Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Madonna Inn from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Madonna Inn's uniquely themed rooms, such as the Cabin Still and Yahoo rooms, are frequently described as spacious and interesting. The pool area is a hit, often mentioned alongside the onsite restaurant and cocktail bar, the steakhouse and the Cooper Kettle; the restaurant is appreciated, and some guests particularly enjoyed the breakfast menu. While most find it a wonderful experience, a few guests have noted wear and tear in some rooms. Conveniently, the hotel is located in a great location for hiking, beaches and SLO, and some rooms offer good sound isolation despite the proximity to the freeway; also, amenities include charging stations, fitness room and tennis court.

Unique Stay Experience!

warm pool adorable room relaxing experience

This hotel is a destination. Our room was decorated adorably. The pool was warm, even on a chilly night! We enjoyed hearing the frogs croak while swimming. The experience was relaxing!!!

The door locks seem a bit outdated, reminiscent of the 90s, and operating them was a little inconvenient.
