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.

Hotel is very beautiful and unique. Vallet parking was great. Restaurant waiter was inappropriate at times, front desk people were not very friendly and welcoming. Over all it’s worth to stay here for the history of its building and pool/spa was wonderful.

I wish I would have been told prior to booking that their pool and spa was under construction. That was the whole point of my booking was so I could use the pool and spa. Let was a waste of a booking.
