About Madonna Inn

Madonna Inn brings 110 individually themed guest rooms to San Luis Obispo, from the Love Nest and Bridal Falls to larger options like Harvard Square (up to 7 guests) and Pick & Shovel (up to 9).

The hotel declares wedding services with both indoor and outdoor options, including outdoor ceremonies, and a meeting and banquet space for the reception.

Catering is handled in house, with wedding menus priced from 36 to 82 USD per head, including house made dinner rolls, coffee and tea beverage service and a dessert choice.

We estimate the drive from San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport (SBP) at around 10 minutes, in what we would describe as a relaxed, historic countryside setting.

My husband took me here for my 30th birthday. The room was beautiful, next time we would like to stay in one of the mermaid themed rooms. I love that every room is different and has its own character. It was so clean, quiet and comfortable.
