just stopped down the coast on the route from LA to San Francisco for a coffee and stooped to stroke a dog - just to cut a long story short - this couple (dog owners) told us about this amazing hotel - and it was - oh my god! so quirky - we checked in late so didn't have much... More

My husband and I booked the winter package for an early anniversary retreat. It was two nights in a room, with 2 ice skating tickets, a 45 minute couples massage, a bottle of champagne, and chocolates from the bakery. We had an amazing dinner in the beautiful restaurant, the pool was wonderful. It was a wonderful experience that we have... More

The Madonna Inn is absolutely ridiculous! It's garish, it's bold, bright and brash, it's hugely over the top, and it's great! My fiancé and I were driving up Highway 1 from LA to San Fran and picked this place out in advance as a stop on our adventure. The place used to be a coach stop, and was developed by... More

We have stayed at the Madonna Inn two summers in a row. Stayed in the Showboat room and in Eligance. We take our girls and they love it! The food and the service at the pool is amazing! We want to make it a tradition and try to stay in different rooms each time. It is sort of hard becasue... More

We hadn't prebooked, just rocked up & were initially allocated a room - sorry I cant remember the name. It wasn't the "extreme" Madonna Inn experience we were hoping for so we went back to reception to see if there were other rooms. Thankfully there were and they booked us into the Yahoo room. Well, from opening the door our... More

The rooms were so dirty grandson was black from being on floor. No free wi-fi or breakfast. Check in time to late in day. For the price and hype not recommend. At check out they did not seem to care or believe us. Will stay at Pismo Beach next time.

We saw a wedding taking place, must've had party-goers in our building--doors slamming, loud noises at 2 to 3 AM woke me! Freeway noise (101) bad too, probably worse higher up, where we were. Pool was lovely :) and I enjoyed swimming in it, but hot tub not very clean, foam on water :( Bucket list, done!

Don't know how to describe what we were really expecting but it definitely wasn't the high-caliber of service and ammenities that we received. This is the perfect get-away from any kind of typical hotel spot. It's definitely high on the kitsch factor and the term "over the top" doesn't even begin to describe it - but if you love something... More

We have taken a car club group to Madonna Inn almost every year for the past 12 years. Sometimes we have had groups of 40, sometimes much smaller. Occasionally we received some perks as a group, but this year it was no perk, just noise and problems. A "party" lasted until 3 am and as partiers disbursed to their rooms,... More

You should stay here - for one night. This place looks like it was decorated by Betsy Johnson and Barbie after they took shrooms. It is gawdy CRAZY. But, it's also totally unique. We stayed in room 184 "Just Heaven" which is huge and...well, check out the rooms online (they have a picture of every one). The rooms are very... More
