    Don’t let the look of the outside fool you

    WE LOVED IT !
    The service was the only area that needed attention. We booked the Yosemite Rock room and it was as awesome as promised. You are close to all amenities but Madonna Inn pretty much has everything you might need. We booked Yosemite because of close proximity to pool and spa.…

    Hello, i would like to stay for my birthday but i will be traveling with my service dog. she is a 7lb chihuahua. Does the hotel allow service animals?
    Ditto on previous response. Call Madonna Inn directly. That place is way cool and would be an excellent Birthday venue (as my friend who took me there said his mother always went here on her Birthday). Best wishes.
