Madonna Inn, San Luis Obispo


It looks like I fell in love with this pepto bismol pink palace. Here are some highlights. Key card for the Swiss Rock Room.


Swiss Rock Room lamp (in general this space was too dark to obtain a good photograph).


Wall paper in the main building's women's bathroom (shiny).


The restaurant decorated for the Christmas season (enter people gathering for every holiday party within 20 miles).


The quest for odd landscaping continues. A fountain directly across from the famous men's bathroom.


Postcards of all the themed rooms.


Wandering around at night looking at them became a favorite pastime.


Red carpet treatment heading toward the Buffalo Room.


Two doors down from the Cave Man Room.




The infinity pool at dusk (80º all the time = even though it was cool and no higher than 63º, it was a must swim visit).


The pink glow emanating from the pool at night.


One of my favorite details - the bath soap was packaged in a container resembling cake ...


... which produced a photograph of a cardboard box "cake" float.


My favorite image from the Madonna Inn - the tennis courts.


I was also on the hunt to find the ugliest possible decor. I thought it was this photograph of a payphone surrounded by glowing pink but then...


I saw this floral carpet clash. I finally settled on this...


... fake grape chandelier with a sparkly, green foam ceiling.


I hate to say it but I may have aspirations on staying at the Madonna Inn again (perhaps next time on a higher floor in a lighter room that isn't covered with rock walls, though they were ideal for hanging the pool towels).
