Growing up, my dad would take me and my sister on road trips, and we'd always drive by Madonna Inn. It's been a nearly forgotten dream of mine to stay here. My partner and I were celebrating our first anniversary last weekend, so when I was researching cool places to stop for our roadtrip from LA to Sonoma I had to book at this iconic spot. THINGS I LOVED: I didn't realize the walls in the 'GO' room were GLITTER until we arrived and it truly made the experience (photos of us loving the walls attached)! I also was really impressed with how clean the rooms were, especially the shower and carpets. The bidet was a glorious touch. also the gang left a bottle of the Brut in our room with a little note because it was our anniversary (thank you so much, we really did it) and that was SUPER sweet :) My partner and I live in LA and this is 10000000% going to be our fun getaway spot, we CANNOT wait to come back. The pool is walk in, and the view from the hot tub was gorgeous. Everyone who worked there was so nice. Just a really fun time. Also the gift shop is A DREAM. SO much cool stuff and great quality! I got my friend one of the iridescent chalices and she LOVED IT. I'm gonna 100% get the gold painted one for myself next time and maybe even the cool pink cowboy shirt I tried on. WHO KNOWS! Anything can happen at The Madonna!

the bed was REAL squishy and the sheets got pretty sweaty (i dunno if that material just doesn't breathe much - it was fine, just turn on the AC and you'll be good) but that could just be personal preference. The light switches were a little confusing depending on what kinda lighting you wanted (there's like two options lol) but we figured it out lol and none of this took away from the overall experience at all! Still had the best time lol <3

The room was clean, spacious, and fun! The view from our balcony was awesome and the hotel facilities are great. We loved spending time at the pool, the massage I received at the spa was amazing, and the hotel bar is a great place to have a drink, chat with locals and tourists, and people watch. This hotel is over the top and fun for everyone. It's close enough to downtown-- we walked along the path from the hotel and it took about 20 minutes. Can't wait to come back!

The only issue is that the key cards to get into the rooms are super sensitive-- the most sensitive to phones, magnets, etc that I've ever used. Sometimes you'd have to swipe it like 10 times to get in (to your room, the pool. anywhere). We met some other guests who had the same issue.

Was here for a wedding. The energy around this place was amazing. Everyone had a great time. So much to see with such varying styles.

We stayed in "The Hide Away" room. The room was great all except the flower chandeliers that hang on either side of the bed. We hit our heads multiple times on the one on the left by the air conditioner, sometimes pretty hard and we were constantly trying to avoid it. My partner is much taller at 6'3" but I hit it and could make eye contact with it and I am 5'4". I would consider moving at least the one by the air conditioner so someone doesn't accidentally really hurt themselves. Other than that, fantastic!

If you take a fairytale ranch and mix it with the flint stones you get the Madonna Inn. We had a very large family room. There was a dividing wall between the 2 beds so felt like 2 rooms. The decor is kitsch but much better than the photos. We had a really cute dressing table that our girls loved. We arrived Sunday afternoon so the pool was really busy. Monday morning we were the only ones there. Staff very friendly and can’t do enough for you.

So a bit unfair to say but as we were on a 3 week road trip we took one look at the prices on the menu and drove into town. If it had been a special occasion we would love to have experienced the dining room.

We have stayed at the Madonna Inn a couple of times. This time we were in the Sugar and Spice room. It was wonderful, super cute, very spacious, close to the pool, and in the highest building so the view was amazing. We requested extra towels and bathrobes and they brought them to us right away...I forgot my toothbrush and they even provided that for me. We ate at the Steakhouse for the first time and it was AMAZING. Jamie was our server, she was very knowledgeable and attentive, and had wonderful suggestions. We also grabbed a couple of drinks at the bar before and after dinner. The Bartender was so kind to put our after-dinner drinks in to-go cups so we could take them back to our room.

The only thing that could have been better is the service in the Copper Cafe. Granted, they were very busy, but we have eaten there before and had the same issue. Next time we will sit at the bar and see if that helps. One note... definitely get the almond croissant. It is to die for!

We loved absolutely everything about the Madonna Inn. I had read lots of reviews about the staff being unpleasant, but I have to say that every single person we came in to contact with, were lovely and super helpful. The rooms are fantastic. We stayed in Jungle Rock and my boys LOVED it. The shower is amazing in this room as it's like a waterfall. The beds are huuuuuge too. We stayed a second night in a different room and the housekeeping staff moved our suitcases from one room to another - so slick and smooth! The facilities on the grounds are excellent. We stayed at the pool for hours. We also did the horseriding which I would definitely recommend. Breakfast at the Copper Cafe was lovely and the portions are massive (for someone from the UK) and dinner at the Alex Madonna Steakhouse was also great. I cannot wait to come back.

We stayed in the Starlight Room on the 4th floor and had amazing views throughout the day. Best part is the 4th floor is connected via a bridge to the parking space, so you don't have to climb the stairs if you have a bunch of suitcases. The room itself is wonderful, carpet is thick and plush, the shower is FANTASTIC probably the best shower I've ever had, and the bathrobes are super comfortable. I'm sure everyone's already mentioned the decor, but underneath the glitzy gaudy surface is a really solid hotel with great showers, wonderful beds, good views and good solid food from the steakhouse and cafe.

The room didn't come with full amenities, we would have appreciated a razor, combs, etc which we had to ask the reception for. It wouldn't be an issue usually, except the reception is located in a building some distance away.

Loved the rooms and the the staff. Check in was easy. Staff was friendly.

The restaurants could have let us split the bills between our group. We spent an hour trying to figure out the cost for each person. If we could have had groups of four it would have been so much easier. Restaurants can actually do your bill right at the table now for each person. Need to get up to date... its quite annoying for big groups, especially for singles and people paying cash.... Just pretend we are 4 people st each table.... Didn't make the birthday girl feel special and each if us spent around 500 to 1000 ( 20 of us) the weekend because of her. She felt kind of cheated. Might not have seemed alot since it wasn't a huge wedding but word if mouth can mean a lot down the road...

We booked the dinner for our night there because we arrived quite late. The food was delicious the only downside; they ran out of carrot cake which we really were looking forward to have. The pool and hot tube were amazing after our dinner we went for a late dip and enjoyed it enormously. We wish we would have known about the horseback riding option, because we definitely would have booked that.

The second double bed in our room was very tiny and our two girls almost fell out of bed at night. The shower was not draining properly. The next morning at breakfast the waiting times were far to long, we were on a road trip and thought it would be a good option to stay for breakfast and then go on, but because of the very slow service we were behind schedule and felt stressed.

The place is amazing and the rooms are entertaining. We got the Yahoo room w rock waterfall shower. And the pool is heated so went swimming in winter then the hot tub. The room comes w 2 robes that are warm n comfortable. And really recommend to check out the restaurant for breakfast. Alejandro was a fantastic friendly and attentive waiter. And definitely check out the men's restroom downstairs with a rock waterfall .Will be booking again trying a different themed room. Highly recommend going to MadonnaInn.com to check out all the rooms. None are the same.

The waterfall shower in the Yahoo room only big enough for 1 person at a time.
