Mission Inn’s Alhambra suite

This past week, Riverside’s Mission Inn became a South American backdrop for a new television series called ‘Undercovers’ on NBC.
For several days, film crews shot in and around the historic hotel in downtown Riverside, lining nearby streets with production vehicles and cast member trailers. We also spotted a wardrobe trailer and at least one van used as a prop in the episode being filmed.
The new series — co-created and produced by J.J. Abrams of ‘Felicity,’ ‘Alias’ and ‘Lost’ fame as well as the latest Star Trek movie — is set to premiere Wednesday Sept. 22 on NBC. It stars Boris Kodjoe, Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Gerald McRaney.
From NBC:

For former spies Steven and Samantha Bloom, normal life gets a lot more interesting when they’re thrust back into the espionage world.
