    We had drinks at the bar years ago and always wanted to stay and it exceeded all our expectations! Maximalist to the max! We stayed in the Bridal Falls room and it was so cool!! Beautiful stained glass and the stone waterfall shower was incredible! We had dinner in the restaurant and it made all of our retro dining dreams come true! The decor is over the top and the food and drinks delicious! Oh! And the pool is great too. We swam and lounged for a few hours before dinner. Put it on your bucket list!

    We loved our stay at the Madonna Inn. It was a short trip, but we were able to enjoy the pool and spa area, as well as an amazing dinner at the Alex Madonna Steak House. It is truly a one of a kind experience. One of our favorite parts was seeing the beautiful horses roaming the property in the morning! We can't wait to plan another trip.

    Beautiful property. Lots of wonderful memories.

    Room was clean. Spa and restaurant were wonderful.

    Need some elevators, especially if you are in the top area and have large suitcases.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    No other property like this and it’s stayed magical since opening in ‘50’s. Pool is great place to chill and swim in warm water. See you again, very soon!!

    The bath amenities were too frugal. We stayed from June 19-22. The ice machine was broken The whole time. Those are the squabbles. Beautiful property. Our room, the China Flower, was beautifully appointed. With the two Queen beds separated by a wall, perfect for small families.

    We dined in the Copper Tower for lunch. No one was nice. We had never been there before and had to fend for ourselves. Daughter wasn't feeling well and had $8 french fries she didn't eat pushed on her and not taken off the bill when we mentioned they weren't eaten. Cinnamon roll was weak. Tasted overly like orange and was dry. We consumed an english muffin, two very poorly poached eggs, and a waffle and the bill was $140. No one asked if we were staying in the hotel; we couldn't get back easily from that room. Gift shop staff asked if we were stopping there to have dinner. We were staying for 2 days. We found out from the third gift shop person that we could get postcards of the room we were staying in. It made me wonder what else was offered we simply didn't know about. Ice machine non-operational for our entire stay. Secret Garden: beautiful. When is it open?? Overall: clean room, BEAUTIFUL property, great amenities if they are open during your stay and you know about them. Loved the pool (except for the closure), although the hot tub was broken the second night.

    Everything was fabulous except the weather for the two days we were there. No pool usage cause the sun wasn’t out. Cameron the day we left. Bummer cause the pool is part the reason we stay every summer. Not their fault but our stay wasn’t as great as each summer prior.

    We love staying at the e Madonna! Staying at the property is so unique, colorful and fun. The view you get at the pool it’s just pictures. Having the option to eat at the property. It’s extremely convenient and everything they serve is amazingly delicious. Staff is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. We will be returning as always!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Amazing experience. Unique in all the best ways.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Very unique place!! Great pool area, bar/lounge and bakery. Loved the “secret garden” too.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    It was fabulous just like we’d always imagined! So kitschy and camp, just gorgeous craftsmanship. My wife & I came to celebrate our wedding anniversary and were surprised with a free bottle of champagne in our room and a free slice of their famous pink champagne cake at dinner. Very classy & so appreciated. The staff were all excellent, helpful, and genuinely so hospitable. Can’t wait to return and try out the spa!

    For over a decade now, it has been my dream to stay at the Madonna Inn. My husband took me for my birthday this year. We had the most wonderful time. We had breakfast in the café and dinner at the steakhouse. We stayed in room 146 called the Mini Maxi. The purple sparkly walls were so fun. The fireplace worked well and we used it the entire time we were in the room. Food in the restaurant was spectacular. I had the pork chops and my husband had the rib eye. For dessert they gave me a slice of carrot cake. You can pick any cake you like. We’ve already tried the pink champagne cake, which was also wonderful. We had a great time laying out by the pool and ordered their signature cocktail. Overall, the stay exceeded my expectations and I can’t wait to come back again to try a different room.

    the room was ok but a bit old fashion which was part of the theme... On the downside there was no usb ports and the outlets were minimal.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    After staying at the Madonna Inn 46 years ago on our honeymoon, we always return to the same high standards & friendly staff. We were in the Elegance Room, 1sr floor which has a king & queen to accomodate 4 people. Comfy beds. Great premium steak house. Reasonable premiymMartini's at the bar before dinner. Try there champagne cake, so delicous, enough for 2. We love Madonna Inn and Expedia foe a great value pricing.

    The Cave still room looked awesome inside but it’s located under a patio deck with lots of traffic so it was hard to go to sleep. Very noisy.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    This very unique hotel is something to appreciate .
