Clean room. Plenty of parking. Dated building but they keep it clean, and for the price, value, there is no room to complain. It’s a bargain. Close to freeway and plenty of food options close by.

Vagabond is not the safest nor friendly place to rest in. They got to invest in remodeling this. From in and out. What's in chock was how much mold has the AC abd furniture, me from having asthma i can't be around that and breath in me, i think it goes for everyone right. Who wants to breath in to a bubble of mold!

The place is in a good location. However, the doors are not installed properly so there’s gaps around the doors and there’s lots of light and noise. It comes in from the outside from the freeway that sits right outside the hotel. The toilet was also running all night. I went to several rooms and all of them had running toilets that would make noise all night. The staff in the front are also very unfriendly. But it is an affordable option if you are on a budget.

The location to everything is very convenient. The room is spacious but the smell of cigarettes was a bit strong and the bed with any movement made lots of squeaky noises. For the price we paid this was a great deal.

Another great stay at his Vagabond. My room was spotless and completely renovated. Everything is new including the large refrigerator and the microwave. Special thanks to the maintenance crew for helping me with my TV. Front office is very friendly and efficient. This is your best bet to stay for a very good price.
