Hotels near Leaning Pine Arboretum

"This was one of the worst hotel stays I’ve had, especially for the price point. I completed online check-in in advance, but when I arrived, my key wasn’t ready and I still had to wait in line for about 25 minutes because the front desk was clearly understaffed. That completely defeats the purpose of offering online check-in. There was also no easy place to refill a water bottle, which felt like a basic amenity that was missing. The walls must be paper thin. There was constant door slamming late into the night, going on until around 2am. Not occasional noise, but repeated slamming that made it nearly impossible to sleep. Even my college-aged son, who can normally sleep through anything, couldn’t believe how loud it was. It didn’t improve in the morning. Starting around 7am, staff walkie talkies were beeping loudly in the hallways, which woke us up. Then, despite completing online checkout for 11am, someone knocked on our door at 8am asking if we had left. That was completely inappropriate and disruptive, especially with my son still asleep. For nearly $500 a night, this level of disorganization, noise, and lack of consideration is unacceptable. I would not stay here again."

"The rooms were clean and newly renovated. The staff was efficient and helpful. The rest of our experience was poor. The walls must be thin because we could hear everything people were saying in nearby rooms. The vending machine didn’t give us the items we purchased on 2 occasions. Parking was barely sufficient for a busy weekend in SLO. There was no electrical outlet for the in-room coffee machine. We had to move it to another part of the room. "

"Cute place"

"Because of the way the balcony was constructed Room 264 flooded because of rain. The balcony filled with water like a bathtub and poured into the room. Since it was late at night, the front desk was closed and the “emergency” phone number went to somebody in San Francisco who said they couldn’t do anything for me. Also , because it was late I could not get another room. We slept with a lake surrounding us in our beds. Also, I was informed the next morning they were working on resolving the issue. However, they still rented us the room KNOWING there was an issue. I will be contacting the Fire Marshall and City District Attorney. This room should have never been rented. Did I mention the ceiling started to leak as well!!!"

"No staff in the middle of the night. Door does not work to get into the building so my son slept in the car until 6am. The phone number to call is disconnected to get in too "

"Good value. Good place to relax for a night. I recommend this place. Staff are very a welcoming."

"We had a wonderful stay at the Madonna Inn. Even on a weekday, the hotel was nearly full, which speaks to its popularity. Our family of three loved the unique antique decorations in the room—it felt very special compared to a standard hotel. The amenities are top-notch; the luxury pool is beautiful, and we spent a lot of time exploring the secret garden. While the on-site restaurant is a visual treat and worth a visit for the vibe, it is a bit overpriced. Luckily, the location is convenient to other dining options like Denny's and Olive Garden if you want to save a little on meals. Highly recommend for a unique California experience!"

"Parking well lit. Staff friendly. Air works fine. Room clean. Breakfast left me wishing for beverage like hot chocolate and choice of packaged danish could have been better."

"clean room! didn't need the hot tub or parking, but room was spacious and had nice furnishing for the price. good experience "
