Historic RivCo Inn Closes Due To Water Issue

RIVERSIDE, CA — The Historic Mission Inn Hotel & Spa announced Wednesday that it will close temporarily amid a water issue, the hotel stated on its Facebook page.

The luxurious, decades-old Inn said an "unforeseen" issue with its boiler system requires immediate attention. The hotel is expected to reopen on Friday.

“It is an older hotel and no matter how rigorous maintenance is, these things are bound to happen,” Janice Penner, executive director of the Riverside Downtown Partnership, told The Press Enterprise.

Guests who had reservations will be contacted to arrange either alternative accommodations or the hotel will reschedule their stay, according to the post.

"We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and deeply appreciate your understanding, patience, and continued support as we work to ensure The Mission Inn remains the iconic and welcoming destination you know and love," the hotel wrote.

The boutique inn, with Mission Revival Style architecture, boasts a rich history and first became a hotel in 1876. It became a National Historic Landmark on May 5, 1977, and was restored to become modern hotel in 1985.
