Travel Guide

Riverside
Monument Peak Panorama
Large Open Field in Hemet, Riverside County
One of my favorite places at the Mission Inn is a bit hard to find. It's near the back of the property where there's a several story open atrium with a gorgeous spiral staircase that seems to float in mid-air. It's absolutely stunning to see in person.

The staff didn't spell out all the charges for the "amenities", even if you didn't use any of them, you still have to pay over $35 plus taxes a night for them above your room cost. It was fine for one time, but I probably won't stay again. The history of the hotel is wonderful.
