Quick Verdict: The Mission Inn Hotel & Spa vs Homewood Suites

When The Mission Inn Hotel & Spa wins: choose The Mission Inn if you want a property that is itself a destination — historic architecture and museum-like public spaces, several distinct on-site restaurants and lounges, a full-service spa (Kelly’s Spa) and larger wedding/meeting venues.

When Homewood Suites wins: choose Homewood Suites By Hilton San Bernardino if you need a kitchen-equipped studio or one-bedroom-style suite, free weekday buffet breakfast, basic meeting space and a practical, consistent extended-stay experience close to medical campuses and regional highways.

Bottom line: pick The Mission Inn for short stays centered on history, dining and on-site spa services; pick Homewood Suites for longer stays or when an in-room kitchen and predictable Hilton extended-stay amenities matter more than onsite luxury and historic character.

Location: downtown Riverside vs Valley View San Bernardino

The Mission Inn Hotel & Spa – Location

The Mission Inn sits on Mission Inn Avenue in historic downtown Riverside within easy walking distance of local museums and performance venues.

  • Steps from Riverside Metropolitan Museum, California Museum of Photography and Fox Performing Arts Center
  • Walkable downtown attractions, shopping and restaurants right outside the hotel
  • About 0.5 mile to the Riverside-Downtown Metrolink station and short drives to regional highways

Choose The Mission Inn for a stay that’s integrated into Riverside’s cultural and civic core.

Homewood Suites – Location

Homewood Suites is located on East Hospitality Lane in the Valley View area of San Bernardino, close to Loma Linda University and medical centers.

  • Within a short drive of Loma Linda University and Loma Linda University Medical Center
  • Near Inland Center Mall, San Manuel Stadium and local golf and recreation
  • Preferred airport listed as Ontario Intl. Airport (ONT); San Bernardino Intl. is nearer but has limited commercial service

Pick Homewood Suites if proximity to medical campuses or regional highway access is a priority.

Rooms: historic guest rooms vs kitchen-equipped suites

The Mission Inn Hotel & Spa – Rooms

The Mission Inn offers 238 guest rooms across a variety of historic room types and a small set of suites.

  • Room types include Deluxe Room, Junior Suite and named historic rooms (Mission, Raincross, Glenwood)
  • Rooms reflect the property’s historic architecture and décor
  • Rollaway beds and cribs are available for a fee; resort fee applies and covers fitness and pool access, housekeeping and some in-room amenities

The Mission Inn’s rooms suit travelers seeking historic character and hotel services rather than in-room kitchens.

Homewood Suites – Rooms

Homewood Suites provides studio and one-bedroom suite layouts, all with kitchen facilities and sofa beds.

  • Room types include Studio Suite, Suite and 1 Bedroom Suite variations (many with Kitchen listed explicitly)
  • In-room kitchens with full-sized refrigerators/freezers, stovetops, microwaves and cookware
  • Sofa beds in all rooms and a 42-inch TV; free WiFi in public areas and complimentary weekday buffet breakfast

Homewood Suites is better for longer stays, cooking in-room and extra space.

Dining & drinks: on-site fine and casual dining vs grab-and-go

The Mission Inn Hotel & Spa – Dining & drinks

Dining at The Mission Inn is a major part of the experience, with multiple distinct restaurants and lounges.

  • Mission Inn Restaurant (breakfast, lunch, dinner and Sunday brunch) and Duane’s/Steakhouse (AAA Four-Diamond recipient) are signature outlets
  • Additional choices include Bella Trattoria, Las Campanas, California Lounge, Presidential Lounge, Casey’s Cupcakes and Afternoon Tea
  • Breakfast is available for a fee; reservations recommended for some venues and Sunday Brunch is a ticketed event

Choose The Mission Inn when varied on-site dining and a formal steakhouse or brunch are priorities.

Homewood Suites – Dining & drinks

Homewood Suites focuses on extended-stay convenience rather than hotel fine dining.

  • Grocery/convenience store on site for grab-and-go supplies
  • Complimentary buffet breakfast (weekday hours stated) helps reduce dining costs for longer stays
  • No published signature restaurants or full-service bars on the supplier listing

Homewood Suites is practical for guests who plan to cook in-room or use simple on-site dining options.

Pools & the property’s signature amenity

The Mission Inn Hotel & Spa – Pools & the property’s signature amenity

The Mission Inn’s heated outdoor pool, Jacuzzi and historic public spaces are central amenities for guests and spa visitors.

  • Year-round heated outdoor pool and hot tub open daily 6:00 AM–11:00 PM
  • Spa guests get access to the pool, steam room and relaxation lounges
  • Pool access is subject to check-in rules (no pool use before check-in for overnight guests)

The Mission Inn pairs its pool with spa facilities and a historic setting — more of a destination amenity than a fitness-only pool.

Homewood Suites – Pools & the property’s signature amenity

Homewood Suites provides practical recreational amenities for longer stays.

  • Outdoor pool and hot tub listed; pool hours 7:00 AM–10:00 PM
  • 24-hour fitness center for guests who want to keep up workouts
  • Barbecue grills and outdoor gathering spaces are available

Homewood Suites’ pool and fitness offerings support everyday comfort and longer-stay routines.

Wellness & nightlife: spa services vs basic fitness and nearby options

The Mission Inn Hotel & Spa – Wellness & nightlife

Wellness at The Mission Inn centers on Kelly’s Spa plus spa-adjacent facilities and guided tours.

  • Kelly’s Spa (12 treatment rooms, Roman baths, signature Fountain of Youth and membership options)
  • Fitness center open 6:00 AM–11:00 PM and spa access for day visitors with reservations
  • On-site lounges and formal bars (California Lounge, Presidential Lounge) for evening drinks

The Mission Inn is the stronger pick if you plan to book spa treatments and enjoy hotel bars in a historic setting.

Homewood Suites – Wellness & nightlife

Homewood Suites focuses on basic wellness for guests on longer stays.

  • 24-hour fitness facilities and accessible pool features
  • No on-site full-service spa published; spa treatments would require an off-site visit
  • Nearby retail and casual dining provide evening options within a short drive

Pick Homewood Suites when you want reliable fitness facilities and local dining rather than hotel spa services.
