"At the Madonna Inn, color is luxury; color is abundance; color is everything. Located in San Luis Obispo, the property is a common and kitschy stop on California road trips. The rooms here are uniquely decorated to suit traveler tastes across the board—some are even inspired by the property's surrounding American West nature. In the Bridal Falls room, named after the Yosemite National Park waterfall, all of the walls, even the ceiling—along with the carpeting and marble rock surrounding the bed—are bright green. Their iconic Madonna Suite is the signature room, bedecked in shades of pink and rose and complemented by gold furnishing. The pink and red velvet seats around the dining table feature a gold script “M” marked on them—a nod to Phyllis Madonna, the co-owner and interior designer of the room. Outside of the rooms, stained glass windows pour a rainbow sleuth of colors into the Silver Bar Cocktail Lounge where the vivid pink, blue, and green floral carpet is kissed with the California sunshine.

We had a great stay at the Hotel Cerro! The staff were all very friendly and attentive to our needs. The valets were amazing- they had their hands full with it being move-in weekend for Cal Poly but they always had smiles on their faces. The front staff was also great- they even called us to let us know we left our computer behind after we checked out. That means everything. The hotel is very cute and is in a great spot with tons within walking distance. We will definitely be back!

Our stay at Hotel Cerro was fantastic! We had a beautiful garden view room with the best patio, which was perfect for relaxing and enjoying the serene atmosphere. The staff was incredibly nice and accommodating, making us feel welcomed from the moment we arrived.||||The on-site restaurant was also a highlight of our stay—every meal was delicious, with fresh ingredients and impeccable service. We especially loved the laid-back and charming vibe of San Luis Obispo. The little town has such a cute, friendly atmosphere, and everyone we met was so kind and laid-back.||||We can’t wait to come back for another perfect getaway!

We traveled as a couple in late May and stayed in a garden view suite for four nights. The location for a first-time trip to San Luis Obispo was optimal for exploring the nearby beaches, wine country and downtown. ||The hotel is well situated in downtown with lots of restaurants, movie theatres, game rooms, axe throwing and shops in easy walking distance. (The downtown Farmers market on Thursday night was a great place to stock up on fresh juice and snacks). Our room was modern, spacious with good sitting areas both inside and outside with a private patio and door that opened to a delightful edible garden area. The shower, double sink vanity, bathtub and toilet are all separated and amply sized. The lighting in the room was excellent and we enjoyed the fireplace and comfortable king size bed. Amenities included reusable water bottles, a good tea and coffee selection, wine glasses, a mini fridge, good snacks/wine for purchase, plush throws,and robes (we had to request the latter which was likely an oversight). The layout is a little unusual in that you walk through the bathroom area to get to the bedroom and dining room. There were no drawers anywhere -- just a closet for storage.||The hotel property has several comfortable places to sit, a rooftop pool and bar, exercise room, restaurant (meal credit was given, which we used for breakfast). Parking can be difficult downtown and the valet was $40/night to park at the hotel. The staff were attentive and always very nice.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Hotel Cerro, and I can’t recommend it highly enough! From the moment I arrived, the front desk staff Lindsay, Jen, and Ivon made me feel incredibly welcome. They were not only super friendly but also provided fantastic recommendations for things to do around town. Their helpfulness truly enhanced my experience. The room was absolutely stunning, and the hotel amenities were beautifully designed, adding a lovely touch to my stay. I felt like I was in a little paradise! I also have to give a shoutout to the bartenders. They were amazing and truly know how to mix a drink! Plus, the food was so delicious it should be illegal. Every bite was a delight. Overall, my stay at Hotel Cerro was fantastic, and I wish I could just move there! If you’re looking for a wonderful getaway, this is the place to be.

We had an amazing experience working with the team at Hotel Cerro for our VIP event. They were incredibly accommodating and professional. Our VIP guests loved the rooms and the atmosphere. We will be using Hotel Cerro for many more upcoming events! Thank you!

The staff was incredible, truly above and beyond. The service was equivalent to staying at the Four Seasons. Super clean. Spa was amazing. Food was incredible. I forgot my phone charger and every night they would bring me one to use. Great location.

Overall a great stay! Location is within walking distance of anything you could need/want. The garden with the fireplace is a great place to have a late night sip and good convo - very quiet and relaxing. The rooms are beautiful and spacious, but the balcony tiny lol. The staff at the front desk and valet were fantastic - very friendly and made us feel welcomed. I do want to highlight the bartender at the pool bar. Ally is her name, I believe (sorry if I got it wrong). Not only did she make the most DELICIOUS drinks, but she also recommended the fig and pig pizza and it was SO GOOD. We ended up ordering a spicy margarita, 5 "spa days" (seriously, best piña colada type drink that I've EVER had and I don't care for coconut anything), the fig and pig pizza and chips and guac (the chips are fried fresh!). The pool area is a great place to chill, sip some drinks and snack on good food from the restaurant within the hotel. We will ABSOLUTELY be back here for another girl's weekend!

Beautiful hotel in the heart of SLO. The hotel is very upscale with a wonderful lounge area and a good attached restaurant and bar. The room is contemporary, large and clean. The bathroom was over the top. The staff was friendly and helpful. A wonderful stay.
