  • Rideshare, taxi and nearby Metrolink station access for regional travel.

Choose The Mission Inn for a stay that centers on Riverside’s cultural district and walkable downtown amenities.

  • About 0.8 mi (1.3 km) from Loma Linda University and close to Loma Linda University Medical Center.
  • Set in a practical, car-friendly business area with nearby shopping and services.
  • Short drive to regional attractions; Ontario Intl. Airport (ONT) is the preferred nearby airport for many guests.

Choose Courtyard if proximity to Loma Linda University or the medical center is your priority.

Rooms: Historic suites & varied room types vs standard Marriott rooms

The Mission Inn Hotel & Spa – Rooms

The Mission Inn’s 238 rooms are spread across a National Historic Landmark with several room and suite types.

  • Room types include Deluxe Room, Junior Suite, and themed rooms like Room (Mission) and Room (Raincross).
  • Rooms are within a historic building featuring varied layouts and period details.
  • Check-in begins at 4:00 PM; rollaway beds and cribs are available for a fee.

  • Room types listed exactly include Room, 1 King Bed with Sofa bed; Room, 2 Queen Beds; several mobility/hearing-accessible variants; studio suites and multiple suite options.

  • 24-hour front desk and housekeeping on request; typical Marriott select-service room experience.

Expect consistent, accessible rooms in line with Marriott’s select-service offerings, including several accessible room types.

Dining & drinks: Multiple onsite venues vs one-bistro model

The Mission Inn Hotel & Spa – Dining & drinks

The Mission Inn has multiple restaurants and lounges for varied dining, from a Sunday brunch to a AAA Four-Diamond steakhouse.

  • Mission Inn Restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, dinner and Sunday brunch; reservations recommended.
  • Duane’s/Steakhouse (Duane's Prime Steaks & Seafood) is AAA Four-Diamond awarded with semiformal dinner service.
  • Casual options include Las Campanas (Mexican), Bella Trattoria (Italian), California Lounge and Presidential Lounge.

Pick The Mission Inn if you want multiple on-site dining atmospheres and an elevated steakhouse option.

Courtyard – Dining & drinks

Courtyard centers dining on The Bistro (American) plus a coffee shop/cafe and a bar/lounge.

  • The Bistro offers cooked-to-order breakfasts (fee) daily and American cuisine at dinner.
  • On-site coffee shop/cafe for snacks and grab-and-go items.
  • Bar/lounge available for drinks and light bites.

Courtyard is convenient for simple breakfasts and casual dinners without the breadth of on-site dining at The Mission Inn.

Pools & signature amenity: Heated historic pool & spa vs business-focused facilities

The Mission Inn Hotel & Spa – Pools & signature amenity

The Mission Inn provides a year-round heated outdoor pool and Jacuzzi as part of its full-service resort offering.

  • Heated pool and hot tub open daily from 6:00 AM–11:00 PM; pool access is included for guests and spa visitors.
  • Pool area is part of the hotel’s wellness and spa experience tied to Kelly’s Spa.
  • Pool access is not available before check-in for early arrivals; other hotel areas may be used while waiting for rooms.

The Mission Inn’s heated pool and its integration with the spa are key draws for leisure or relaxation-focused stays.

  • Fitness facilities are available 24 hours at Courtyard for active guests.
  • Pool-related details (size/heating) are not listed on the supplier listing.
