We decided to stay at the Madonna inn for a night as we were driving down the coast. We were on our honeymoon and had booked the romance room. Loved the room, carpets were soooo thick and soft, had a heated toilet seat and the room was very spacious. We had a complimentary bottle of bubbly as we were on... More

We were vacationing in San Luis Obispo. We couldn't book the Madonna Inn through Orbitz. So we only spent one night here but it was so nice. We stayed in the Madonna suite all done in reds, pinks, crystal, with rock wall water fall shower, cool sink, and fireplace. Our adjoining room was the gypsy room which also had a... More

Spent one night at the Madonna Inn for an antique show at the Madonna Convention Center next door. The room was built like a cave out of natural rock. The shower was just like going into a cave and the water for the bathroom sink traveled down a spiral rock trough into the sink with out splashing a drop. Had... More

Stayed 2 nights to visit our daughter that attends Cal Poly SLO. Picked the Desert Sands room. Checked was service was good. Room initially seemed okay. Lighting in bathroom is not very good. Toilet paper is the cheapest possible. Honestly, the TP in our daughter's dorm is better. Skipped their restaurants due to sketchy reviews. The hotel is kind of... More

I made reservations months in advance and my children poured over the website picking just the right room. They settled on the Jungle Room. My experience when making the reservation was very positive and we all looked forward to our visit. As our trip drew closer it was necessary for me to adjust our dates. Again I had a positive...

This hotel/motel is definitely still in the 20th century - like 1970s but in a fun way. Each room is themed so the fellas would be better off choosing the cave than the pink room ! Worth visiting/staying for something different but it does have a little bit of a tired feel. Still - the quirkiness factor makes up for... More

It would have been fun just for a kitschy night - this really is a like a Motel 6 dressed up in lots of kitsch - had it not been for the 5am wake up with a half hour of "BOOM BOOM BOOM" outside the wall directly behind our bed. I had to call the front desk 3 times before... More

We had numerous recommendations to visit this hotel but nothing could prepare us for this experience. Each room has a different theme and we stayed in the cave room which was delightful. We showered in an open cave with water trickling down the rock face which was a unique experience.The hardest part was choosing a room. The restaurant's decor is... More

We had heard about the unique and different decor of this inn/restaurant and decided to take a coffee break during our drive from LA to SFO to check out the much talked about interiors of this place, although we couldn't access the actual hotel rooms,even the restaurant is certainly different from a usual restaurant. The pastries were absolutely fresh and... More
