Top California Polytechnic State University Hotel Reviews

Madonna Inn

8/10 Good

"the property is a hoot. staff all very friendly and paid attention to detail. The cakes and pastries are a sight to behold and smell in the morning.The views from the pool are amazing. Some aspects seem old and could use some sprucing up (faded paint, carpets in our room smelled musty) but overall definitely worth a stop if you prefer a unique experience instead of a chain hotel. We've never seen anything quite like it."
