We loved absolutely everything about the Madonna Inn. I had read lots of reviews about the staff being unpleasant, but I have to say that every single person we came in to contact with, were lovely and super helpful. The rooms are fantastic. We stayed in Jungle Rock and my boys LOVED it. The shower is amazing in this room as it's like a waterfall. The beds are huuuuuge too. We stayed a second night in a different room and the housekeeping staff moved our suitcases from one room to another - so slick and smooth! The facilities on the grounds are excellent. We stayed at the pool for hours. We also did the horseriding which I would definitely recommend. Breakfast at the Copper Cafe was lovely and the portions are massive (for someone from the UK) and dinner at the Alex Madonna Steakhouse was also great. I cannot wait to come back.

We had a great view of the ocean & the whole back of the property (pool, spas, etc) on the 4th floor! About 25 feet from our room was a rooftop patio overlooking the ocean & surrounding area. We loved the whole back area where the pool and spas, and little fire pit areas are. Great area to sit and eat the complimentary breakfast in the mornings and watch the waves! Breakfast was scrambled eggs, sausage or bacon, pancakes, waffles, bagles, fruit, juice, pasteries, and hot drinks. Room was good size, bed was large & comfortable. Coffee with kcups in the morning. Bath/shower combo. (My husband loves baths!) There is a restaurant that shares the parking lot on the property. They were good and delivered to your room, if you wanted.😊

This hotel was one of the greatest surprises of our road trip, we booked it very last minute mainly due to the very interesting price and we got an incredible room/small apartment, with bath robes, separate dining/living and bedroom, super comfy beds in a warm and nice atmosphere where everything was spotlessly clean. It was very well located to explore the incredible surroundings of Lake Tahoe and it suited our family of 4 very well. The café next to the hotel had also incredible nachos that they would also bring to the room! All in all we enjoyed it very much.

This is a beautiful hotel! The rooms were exceptionally clean and the room we got allocated was really large with a lovely outdoor seating area in the front. You couldn't get closer to the beach, the parking was very handy too. The bar is also in the perfect spot for an evening drink with the fire pits too

Amazing care taken in house keeping, loved the additional water in each room, molton brown wash and soaps were impeccable and luxurious. Views of the vast desert made us feel like we were on set for a movie! Would gladly stay here again!

Checking in was a bit of a problem, had to wait a bit after check in time to get our room. Other than that, it was great. Beautiful views of the mountain. Nice big deck. Great place. We loved it.

We loved the vibe of this place. Beautifully designed and decorated. Not your usual run of the mill place by any means. Peaceful, classy place. Would highly recommend.
