MADONNA INN ✴
The Madonna Inn is a motel in San Luis Obispo. Opened for business in 1958, it quickly became a landmark on the Central Coast of California. It is noted for its unique decor, pink dining room, and themed rooms. It was created by Alex Madonna, a successful construction magnate and entrepreneur, and his wife Phyllis. The inn includes a restaurant and bakery, and is located on the west side of US Route 101 and situated on the lower eastern portion of Cerro San Luis Obispo.
FACTS
A 1994 episode of The Simpsons entitled "Grandpa vs. Sexual Inadequacy" features a hotel based on the Madonna Inn, which, among other similarities, also contains a Caveman Room.
“Weird Al” Yankovic’s 1978 song "Take Me Down" mentions the Madonna Inn's famous urinal (erroneously referred to as "toilets"), as well as other local landmarks such as Pismo Beach, Hearst Castle, Bubblegum Alley, and Morro Rock.
The music video for Grimes’ 2015 song “Flesh Without Blood/Life in The Vivid Dream" was filmed there.
The promotional video for Lady Antebellum’s seventh album Heart Break (2017) was filmed there, with unique rooms at the inn being used as a different theme for each song on the album.
