Highway Suite

The suite has a balcony with a view toward the highway. It is reached by exterior corridors, so it feels like a straightforward, private base rather than a scenic showpiece. If a hillside outlook matters most to you, keep that in mind when choosing among Madonna Inn's individually themed rooms.

The Highway Suite has a private bathroom with a shower. It is stocked with soap, shampoo, towels and toilet paper. Bathrobes are provided, and a hair dryer is available on request.

Yes. The suite has an in-room fireplace and a desk, along with air conditioning, an iron and ironing board, a phone and free WiFi. That makes it comfortable for a working trip or a quiet evening in.

In the suite you get free WiFi, complimentary bottled water, a coffee and tea maker, free daily newspapers and free local calls. Madonna Inn also charges a mandatory resort fee of USD 34.05 per night. It covers pool and hot tub access, fitness center access, in-room coffee and bottled water, the in-room safe, newspaper, phone calls and business center access.

With one king bed and space for two, it is best suited to couples or solo travelers. Madonna Inn is family-friendly overall, but this suite has no rollaway or crib option. Families needing more room can ask about connecting rooms, which are available.

On site there are the Copper Café (7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily) and Alex Madonna's Gold Rush Steak House (dinner, 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.). The Silver Bar Cocktail Lounge, the Madonna Bakery and the Terrace Pool Bar are also on the property. The heated outdoor Terrace Pool is open 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. and needs your room key for entry.

Check-in is after 4:00 p.m. and check-out is before noon. The front desk is staffed 24 hours, and you will need a photo ID and a credit card at check-in. The hotel is non-smoking, and pets are not allowed, though service animals are welcome. Downtown San Luis Obispo is roughly a 5-minute drive and Pismo Beach is about 11 to 15 minutes away.

Like every room at Madonna Inn, the Highway Suite is individually decorated and furnished, so it has its own distinct look rather than a generic hotel feel. The king bed is dressed with a pillowtop mattress and premium bedding, and an LCD TV with satellite channels is on hand for evenings in.

The Highway Suite is accessed via exterior corridors, so you come and go directly rather than through long interior hallways. Housekeeping is available on request throughout your stay.

The Highway Suite keeps things simple: a comfortable king bed, fireplace, desk and private bathroom, without the elaborate themed features some of Madonna Inn's other individually decorated rooms are known for. It suits guests who want a quiet, private base with the essentials rather than a themed showpiece, and connecting rooms are available for those who want to pair it with a neighboring room.
