Madonna Inn Resort & Spa Reviews

Great inn! Very clean, close ot highway, fun rooms.

This was my first visit to the Madonna Inn. I was amazed at how the buildings were built around bedrock. The food was REALLY good and fresh. The staff, Stephanie, Cipi, and Marco(?) were so friendly and was willing to help if needed. I was there for my friend's wedding in the Secret Garden and the atmosphere was awesome. Especially since it was a Halloween wedding and the reception was in the evening. I will definitely be returning for another visit.

Well I love this place! The cafe isn t anything to fuss over so I d skip that. I like the bakery and the dinner salami cheese basket. The food isn t amazing for dinner but it is pretty and lovely to be in the dinner room so I love it!

Everyone should see this place at least once in their lifetime

If you know, you know. Stellar. We got married there.

Good breakfast at the copper Cafe... The cakes are to die for...

Always fun to visit this long time institution. The cafe is great for brunch. The restaurant has great entrees. I live locally.. but there are always distant tourists. The hotel has character. Stayed here for my honeymoon. It's a local institution. Try at least once.

Love this place...first visit & I will definitely come back.

The staff is friendly & the atmosphere is amazing. Love the different themes of each room.

The wonderland of the central coast! Flash back to good old western culture, each room has a story. The mountain view is spectacular.

Prices in coffee shop to high for the low income person who wants to eat out

I m worried about this hotel. I stayed in the Carin room, which is one of the priciest ones. Bed and pillows needed to be replaced a long time ago. So uncomfortable. Hotel isn t being maintained like it was in the past.

Good food. Great service. Leave room for cake/pie.

Went to restaurant. Excellent service, mediocre food.

Absolutely beautiful. And the cakes are to die for. They do sell them by the slice. Kid friendly staff. Lots to look at. I deffinately recomend it

Over the top, overpriced, delicious fun. Sometimes they have Toffee Crunch cake (nee Coffee Crunch), though the experienced enthusiast knows to have a slice set aside ahead of time, as they often run short. The sweet barbecue sauce has become an occasional craving. It's not just good on meat.

The Madonna Inn is one of the few places I can honestly without a doubt say it's one of a kind. The restaurant is superb. Favorites are Belgian Waffles, French Toast, and their Corn Beef and Hash. Yet every single dish that I have tasted there has never not been deliciously satisfying.
The bathrooms are beautifully done. Ladies - if you haven't seen the men's bathroom ask the male in your group to escourt you. You'll want to check it out.
The gift shop... I am a sucker for the Madonna Inn glassware. The colored goblets are beautiful and well worth the money spent on them.
I have yet to stay here - but I've had friends who have worked here and I've toured some of the rooms. And each room is magnificently done. The detail, time, and effort to design, decorate, and the layout of each room can be appreciated as soon as one walks through the doorway.

Went there for my wedding reception and it's a beautiful place and the staff are super friendly

The Service was Great ! The food was Great ! The atmosphere was Great !
It was was "72nd. birthday & my son took me there for my birthday dinner.
I highly recommend Madonna Inn !

Great place. Wonderfully over - the - top. Fantastic atmosphere. We where lucky to be there on a Wednesday night when the very tallented locals come to dance.

All themed rooms. Funny but you just have to like it. Not cheap but clean and the bathroom was nice and big

A really incredible place to stay or eat. Interior decor beckons to an age gone by. Real class. The silver bar features pink cushioned railing to lean on while you sit in your pink stationary bar stool set on a golden pedestal. Large dining room off the Silver Bar reminds you of a 1940s dinner club where patrons arrive in fashion for dinner, dancing and music. Goyo GTO says GO!!

This is one of the coolest rooms I have ever stayed in. I was in the Sky room and it felt like I was in a small apartment. There is no microwave or fridge which was a bummer, but that doesn't take away from how awesome this place is. I didn't get a chance to go swimming but the pool looked pretty awesome. The hotel is located near plenty of shopping and just 15 minutes from Pismo Beach and outlets. I will definitely be a repeat visitor!

Had our IBEW Christmas Party here. Wonderful time, the behind the scenes workers made it great. Food as always was amazing. If you come here, you HAVE to see the men's restroom!

Amazing rooms to explore, whuch still have comfy beds and a great shower.. great food, cakes, chochlates , pastries and lovely staff.... U MUST STAY HERE!

