Angel, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Not easy to access on Friday Sat night

There homeless living in the parking lot, people wandering parking lot all night that are questionable, traffic from inn and out makes Friday Sat night traffic jams to get in, room is very dated. Mattress is good but pillows are worthless. Shower bathroom are very dated but work ok. Lot of noise from in out burger till 1am. Price dictates what you get.
Tim, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

I stayed in this property since it looks nice from outside. However, rooms look outdated, and property needs some renovation.
Erick Manuel, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Too much noise from the next door. Body wash and shampoo only enough for one person, the room too dark and too small
NGUYEN, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Property grounds were beautiful and well kept. The rooms were nice, the bathroom was clean but it could use a revamp. Stayed here because it was close to The Observatory (went for a concert) and for the price I paid, I would 100% stay here again.
Jennifer, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The place is perfect if you just need a place to sleep. Beware there’s no AC.
Maria, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Accommodations actually exceeded my expectations. Except for the TV not working everything else was acceptable. The front desk was told about the TV but nothing was done
Joseph, 6-night trip

2/10 Poor

It was dirty and loud. Never going back. Perfect for a cheap night out.
Bradley, 4-night trip

jasmine, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

The walls had knife holes in them. The curtains were torn and looked like they had also been damaged by a knife. There was damage to the front door that looked like someone attempted to repair. I do not recommend staying here!!!
Keith, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The receptionists were courteous & attended to all of our needs. The room was average.. needs to be cleaned & a new paint job is sorely needed. Otherwise, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Vagabond Inn.. Will definitely stay there again. Thank you for accommodating us!
