My first time a man was it memorable! We stayed in the caveman suite. And it did not disappoint, we were happy to discover we had a built in waterfall as well as a grotto style rock shower and sink!

One of the most lurid hotels you’ll ever see, but also one of the sweetest and nicest places. Stay for cocktails and food in the evenings and watch the live band and while families dancing.

If you like campy kitsch, this is a great themed hotel to make a 1 night stop in. Enjoy the grounds, but don't go for an XL room (much of the space will be unused) or eat dinner at the steakhouse

"One of the world's kitschiest hotels—100+ uniquely themed rooms await. Scenic pool, trail rides, live theatre, hot-pink tennis court, all-pink steakhouse, copper-accented café, rose-tinted bar."

The perfect balance between elegance and kitchy tacky. So fun! Stay in a rock waterfall room if one is available!
Scott ThornAugust 18, 2019
Amazing atmosphere, extremely accommodating staff, unique rooms. Definitely a must visit. The food in the Copper Cafe is excellent, their champagne cake is to die for.

Feels like you may have stumbled into a White Christmas or a Tarantino movie; in either case, the kitsch is delightful and a cant miss for folks traveling on the 101.

Like a Disneyland for adults, don't let all the pink fool you - my husband loves it here too. Stay mid-week to avoid the crowds! :)

Expensive but great for a date or a night when the family is visiting. Don't skip out on the portobello mushroom or any of the desserts.

Be sure to call to book your reservation and you can choose your room theme. If you book online they select a room for you.

Wish I had the time to get a room.But Do yourself a favor and have a drink in the bar and order a steak.You'll be glad you did.
Michael AarsMarch 28, 2014

You just have to see this gaudy place! It's really a sight to see.

Use both the waterfall and the normal shower head. For increased enjoyment bring a beer in there with you. Great room!

Get one of the rooms up top if you stay here--much quieter than the single story rooms down below.

Madonna Inn is a visual treat. There are public tours of the men’s room in the basement.

Men's room downstairs by wine shop has a faux waterfall for urinal. Women frequently enter b/c seeing is believing.

Pro move: if you are checking in from the parking lot, just walk back to your car and keep driving.
Dave MortensenMay 22, 2018
Steak and ribs are really good! Kind of pricey...
