The room was bigger than we expected. The bathroom was also big, updated, and it was all super clean. It was so much nicer than I expected. I would stay there again 1000%.
It was a bit noisy when we went were trying to sleep. In all fairness we are old and it is a family friendly place to stay. It didn’t last very long.

This is basically a couple driveways down from the famous Madonna Inn, but I'm sure it's much more affordable. Despite that, my room was excellent; everything I tried seemed to work, bed was comfortable, room itself was large enough and staff was very nice. The Denny's next door provided 10 percent off when showing room key, which was appreciated. Convenient location off Highway 101.
Wish I could've stayed longer.

I absolutly love this Hotel..!!!! It is family owned.. The same guy helps me everytime.. Comes out with a big smile.. The rooms are always immaculate and smell fresh when I walk in. They return the deposit to my card in a timley manner. There is a Shell gas station and a Denny's right down the driveway walking takes 3min.. The room is always stocked with plenty of towels body wash ect.. I can't say enough about this place.. Very affordable and cozy.. I stay here a couple times a week and I dont go anywhere else.. Can't wait for the hot weather so I can enjoy the pool.
Nothing bad to say.. All good..!!!

Reception was attentive and welcoming. The room was clean and comfortable, parking abundant, easy access to the room. Amenities were great, from the microwave, fridge and tv to the provided (environmentally responsible) soap dispensers in the bathroom and at the - in bedroom - sink. A park (including 'off the leash' spacious dog section) is present within walking distance (takes probably 5 minutes to walk to the park which includes some type of driving range set up as well, bring your own gear). The Denny's next door provides great service and meals (although very little to no vegetarian) against a 10% discount. An extensive shopping mall with grocery store is just across from the Inn on Madonna Road. Very pleasant experience.
There is really no criticism of substance applicable. If one would want to improve on the experience, it probably would be that the sink is in the bedroom. If someone gets up early, brushing teeth etc. will disrupt the resting parties sleep. Perhaps a partial room divider would help.

The staff is super nice friendly checking in was very quick as was checking out. We needed a few extra towels in later in the evening and they even went ahead and brought them to the room instead of making me go down to get them in the cold. Very happy with this hotel we stay there every time were traveling thru there we don't even try to look at any other hotel this is a great value for how nice it is and it's in the ideal location it close to a grocery store along with many different fast food as well as sit down restaurant and other shopping stores as well. Most recommend hotel in the area in my opinion
I don't have any negative to say and I've stayed there over 6 different times throughout the year this past year and every experience has been the same lovely so I have NO NEGATIVE FEEDBACK from me.

Good value. Hotel is not fancy, not upscale, in fact it is an ordinary old style hotel, but it is clean (interiors updated) and for the price it mets my needs- clean, affordable, no problems. I've stayed several times for one quick night passing though. Something nicer is way more money and something cheaper is yucky.
It's old, it's ordinary and boring, but hey for the price compared to other places in town I can't complain. If you want a resort to hang out in, or you want something to be proud of, skip it. If you want a clean room with no frills without emptying your wallet it's worth it.

The room had everything I needed for a short stay. Microwave, refrigerator, hair dryer, ironing board. Coffee, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, air conditioner, swimming pool. The location was very convenient to stores, restaurants, and airport
The bed was a little hard for my liking. There was a lot of noise coming from rooms nearby. Never heard voices but a lot of banging and what sounded like moving of furniture or possibly slamming doors. A couple of times it shook my room. Not sure if this was guest's or staff.

It was a good spot that was close to the shopping centers, food locations, the beaches. I liked the outlook of the room we stayed in. The beds were clean and comfortable. I really liked how the floor was wood floor and not carpet, you can tell the place was renovated I will definitely be coming back with the family. It is easy and quick to check in. They have plenty of parking. Right in front of dennys and many other places.
The only thing I could think of is that the restroom was a little dirty like there was a little bit of other individuals hair in the bathtub ( it’s not the only hotel ) Besides that everything else was perfectly fine about it tbh I liked it.

I always enjoy the location of where it was, across the street from restaurants, shopping stores, and a grocery store. I also enjoyed how clean the facilities is that’s why we always come back to stay at this facility because it’s all new and remodeled as well for a pretty good price, we did also get to enjoy the hot tub because the weather was perfect for it i. The evening, so thank you for giving us another great stay.
The only thing was one of the mattress covers was dirty, from someone who previously stayed there with a pet. But the staff attended to it and changed the cover right away.

The Vagabond Inn is in a very good location! There are plenty of restaurant options, lots of stores to browse, and it's very easy to get around town or hop on the freeway.
We travelled with our small dog, and while this is a pet friendly establishment, I could not find a notice of how much it would cost to have my dog with me ($25.00 USD per night, per dog). I wouldn't have shied away seeing that listed, it just would have been nice to know before we arrived. Also, the drain in our bathroom sink had a very strange smell every time we turned the water on.
