Inn is a beautiful historic property with stunning architecture and captivating charm. I absolutely loved exploring the unique nooks and crannies, which added a magical feel to my stay.

My room was comfortable with charming features, but I expected more considering the price. The layout was a bit awkward, lacking ample seating in the main area, and the bathroom facilities were a tad small. I found a chapstick on the floor, which wasn’t ideal.

Service

The Mission Inn boasts stunning architecture and a unique historical charm that adds to its character. While my experience with the service mixed—some staff were friendly and professional while others fell short—overall, the dining and pathways through the beautiful grounds made the stay enjoyable. Unfortunately, the inconsistency in service and my previous reservation issue left a sour taste. However, the beautiful décor and engaging history remain standout features.

The service was charming, with several staff members standing out for going the extra mile, making my stay all the more memorable. However, the noise from the air conditioning in my room was a bit distracting, and I found the polyester sheets uncomfortable.
