Madonna Inn

Travelocity Verified Review

"The hotel is really cool - somewhat historic so it was worth visiting. It's pretty pricey for what it is, but you're paying for the brand rather than the perks. There isn't a gym (as far as I was told). The pool and hot tub area was nice. The rooms are OK, but not overly comfortable or cushy. They are very clean, though. We didn't eat at the restaurant or bar, so I can't comment on them, but the restaurant was fun to just walk into. The property itself is just very fun and has a kitchy-ness to it that is gawdy but also endearing. The staff at the front desk were somewhat junior and not overly friendly, but also not rude. My only real complaint was that they said they had car chargers on site, which they do, but they have like 12 Tesla chargers and only 2 for non-Teslas. Those 2 were constantly occupied (often by Teslas, jerks). And they were slow chargers so unless you were able to get it for the overnight charge, it didn't do much. All things considered, I probably wouldn't stay here again since the novelty has worn off, but I think it's worth a stay once."
