Top Moore Creek Wetland Nature Preserve Hotel Reviews

Mission Inn

Mission Inn

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed one night at the Mission Inn from Sunday, July 26 to Monday, July 27, 2026. The check-in and check-out were smooth. Very nice and friendly people. Our room was clean ad spacious. We booked a room with two Quinn beds, but we good a room with two double beds, but it was not a problem. The breakfast was good! They had yogurts, a choice of 3 different juices, coffee, milk, few options of serial, boiled eggs, fruits, hot oatmeal, beagles and everything that goes with it. We were able to make waffles, and they had everything that goes with that too. We don't like to search for breakfast in the morning so we were happy with those options. We do recommend this hotel! The only negative thing that the garbage truck came at 6:50 am in the morning and wake us up, but it doesn't apply to the property. We slept with an open window (enjoyed nice cool breeze!) so it probably made a difference."
