We stayed in the Swiss Chalet room which was probably not the most 'fun' in terms of theme but it was huge compared to other hotels that we stayed in on this trip. Unfortunately the reception staff seemed pretty bored (or perhaps we were expecting more enthusiasm from such a quirky hotel) and the food in the restaurant was exceptionally... more

this place is so unique you have to spend the extra money and stay here. We stayed in "Daisy Mae" (A Rock Room) and it was well worth it. The room is completely rock....floor, walls and ceiling as well as the bathroom. Not only is the shower all rock with a waterfall, but the sink is also rock and the... more

Nice crazy hotel, all rooms are different and somehow a bit kitch. We booked a love nest suite room. It was all pink, from floor to ceiling with a nice romantic tower. Upon arrival we found a bottle of champagne and a ballon in the room. However, everysting smell old, carpets, beds and furniture. The idea is good, but a... more

For a long time I have wanted to go to Madonna Inn. My partner and I planned a trip to the States from Australia where we would travel from SF to LA, and I made sure we had a stopover in San Luis Obispo simply so we could stay at the Madonna Inn. I was a bit concerned that the... more

I heard about this place from friends who begged me not to miss it while driving coastal California. I was ready for a John Waters-style kitsch-fest but I wasn't expecting the earnestness of the staff. They sincerely love their crazy upsidedown world. Our room was the independence day room which was very "Annie get your Gun" - very pretty and... more

We stayed at the Madonna Inn and loved it. Each room is decorated in a different theme and the amenities are wonderful. There's a great pool and spa, the restaurants were delicious and in short, it was a very memorable evening. Decorated in pinks and reds, your first reaction might be "how gaudy" but they pull it off and it's... more

We stayed here for one night on our honeymoon - in the Wilhelm Tell suite. We'd highly recommend the rock shower! As we were on honeymoon we found a bottle of sparkling white wine in our ice bucket, along with a Madonna Inn helium balloon which was a cute touch. The room was spotlessly clean and well-maintained - the hotel... more

Friends recommended staying at the Madonna Inn on route to LA. I will never forget as the hotel came into view.........mostly bright pink buildings! I thought 'Oh God what sort of a place is this' I have to say I was enthralled by the whole place. Our room was like something from the past with a HUGE four poster bed,... more

This place is a one of a kind. Each room is unique and fabulous. The pool and spa are new and very nice. The restaurants have good food. We stayed for four nights and I wanted to move in. I got a wonderful massage at the spa which was really, really a comfortable and accomodating spa. The pool was beautiful... more
