For years I dreamed of spending a night...or more...at the Madonna Inn. It's known for it themed rooms and pampering. The Inn was a pleasant surprise because of the new upgrades to the old hotel. We stayed in one of the "rock" rooms which makes taking a shower a whole new experience. Our room came with a waterfall in the... More

Hubby took me to the Madonna Inn for a surprise birthday get-away. When we first drove up, I was struck by all the pink, and I like pink so that was OK. We checked in and drove up the hill to our room, which unfortunately, was on the 3rd floor. No prob...let's take the elevator...ut oh, NO elevator! So, hubby... More

Ok, everyone should spend a night or so at the Madonna Inn in San Luis Obispo one time in their life. The owners like pink and it is evident in the small details of the property. They also like to decorate their rooms according to a theme (every room is unique) and sometimes they can be a little garish. BUT... More

This review is only about the Copper Restaurant. We came in to try to famous Champagne cake and some other varieties. We got 4 pieces of cake and paid $35! WTF??? The cake was stale and did not have a good flavor. We saw that they made the cakes every day so not sure why they were stale. For that... More

My husband and I stayed there during a road trip from L.A. to San Francisco on Dec 25. The hotel, especially the dining room was very nice and crazy :-) decorated. We did not make a reservation for Christmas dinner and asked the night of our check in. They were booked out, but somehow they managed to get us a... More

I've had a few rooms over the years. Caveman suite was best. It needs a refurbishment and has got quite commercial. The steaks are good as are the cocktails. More

Very spendy for an OK room. We were in the Yosemite Rock Room, which even in the low season was almost $300/night. The bed was OK and the rock decor was interesting but cheesy. The fireplace made noise to where we had to leave it off. The worst part was that the wind blew in the door (crooked/huge gap on... More

We stayed in the Paris Violets room. It was definitely different than any place we had stayed before, but it was a once in a lifetime experience. Upon arriving the staff greeted us and checked us in. The whole experience was rather delightful, and if we are ever in the area again we would probably stay here for a night.... More

I think if you are vacationing in the area and have never stayed here, you should for one night. We stayed in "Lucky Rock" with its fabulous couch, rock walls and shower, and zebra carpet. It was cool, but if I was staying in the area longer than one night I would go somewhere cheaper. The rooms are cool, but... More
