We stayed in one of the ground floor roof rooms and the noise above was SO loud and disruptive throughout the morning and into the night. Definitely not worth the money - small TV, no microwave, shoddy WiFi. Vibes and room itself were fun and love the maximalist kitsch. It’s worth visiting but not necessarily the overnight stay.

We had a nice stay. The kids loved the pool! Thanksgiving Dinner was great— just very busy! Great options for the holiday and all the entrees were good! Only issue was that we had a little mouse coming in & out of our room. Had to put a towel in the hole under the door. Our rooms could have use a deep carpet cleaning. Other than that the stay was good. Service in the restaurants were good considering how busy it was.

It was a dream of mine to stay in this retro hotel and it was everything I wanted it to be! Rooms are so kitschy and unique. Everything is over the top and it’s like stepping back in time. We are at the steakhouse and truly felt like we were in a supper club of the 1950’s. For anyone that has nostalgia for that time period (whether they lived it or not) I would highly recommend the Madonna Inn!

Amazing!!!
The decor in this hotel is out of this world!! Everything is stunnning, rooms are clean, the staff is friendly, and the stores are fun to browse. I would highly recommend the copper cafe, food was delicious and portions were hefty. Unfortunately, I cannot fully recommend the steak house. We had a party of three all order different meals, including a steak, and none of them were worth the price. The food was not great.

First time at Madonna
Never really planned on staying here but so glad we did. I guess i thought of it as a relic of days gone by. Was i mistaken. It is a beautifully maintained property with so many amenities. After being here am hour we added another day to our stay. And the steakhouse offered a better dinner than Harris Ranch where we ate on the way down

Exceeded all expectations. I especially loved that the hotel staff moved my bags for me when I switched rooms (wanted to stay in a couple different themes). All I had to do was pack them up and once the room was ready, they moved it all. It was especially helpful since my second room was on the second floor. The robes in the room are VERY comfortable!

The rooms are made with beautiful details that area unique from the color motifs to the vintage lamps and furniture. It’s overall a beautiful place. Even the walk from my room to the pool area was gorgeous. Also, all of the staff were very kind and helpful from the minute I got there till we went home. I only wish I could have stayed longer!
