City Guide: Restaurants

There’s never a lack of things to do in Hemet and the surrounding area, which has several notable venues for boating, fishing, golf and shopping. Located in the growing Inland Empire region of Southern California, Hemet is centrally located from the Riverside-San Bernardino metropolitan area, with Orange, San Diego and Los Angeles Counties only an hour away.

For a bird’s-eye view of the San Jacinto Valley, take an invigorating ride aboard a hot air balloon. You’ll be able to see from Joshua Tree National Monument to the Orange County coast, while floating high about the surrounding chaparral. If golf is your passion, several public courses and country clubs can be found nearby.

The Quality Inn Hemet Hotel is also conveniently located near the Diamond Valley Lake and the Lake Perris Recreational Area, beckoning visitors from far and wide for family fun, including bass fishing, water skiing and boating.

For something out of the ordinary, the hotel is near Hemet Ryan Airport, which is located three miles southwest of the city. The airport is the main base of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CDF), the state agency in charge of putting out forest fires. It is also used for civilian purposes, such flying private fixed-wing aircraft and launching glider planes. Lessons are available.

The hotel is also near Mt. San Jacinto College, which has an excellent two-year school, and outstanding academic and athletic programs.

If you are looking for a delightful nighttime adventure, the hotel is near the Soboba Indian Casino, which has over 2,000 video gaming machines and slots, as well as bingo and poker. The 74,000 square foot casino also has excellent restaurants, including the Soboda Steakhouse.
