"Surpassed my expectations."

My goodness, it's one of my new favorite places. We spent two nights in the quaint “California poppy” room, on a whim, somewhat last minute booking. We moved from an air bnb to Madonna inn and had the best time. Enjoyed the pool/spa both days as well as the fantastic restaurant on site. Already booking another stay, next month. Thank you for the five star hospitality !
