Quick Verdict: The Mission Inn Hotel & Spa vs Residence Inn

When The Mission Inn Hotel & Spa wins: choose the Mission Inn if you value historic architecture, on-site museum/tours, several distinct restaurants and a full-service spa for treatments and thermal facilities.

When Residence Inn wins: pick Residence Inn if you need an extended-stay layout (studio and multi-bed suites with refrigerators/microwaves), complimentary continental breakfast, laundry facilities and 24-hour fitness access at a straightforward price point.

Bottom line: both support Inland Empire travel needs — Mission Inn is the experiential, downtown choice with a spa and dining program; Residence Inn is the practical extended-stay option for longer visits or budget-conscious travelers who want suite comforts.

Location: Downtown Riverside vs Redlands suburb

The Mission Inn Hotel & Spa – Location

The Mission Inn sits on Mission Inn Avenue in Historic Downtown Riverside, immediately adjacent to museums and the Fox Performing Arts Center.

  • Within a few minutes' walk of the Riverside Metropolitan Museum, California Museum of Photography and Riverside Art Museum.
  • Walkable downtown setting with nearby restaurants, shops and cultural attractions; convention center is close by.
  • Address: 3649 Mission Inn Ave, Riverside, CA 92501.

Pick Mission Inn for a stay focused on downtown sightseeing, museums and walkable cultural attractions.

Residence Inn – Location

Residence Inn by Marriott Loma Linda Redlands is located in northwest Redlands with convenient road access to local universities and medical centers.

  • Within a 10-minute drive of University of Redlands and Loma Linda University Medical Center (highlighted by the supplier listing).
  • Near local shopping like Mountain Grove Shopping Center and regional attractions; not a downtown, walkable museum district.
  • Address: 27351 San Bernardino Avenue, Redlands, CA 92374.

Choose Residence Inn for proximity to the University of Redlands, medical centers and longer-stay convenience.

Rooms: Historic rooms & suites vs extended-stay suites

The Mission Inn Hotel & Spa – Rooms

The Mission Inn offers a mix of traditional rooms and suites in a historic landmark setting.

  • 238 rooms across 5 floors with varied room types (Deluxe Room, Junior Suite, named historic rooms like 'Mission' and 'Raincross').
  • Rooms reflect the hotel's historic architecture and on-site museum character.
  • Rollaway beds and cribs available for a fee; check-in age minimum is 18 (guest responsible for check-in).

Mission Inn rooms suit guests who want character and historic detail rather than apartment-style kitchens.

Residence Inn – Rooms

Residence Inn’s rooms are studio and multi-bed suites designed for extended stays with kitchenettes.

  • Room types include Studio Suite, 1 King Bed with Sofa bed, Suite, Multiple Beds (2 Queen Beds and 1 Double Sofa Bed), 2-Bedroom Suites and accessible variants.
  • All rooms are equipped with refrigerators and microwaves (per supplier listing) and complimentary WiFi.
  • Housekeeping available on request; laundry facilities and long-stay conveniences on site.

Residence Inn is the practical choice for guests who want in-room kitchen facilities and flexible housekeeping during longer stays.

Dining & drinks: Multiple signature venues vs simple, practical options

The Mission Inn Hotel & Spa – Dining & drinks

The Mission Inn provides several full-service restaurants and lounges on property.

  • Dining venues include Mission Inn Restaurant, Duane's Prime Steaks & Seafood (AAA Four-Diamond recipient), Las Campanas, Bella Trattoria, California Lounge and Presidential Lounge.
  • Mission Inn Restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, dinner and a Sunday brunch; reservations recommended for signature venues.
  • Afternoon Tea and a cupcake shop (Casey's Cupcakes) are also listed on site.

Mission Inn is better for guests who want varied on-site dining and a formal steakhouse experience.

Residence Inn – Dining & drinks

Residence Inn focuses on breakfast and practical dining rather than multiple signature restaurants.

  • Complimentary continental/full breakfast is offered daily (free breakfast and free full breakfast in amenities).
  • A grocery/convenience store on site covers basic food needs; complimentary receptions on select days.
  • No multi-venue, full-service restaurant program is listed in the supplier information.

Residence Inn suits travelers who prefer complimentary breakfast and self-catering basics over formal on-site dining.

Pools & signature amenity: Heated resort pool and spa vs practical pool

The Mission Inn Hotel & Spa – Pools & signature amenity

The Mission Inn pairs a year-round heated outdoor pool and Jacuzzi with a full-service spa (Kelly’s Spa).

  • Heated outdoor pool and hot tub open daily from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM; pool access is part of spa visits and resort amenities.
  • Kelly’s Spa offers Roman baths, eucalyptus steam room, 12 treatment rooms and signature packages (Fountain of Youth, Lavender Couples Retreat).
  • Spa is open to both hotel guests and day visitors; spa bookings available by phone or online.

  • Number of outdoor pools: 1; the pool is wheelchair-accessible per the supplier listing.
  • 24-hour fitness facilities are available.
  • Pool and fitness facilities align with the extended-stay, self-service focus of the property.

Wellness & nightlife: Spa and historic lounges vs fitness and community spaces

The Mission Inn Hotel & Spa – Wellness & nightlife

Mission Inn centers wellness around Kelly’s Spa and historic lounges for evening drinks or quiet time.

  • Kelly’s Spa includes treatment rooms, therapeutic baths, memberships and spa boutique products (PALLAS).
  • Two lounges (California Lounge and Presidential Lounge) provide cocktail service and evening atmosphere; Presidential Lounge honors presidential visitors.
  • Fitness center open daily 6:00 AM–11:00 PM and resort fee covers fitness/pool access.

Mission Inn works for guests who want spa treatments plus more formal evening lounge options in a historic setting.

Residence Inn – Wellness & nightlife

Residence Inn emphasizes 24-hour fitness and community-style spaces rather than a full-service spa or formal nightlife.

  • 24-hour fitness center and wheelchair-accessible fitness facilities are listed.
  • Complimentary receptions on select days offer light socializing; no spa or multiple bars are listed.
  • Business/guest interaction spaces and a rooftop garden are noted among amenities.