It's gaudy, it's goofy, it's A M A Z I N G . The Madonna Inn is a time capsule that transports you to some alternate universe, where pepto pink is the requisite color and meat n potatoes the requisite fare. I love the big, puffy naugahyde booths and the (not actually very tasty, but totally worth buying) cakes. But the very best thing about Madonna Inn is the comfy cozy atmosphere. I adore the grandma-ness of it all. Part Disneyland, part Denny's. Full of the ghosts of aqua-net ladies from the 60's, I'm sure. I've got nothing but love for this place.

I heard a lot about the champagne cake and pink decor of Madonna inn, so finally decided to check it out. The champagne cake was alright, personally I liked their Black Forest cake better. They also had their Christmas decorations up. Worth it if you are in the area.

Stopped in for a dozen chocolate chip cookies. They were wonderful. Took about 15 minutes to get inside from the parking lot. I had to stop and smell all the beautiful roses.

Unique and engaging rooms. Great staff. Expensive but worthwhile for special events and occasions. We plan to come again.

Fun, themed rooms, clean, decent price, amazing food etc....loved it overall.

Great place for dinner. They sometimes have live music which is nice. The prime rib is my favorite!

Had dinner at the steak house. Beautiful decor and great service. Food was only okay, especially since it was on the pricier side.

Fabulous one of a kind experience....Great rooms, ambience, & dining...

It's old as expected. Rock floors are uneven and I tripped and fell entering the room, not a good start. Bed was nice. Shower was tinier than expected again with uneven rock floors. Takes time to get used to. Bike rentals and horseback riding is about all there is to do without driving. Pool was super crowded and nowhere to sit, but it's summer vacation. Frankly, with their high priced rooms, I didn't expect so many kids. It was worth seeing, but I won't go back. Pricey.

I like the cake there and they have a cool bathroom.

You can't see the rooms unless you get one for the night but we had lunch there and I love how it's decorated. If you want to have dinner in the pink room, you need to be there after 5. Otherwise it's the room on the side. Definitely want to go back and stay in a room. And the bathrooms!!!! They're all different so check them out. And yes, I did go in to the dudes restroom downstairs. It's a must!

Gorgeous, clean bathrooms; check out the Men's bathroom, ladies!! Food is very good, but bit expensive. Beautiful, hand-carved woodwork.

Very cool place if you are in San Luis Obispo, but a bit expensive breakfast. Worth seeing but ordering a coffee might be enough

We stopped in as a surprise birthday cake and coffee for our friend. Despite being a whole cake they still charged is to slice it! The cake was really very good but they need to reevaluate their customer service!

A wonderful time celebrating my husbands 75th birthday with family! Rosanna was an exceptional waitress! She was very kind and helpful!

Have been passing by this for years but finally stopped and went in for the first time. If you've never gone in I'd suggest going in just to see the unique designs all over. The bathrooms have interesting designs (specifically the men's downstairs one). There's also 3 levels of gift shops, pretty pricey but still cool to check out.

Lovely place! Very unique and different from anywhere we've stayed. Very comfortable beds. Great restaurants and awesome customer service. Will definitely go back!

I took my Dad and Stepmom to Christmas Dinner. It was awesome!

Very pink! Friendly staff, great atmosphere, try out some swing dancing on Monday nights

If you haven't heard of the Madonna inn, Google it. Themed rooms show a bit of their age, but that's where the charm comes in. You probably only need one night but make sure to explore all of the hotel grounds to take it in. We stayed in the Kona room which is one of the rock/cave rooms. Highly recommend. The bathroom is totally integrated into the rock and lots of fun. Comfortable bed. And a fireplace!

Beautiful Inn. They service was outstanding. Food is great. Room are fun and unique to experience. Themed rooms available to choose from. Wonderful getaway. Has a spa and other fun things to choose from

I went to the Madonna Inn for a stop back home for a good experience. I had a nice hot chocolate, followed by a refreshing sundae.

We had a lovely lunch yesterday. The food was good the service excellent.

Very well decorated restaurant with a lot of attention to detail. Food was delicious and the cake is delicious.

A one of a kind resort destination. Its uniqueness is the reason to come.

very clean room and the sheets were clean as well. great service.

Food was marginal, as was the service. Last time both food and service were great was about 8 years ago. The visual atmosphere is 5 stars and pretty much the same as 20 years ago.

This was our ten year anniversary and it was outstanding. Great service, beautiful ambiance, and our food was incredible. Thanks for the memories.

There champagne cake is to die for it is almost as good as delanos old gingham bow bakery back in the day

Good spot to visit of your from out of town. Good cake.

We love their cakes and always have them for birthdays!

Wonderful cake and coffee, especially the carrot and champagne.

The gaudiness and history adds pizazz. Though expensive, the prime rib is fabulous, and great watching people dance. Never a dull moment, with happy people everywhere.
