You go for the experience and ambiance but depending maybe on your room you can hear your neighbors talking so this place isn’t practical. Rooms with a connecting door is where we experienced this but we didn’t know the room had a connecting door as it wasn’t listed in the room info. I imagine a room with no connecting door might not have this issue. But you do hear people when they pass by in the hallways.

If you are looking for a unique place to stay, I would highly recommend the Madonna Inn. I would also recommend booking way in advance if you want a particular room. My only criticism is that the bed was extremely uncomfortable and so were the pillows (in the Yahoo room). As for the shower, the cave theme is great, but water gets all over the entire bathroom floor and does not dry for hours.

We love the restaurants copper café is a wonderful place to have a good lunch, but we love our breakfast there . Alex‘s steakhouse is a perfect place to have an elegant dinner beautiful atmosphere amazing food. I suggest the ribeye 1000% is worth it. Absolutely love this place. It’s been a gift. Each room has its features, le flur has beautiful atmosphere and heated toilet seats that my daughters loved lol … Italy room was awesome bottom floor and close to the pool!

The pool and hot tub were completely crowded. Why not have one kids do not get in. I don't think a lot of people had rooms or spa booked. One reservation agent was abrupt and one super nice. We asked to check in early and pre- registered and supposedly had a guaranteed 4 o clock check in and still at 4:20-our room was not available. We called earlier in the week and than at noon as suggested. I got violently ill and was unable to take part in any part of the hotel. It's nice place I adore but really fell short.

PROS:
The horses in the field were delightful.
The whole area is very clean and well kept. Nice greenery.
My room had a bidet?!

CONS:
For paying the price of this place, the fact that they charge you for a continental breakfast is WILD. It's $14 for their breakfast. The breakfast consists of 2 beverages (a juice and a coffee or tea) and a pastry item, hardly would call that a breakfast. $14 for that??? Crazy. And if you want a bagel or anything else that they offer, it will be an additional $15+. Again, CRAZY.

Also, the fact that my husband and I sat on the end of our bed and the entire thing starts FLIPPING UP TOWARDS US is CRAZYYYYYYYYYY.

Also also, one of the reservation desk employees is rude. I came in to check out and give my keys back and she yawned in my face and was not hospitable at all. No thank you for choosing us or hope you enjoyed your stay. Blonde woman, should not be working with the public. She must hate her job because we can all tell by how she acts with the guests.

I love the vintage mystique and the property. However, most of the furniture and buildings are old (still charming), but for the age and the limited amenities I think the rooms were overpriced.

I stayed with my 10yr old for a weekend baseball tournament and we had the Cabin Still room. He loved the look and we did stay fin it for 2 nights, but there was no fan or working air. It was hot and we were under the stairs, so it was loud without a fan to drown out the other patrons passing to and from at night. For $299 per night, I feel the air needs to be working. Other than that, the food was great and the staff were all very helpful and friendly.

We had a wonderful stay at the Madonna Inn. Even on a weekday, the hotel was nearly full, which speaks to its popularity. Our family of three loved the unique antique decorations in the room—it felt very special compared to a standard hotel.
The amenities are top-notch; the luxury pool is beautiful, and we spent a lot of time exploring the secret garden. While the on-site restaurant is a visual treat and worth a visit for the vibe, it is a bit overpriced. Luckily, the location is convenient to other dining options like Denny's and Olive Garden if you want to save a little on meals. Highly recommend for a unique California experience!

Popular and famous destination BUT is it worth the $$$??? We were told we would LOVE this place and we KINDA did… but for the $$$$ money you pay i expected FAR MORE! We were charged for EACH person in the room! The room we were in (FOx & Hound) was OLD and worn down. No bathroom in bedroom upstairs so had to wake up people in master bedroom to go pee at night. ONE shower to share for 4 people. The staff is GREAT and the food is AMAZING (steak OMG wow)… but listen NO NEED to charge this amount. We did a 5-day wine tour and we paid the same for ONE night at Madonna Inn as we paid for our other 4 nights in other cities! WOW! Plus we had no extra charges like parking or resort fees BUT Madonna DOES!!!! Madonna needs to update for the rates they charge!!!

I grew up a few miles from the Madonna Inn and have always enjoyed it. We had a pretend splurge this weekend and stayed the night. I have to admit that a lot of areas felt old and dirty and look pretty haggard . And as a walrus the womens bahroom smells of hot wet sewage. Assuming as always it’s because of the mens waterfall urinal well. The vinyl cushioning on the wall and doors is black in a lot of areas. Just worn and old and filthy looking. The cushy vinyl chairs in the bar are all cracked. Things like this. They look awful, and are easy to redo. Taking nothing away. Just refreshing. It’s looking old and dirty. And very disappointed. It’s a lot of money, and people’s experiences aren’t going to be positive.
