Hotel Accommodations
The 2024 WACSB Deans Conference will be held at the Historic Mission Inn in Downtown Riverside. Founded in 1876 as an adobe boarding house, it became a full-service hotel in the early 1900’s. The design incorporates architectural features from more than 20 different California missions. The original owner, Frank Miller, filled the hotel with valuable items from across the globe including artwork, furniture, and religious relics. The inn is a treasure trove of antiques and history.
Featuring four restaurants, two lounges, and a luxury spa, there is something for everyone!
After September 12, rooms and rates will depend on hotel availability. Please call the Mission Inn reservations desk directly at 951-784-0300 and mention that you are with the WACSB 2024 conference.
If you would like to arrive earlier than October 4th or stay beyond October 8th, please call the Mission Inn reservations desk, tell them you are with UC Riverside, and ask for the University rate for the extra days ($209 for deluxe rooms).
