Mission Inn

Mission Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Our stay was wonderful. Besides an odd oder in the bathroom, the room was clean and temperature controlled. Breakfast was exactly as advertised. Location was perfect. We were no more than 10 to 15 minutes from the places on our itinerary. Plenty of free parking! Plenty of 4-5 star restaurants within 10 miles of the hotel."
