Inn at the Mission San Juan Capistrano Autograph Collection by Marriott

Great experience but rooms are a bit small and seem dated. I get the ambiance of the mission and all but the community areas are much more modern. The resort fee provides much more than most every other resort anywhere. Valet parking is required and ridiculously high at $55 per night in addition to the resort fee of $45.

Make sure you bring your reservation number with you or else you’ll get turned away. It would have been nice if they offered some assistance or advice as to how to obtain the number but alas, I figured it out on my own. On the upside, the property was beautiful & the room was very nice. The employees were all very nice. The room was very quiet which was great for sleeping. Room service was timely…unfortunately the food was cold, they did not include any utensils and the chef apparently used the same knife & cutting board to cut onions AND then cut the fruit, which is a culinary no no. Onion flavored bananas & strawberries are not my fav :-/

Room was lovely, great size, comfy beds. Poor lighting overall. Service for food was really poor, cold food, no spoons for sugar or cream, not anticipating needs, we asked for everything, wine great and nice pour but we'll drinks were very watery. Location was great. Could walk most anywhere, however being on the "mission view" side was both noisy from street traffic and property noise (started mowing and blowing at 7:15 am on a Saturday.)
