The Mission Inn

California · USA · Hotel

Catacombs run beneath this Riverside hotel toward Mount Rubidoux. They are closed now.

The Mission Inn at Riverside, California is a grand and expensive hotel with an outdoor pool, a fitness centre, and something rather older underneath it.

Catacombs run beneath the building, heading in the direction of Mount Rubidoux. They are closed to guests now.

The account a current employee recalls concerns an older gentleman who was given a room on one of the upper storeys of the hotel.

The Mission Inn was built up over decades by an owner who kept adding to it, and the result is a building of unexpected staircases, sealed doors and spaces that do not connect to anything. Very few American hotels have anything genuinely resembling catacombs beneath them.

It is a working luxury hotel and the reports come from staff and from guests paying a great deal for the privilege.
