Fodor's Review:

This grand Spanish colonial-era hotel was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1977. Most standard rooms have an early-Spanish California look, with Mission-style artwork and dark wooden headboards. Dining is a rewarding experience, whether you choose the grand Duane's Steakhouse ($$-$$$$), famed for its maple-leaf duck breast and osso buco; Las Campanas ($-$$), where Mexican-style carnitas (shredded pork) are served in a pool of mole negro (a savory chili-and-chocolate-based sauce); or the Mission Inn Restaurant ($-$$), where you can relax next to a bubbling fountain on the Spanish patio. In 2007, the resort welcomed a fourth restaurant, Bella Trattoria, which serves southern Italian fare like wood-fired pizzas and grilled paninis. Sunday brunch here is excellent, though pricey, say locals. Pros: Fascinating historical site, clean rooms, great restaurants, on-site spa. Cons: Train noise can be deafening at night.

To fully understand the historical significance of this place and to marvel at its many treasures, you must take the complimentary property tour. Hopefully, it'll be one of the days they take you to the St. Francis Chapel. Every corner of this place is amazing.
