"Clean, spacious room, relatively close to downtown if you don't mind walking The management was inflexible about an 1 hr early check in, and also required $20 for a 1 hr late checkout. This has not been my experience in any other Quality or competitors I have used."

"Why leave the Madonna Inn when you can do it all there. No, but really! It has everything!!!! The town of SLO is cute too, but wow this place really has it all! Live music, spa, pool, cafe/bakery, restaurant, garden, horse trail riding… & more. All the rooms are unique and the staff is very friendly. Thank you Mrs. Madonna for keeping the dream going!

"The property is nice and clean. However, it's right next to the freeway so it's pretty loud. The receptionist who checked us in didn't informed us that the parking is nnot free. All she said was it's going to be $100 deposit as an accidental incident. When we checked out in the morning, we were charged $20 for parking. With that said, we're not planning on stay here again!! I like people/workers to be transparent!!"

Travelocity Verified Review

"I had high hopes as this was a family member’s favorite place to stay in years past. My family has stayed at a different (franchise) place in years past so I was looking forward to something a little more upscale. So let’s begin with what I liked. It is a pretty place, the staff is friendly and the cookies, coffee and tea offered in the lobby were a nice touch. It is close to the shuttle drop for the Thursday night Farmer’s Market too. The bed was very comfortable. Unfortunately, we got a room that was in what my husband called the basement (level below ground) that was dark and smelled musty. The shutters on the window were broken. They were putting new carpeting on the lobby stairs when we checked in, so there is some upkeep happening so maybe they just hadn’t gotten to the lower level rooms for upkeep. I also did not like that after booking this place, we were charged $15 per night to park (open parking lot that includes their restaurant parking) plus a resort fee (I do not like resort fees and find them disingenuous to the consumer as if the price of the room is not sufficient to cover the amenities, like the pool which we did not use)."
