"Destination: Mission Inn, Riverside, CA"
It's no secret that the Mission Inn in Riverside, CA is one of my family's favorite destinations. Whether it's just for an afternoon of strolling or a weekend getaway, this beautiful and historic location has much to offer people of all ages.
In the beautiful Riverside area, the Mission Inn has blossomed into an internationally renowned retreat. The list of famous guests continues to this day. Noted singers, performers, authors, actors, political persons and Presidents have signed their names to the proverbial Guest Book.
The Mission Inn Museum offers a walking tour of the grounds each day. If you're new to the Inn, even just for a day, I strongly suggest taking the tour. This was our first activity immediately after checking our bags. It began with an introduction to the museum/gift shop and then a tour around and through the immense Inn.
Attached to the Inn are Kelly's Boutique, Kelly's Spa (which makes the entrance smell like wonderfully refreshing eucalyptus oils), and the award-winning original Casey's Cupcakes. Each offers a delightful experience and are always on my Must-See/Smell/Do list.
While there's more than enough to keep a person peacefully occupied at the Mission Inn, stepping just off the property leads to even more activity. The University of Riverside's Photography Museum offers exhibits by locals and current students. The Antiques Mall right across the street provides four levels of consignment goods ranging from penny papers to the most expensive dishes. The Riverside Farmers Market, Fox Performing Arts Center, March Air Field Museum, University Botanic Gardens, golfing, eating and shopping are all within a walk or short drive from the Mission Inn.
But what I really appreciate about the Mission Inn is that I never feel like a tourist there. I feel valued. It doesn't matter if I'm reserving the cheapest room or Keeper of the Inn Suite: the Mission Inn staff is always courteous, smiling, friendly, helpful, and appreciative. The grounds are always clean. And the food is always memorable. From a small bite of room service to the Veal Lasagna at the Bella Trattoria on the corner to the sweet desserts of Casey's Cupcakes to the individual Keurig coffee personally blended in our rooms.
