I know this sounds like some kind of gay fantasy, but I just need to share this with you guys. You have to check out the men’s restroom at the Madonna Inn in San Luis Obispo.

When I lived in Santa Cruz, California, I drove by the Madonna Inn many times on my way to visit my family in LA.

I always said I would stop and see what this place is about.

I never did. Once I graduated college, I thought I would plan a meet up between me and my BFFs from Santa Cruz to meet and just drink, smoke, and do decadent shit for the weekend. 

The issue is the price. At least back then, prices at the Madonna Inn were $300 per night and up. Not something I could afford.

I looked at their website and planned. I hoped that one day I could rent a couple of rooms for everyone.

The Rooms at The Madonna Inn

The Madonna Inn has themed rooms. It’s quirky, and I LOVE quirky.

There are cave themed rooms, forest-themed rooms, rock-themed rooms, honeymoon suites where everything is pink. The place is so funky, and every room is different.

So I was surprised when my partner decided we needed to take a trip to San Luis Obispo by train and stay walking distance to the Madonna Inn.

I actually didn’t remember the Madonna Inn was here. As we checked in to our Hilton hotel, the concierge informed us that the closest restaurant is at the Inn.

It took me a few minutes to realize she was talking about the one and only Madonna Inn I drove by multiple times a year.

So We Had Dinner at the Madonna Inn

Surprised that they were open during the pandemic, I immediately told my partner we have to eat at the Madonna Inn. 

We made reservations and walked on over.

The menu is gigantic but pretty basic.

The Madonna Inn did not have indoor restaurants open at the time. In fact, they converted their parking lot into an outdoor dining experience.

It was very functional and well done.

To our surprise, the place was bustling with locals eating out. Thank goodness we made a reservation. 

We ordered a cocktail. I got a Sidecar and ordered a steak salad. My partner got a chicken dish and a spiked punch.

Even though I wasn’t super impressed with the restaurant part of the hotel, I really just wanted to have an excuse to roam around the premises and check out the men’s restroom.

I rushed through my salad and cocktail like it was Christmas day, and I need to open my presents as soon as possible.

After my cocktail and several conversations, I decided I “needed to use the restroom.”

I told my partner that the restroom is supposed to be some elaborate, ornately decorated cave or something, and I must take pictures.

On to the Men’s Restroom I went

I excused myself from the table and made my way through the outdoor restaurant.

Upon entering the Madonna Inn, I was stunned at how different and cute the entire place is.

The overly ornate carpet is quirky and fun. The extreme decore and plants on the ceilings were too much, but exactly as I expected.

As I made my descent into the Madonna Inn’s basement, I began to see walls made of faux rock.

There was a gift shop to my right and a sign to the men’s restroom that pointed left.

Directly in front of me was a cave. A cave big enough for one person and a gum ball machine. Of course, I had to enter this cave.

I took a picture and off I went to the restroom.

The Madonna Inn’s men’s restroom looks like a cave. Their urinal is one big open space where men congregate, whip out their dicks, and just have a pissing contest. Except I was the only one there. But in my mind, this is what happens when I’m not around.

Or if you’re into water sports, someone can just lay inside the urinal, and the rest is history. But, I’m pretty sure this was a fantasy of mine.

The double sinks also have a rock formation. However, they almost looked like giant half oysters on top of rocks. It was interesting.

Although I noticed only half the restroom was like this. The other half consisted of toilet stalls that all had a wooden door. They seemed out of place and too basic for this restroom.

I entered a stall, but it was just a basic toilet. I really wanted it to be some natural-looking koi pond where you poop. Alas, it was not.

Back at the Dinner Table

As I got back, we pay the bill, and my partner decides he wants to take a look around.

Since we’re technically paid customers of the hotel, we were allowed to look around.

We checked out their bar area. They had a couple of closed indoor restaurants and a bakery. 

The bakery had a line of people waiting for their delicious pie.

I took many pictures because even though we didn’t stay at this hotel, it literally made my weekend.

Let me break it down for you:

If you’re ever in San Luis Obispo, go to the Madonna Inn for lunch. Don’t go for the food. Go for the quirky hotel. The food is just okay.

Also, the men’s restroom at the Madonna Inn is worth the pit stop. Its rock-themed.

Here is their website, just in case.

PS. They have a Tesla supercharging station in the parking lot.
