This is a lovely hotel, but guest services could be better. First, there is a $35 resort fee which is redeemable against food. I was not aware of this so was forced to pay the resort fee without getting the full benefits. 2. There is a spa on site but as a hotel guest, we are unable to use the facilities unless we book a spa service. The reason I stay at a nice hotel with nice facilities is because I think I will be allowed access. So to be refused, particularly as I was staying 6 nights, was quite frustrating. Overall, nice hotel but there are no perks.

What a Wonderful Getaway! Inn at tht Mission is the Perfect Place to come to Relax, Rejuvenate, and Reinvigorate! These are my new "3 R's" since I have Retired. I took the Train from Chatworth to the San Juan Capistrano Station. I was picked up by Liu (professional and friendly) in the Inn's Adorable and Cool Moke. Within minutes I arrived at the Beautiful Property. I was Warmly Greeted and taken Good Care Of by Ahja. She went out of her way to make me feel Welcome and Very Special. My Room was Superb and Well Appointed. The Grounds are Appealing, and the Location is Perfect! Before I dined at Ysidora Restaurant, I participated in The Olive Oil Tasting! I had a Yummy Lunch with Excellent Service by Jennifer, and a Delicious Dinner with Outstanding service provided by Sabrina, Meredith, and Sophia! I had the pleasure of meeting Marta and she truly models Exemplary Customer Service. I checked out a Beach Cruiser and went on a short, pleasant ride. Then I returned and enjoyed the Pool and Jacuzzi. The next day I walked to the Mission and used my Ticket, provided by the Inn, to enter. It was a lovely day and a nice experience. When it was time to go Morgan and Peter (both were professional and friendly) made sure that I got a ride in the Inn's Moke to the Train Station. It was Truly a Magical Experience and one that I Highly Recommend!

Pros: The hotel is immaculate and looks very new. The decor is beautiful and a perfect balance of fresh and modern, and cozy and traditional, befitting the area. The hotel offer perks that come with the destination fee: free Mission entry, f&b credit BUT make sure you ask for these or you will likely miss out! The hotel gave us complimentary mini champagne for our anniversary. Cons: Expedia does not show up to date destination fee (was $35 not $25) and all taxes that are added to your room. While most staff were great, the barman at the restaurant was awful - unfriendly and sub par service. The complimentary 'olive oil tasting' was a joke - one tiny bit of bread with some oil dripped on top (with no info about it) - but at least it was free! The valet parking seemed expensive at $45 per night - no self park option was available.

The shower featured clumps of human hair stuck to the walls at head height which I had to clean up when I stepped in at 6.15. Possibly above eye level for the housekeeper but utterly disgusting nonetheless. Pool is small and has been colonised by very young children with inflatables. I’m not a curmudgeon but it made an end of day dip impossible for adults. Outside seating is tired. Inside furnishings were good. Service at the valet, bar and front desk excellent… except for diy housekeeping in the bathroom. Hotel food adequate but not excellent. Several decent alternatives near by bloom, mayfield and ciao pasta. Overpriced by c. 150 in my opinion.

We stayed at this hotel for a couple’s weekend getaway even though we live only 15 minutes away. One thing to know is that the rooms are much smaller than other Marriott autograph collection properties. We chose a deluxe king room with balcony which literally points toward the parking lot and with night time freeway noise. If you are expecting to come to a resort with a comfortable and large room this is not the property you are looking for. On the positive side, the staff and guest services people are all top notch and the property very clean and tidy. The area couldn’t be better as you are within walking distance of excellent restaurants and activities. Just beware of the room size you choose!

Overall a great experience staying at this hotel. Pricey but it's right in the center of everything and the roomi had was spectacular. They add a $40 traveling fee but also give you the same amount in credit in their restaurants so it balances out. My biggest complaint was that it's hard to get reception inside the building and they don't provide free Wi-Fi.

Typical Marriott. They nickel and dime. They still charge for internet! Valet parking was mandatory. Water for the shower was tepid. The phone didn't work.

Later had dinner at then hotel restaurant and the food was very well presented, staff was great and we enjoyed our time. We hope to stay longer next time. Its location is perfect in relation to the little town shops, its literally walking distance to many things just outside the driveway of the hotel. We would recommend this hotel to anyone wanting a fantastic hotel and fun getaway.
