Madonna Inn

Make a reservation or don't bother going. It's charming with its themed suites and the locale. Clean, nice staff, but the restaurants and bakery are nearly impossible to ever take in because its charm attracts too many people. It also attracts whole families, so a romantic trip can be ruined by a group of girl scouts in the two rooms nearby. I think this would be a great place to be in the off season but not a fan during peak times, which are often. I'd say to search for when off season is.

I love this place. It's quirky and quaint, while still feeling high class. The rooms are amazingly done, and each unique. The steakhouse is great for dinner, and the Copper Cafe is amazing for breakfast. Don't forget to try the hot chocolate.

The Madonna Inn breakfast restaurant is like an old painting that was once colorful and interesting and is now faded and losing it's finish. The carpets are very worn and appear dirty.. The walls, furniture, tables, and booths need to be refurbished. The breakfast was large portions of ordinary food. The servers are congenial and handle a lot of tables while wearing the most dated unflattering outfits. Our server was very pleasant even though she was busy with several tables. Regardless, the place remains a must try at least once place. It is always very busy and the Madonna ownership doesn't care if you come back. They have reached icon status and with the nearby Cal Poly students will keep busy forever. Sincerely, Buck J. Cheshire

The space itself in unreal, and the service was awesome! We went there for Easter breakfast without a reservation (we had no idea it was THAT popular) and the staff did everything they could to get my party of 9 a table together. The food was great, too. Definitely have to go back!

I can't believe I've never been here before. Go get a drink in the very pink bar, have coffee in the kitschy diner area, or have dinner in the gaudy but amazing main dining room. If you like over-the-top decor from bygone eras please drop what you are doing and go. Stops just short of being sensory overload. I think it was even a bit extra because I went just before Easter. I love it. Can't wait to go back.
