This is a very Beautiful hotel with lots of charm and ambiance. Moreover, there were quite a few restaurants and bars within the hotel. I found the staff to be very welcoming, especially the manager of one of the restaurants named Bruno. He was a top notch!
The amenities were very nice and I was impressed with the size of the pool and cabana area.
Walk ability:
The surrounding areas offered an authentic flare. There were lots out bars and restaurants with live musicians playing nearby. In addition to that, there are a few museums anyone would love to check out.
The negatives were the lack of authentic Latin art in my room. Even though the air conditioners worked just fine, adding ceiling fans in the rooms to create more circulation would be a plus.
I would definitely come back and stay at this hotel during the holidays!

It is a beautiful Mission hotel. All restaurants were amazing. Ambiance in each restaurant was gorgeous. Lining table cloths, fancy china, lots of greenery. ALL STAFF AND SERVERS, went over and above in all their services. The Mission Inn is very old, dates back to late 1800’s, but is magnificently kept up and unique and beautiful. Would recommend for a special date night or great food.

First, although advertised as a resort and spa, its just a fancy iconic hotel in the middle of a dodgy bar district.
Second, the drain in the room bubbled and belched gas whenever a room above flushed.
Third, dirty food dishes and food remains from room service sat in the hallways untouched for the duration of our stay.
Fourth, check in was way to long (waited 10 minutes for 2 agents to check in one petson)
And lastly, service at the restaurants was very slow, and everything including the bar shut down at 10.
I would not stay there again.
