Go to my main page for complete details, but basically the San Juan Bautista Mission retains the original setting by an unpaved section of the Camino Real. The Chapel while less ornate than other missions, it is not overly restored, has the original surrounding buildings, and the graveyard isn't filled with so many settler tombstones. The Mission grounds have picnic tables, and the mission museum and gift shop are pleasantly uncrowded.

There are actually two old hotels on the mission plaza one of which is in use, the other of which is part of the California state property.
