Confessions from the Madonna Inn

February 9, 2006 at 12:26 PM | 0 Comments

When we simultaneously think of Madonna and hotels, we think of the following: Playing truth or dare, practicing Kabbalah, Sean Penn (we can't help it, he was our first love), our black adidas track suit and four-hour workouts with a portable yoga instructor.

But the Madonna Inn in San Luis Obispo, California is unlike any of the above. Each room is actually one of several funky, and maybe tacky, suites like the Irish Hills room which is covered in Lucky Charm sort of stuff. There's also the Krazy Daisy room which is covered in pink.

Since we've never been inside we are relying on the words of a very frequent guest who has given us the complete 411 on the whole joint:

I love this place. I have stayed here on at least ten different occasions, which means ten different rooms; I love each and every one of them....

This is a fun place to stay the night, or several nights, but if you need perfection, don't stay here. Previous guests have not taken care of some of the things and it sadly shows. I'm not saying anything is in dis-repair, but there are some chipped and broken things that are hard to match and replace. So if you stay here, be careful with the furnishings, including and especially, the glass, tile and marble.

But don't worry because this guest has at least three more paragraphs devoted to the amazing steak and pastries they serve there. However, we would like to suggest to the hotel that a little bit of botox and facial dermabrasion is nothing to be ashamed about.
