Please Note:The mission Inn hotel doesn't offer any shuttle from/to airport. They direct you to the Super Shuttle company. You can also go with Xpress Shuttle as an alternative.
The Ontario airport (ONT) is the closest and most convenient airport to Riverside (20 miles). Los Angeles airport (LAX) is another option (70 miles) but I would recommend using Ontario airport if you could since the traffic could be an issue from LAX.
