    The only thing disappointing thing is they cancelled my massage last minute due to a sick call. It was very disappointing as we were only there for one night and drove 4 hours to get there. Although I know you never plan to be sick - I would maybe hope in the future they can have a back up plan/staff for sick calls especially on a busy weekend. The staff did their best to make right with a gift card and a goody bag. I did not catch the girls name but she did go over and beyond to try and rectify the situation. Greatly appreciated . I probably would have rated the property a 10 if it weren’t for this event.

    The room was fantastic and whimsical. All the staff from the bar, spa, check in and restaurants were so friendly and accommodating. The danishes and cake were very yummy ! Everything was clean and quiet. The pool was very nice to lay at. The pink cloud drink was a must try! And you can’t beat the views .

    The price of the rooms and cake slices, a bit much in both cases.

    The pool & Jacuzzis. The amazing creativity of the founders & designers - the Madonna family - and the decor all over is ornate and one of a kind! Nice to be able to drive right up to room.

    Wonderful room, pool was superb with a great pool bar. We enjoyed breakfast at the copper kettle. We stayed with two children in Show Boat, that worked really well with the room layout.

    I know that the Madonna Inn is “the place to stay“ in SLO, but I didn’t find anything special about it, particularly in light of the price of the room and the resort fee. The room we had “Solvang“ was very big, but the furniture must’ve been brought in sometime around 1945 right after the war. When we first checked in, they offered us a room the third floor, and it had no elevator to get up. Fortunately, we are able to change to a first floor room.

    The room we had was big, although the furniture was old and the one chair creaked.

    That my stay wasn't longer. Next time I'm staying at least 3 nights if not more.

    The property was beautiful. They had heated pool available and hot tubs. The bar with lounge was perfect for a night cap. Everything from the secret garden to the decorative details in the rooms where georgious.

    The only downside was the big lights outside of our bedroom window that never went off. They were part of our outside window, on the top floor. The light seeped through the curtains and kept me up for most of the night. I even called the front desk and they didn’t seem to know what I was talking about. It made my sleep really uncomfortable.

    The inside of our room (the love nest) was so beautiful and kitschy. There were lots of extra little details from the birds on the light fixtures to the tile in the shower. The hotel as a whole has wonderful amenities, from their spa to their delicious steak house. They really have everything you could need. Also bonus: fancy toilets with heated seats lol

    The price of food at the restaurants were very high. My husband and boys stayed in a seperate room. My son had surgery and has difficulty even though we were on the 1st floor with the unevenness of the pavement/stones. Also my 98 year old mother had difficulty with the same issue.

    The room was very cute! Stayed with my daughters in the Crystal Room. It was perfect for us. Loved how there were 2 areas to get ready.
