Poolside furniture was ripped or shredded looking. Warm enough water for showering only lasted a few minutes and then turned cold. Outdoor covered seating area for meals was nice! Behind the laundry room. We used it for dinner for three nights.

Nice enough. We stay here a lot. Shower was cold but later hot. I guess it’s shared with so many others. Towels too small. Everyone is lovely.

Uncomfortable showers

Service was friendly and helpful. Issue is with lack of comfort due to lukewarm to cool water in the shower. We each took showers twice each day,, and every time water was turned all the way to hot setting but can only manage to be warm at best and turned cool within a couple minutes. The water temperature was consistently bad. Never experienced such poor water temperature.

I've stayed here several times in the past and had no problems, this last time however due to New Management, there was no hot water for showers because the broiler was broken and they couldn't get anybody out to repair it they offered me 20% discount after purchasing three rooms for the night. Not only that Expedia made me look like a fool when I purchased these rooms about 6 months ago and paid for them and how to receipt showing I paid for them. Then showing up to find out that Expedia never charged my card yet showed me a receipt that I had paid in advance. Something Expedia needs to update in their system letting people know that their card hasn't been charged. And I'm assuming this is because the new management that doesn't charge it until you get there because previous times that I've stayed here it has been charged through Expedia with no problems only paying property tax when I get to the property. When you're camping for 4 days and you're spending your last night in a hotel to recover and take a nice hot shower it made for terrible experience thanks to Expedia and thanks to Vagabond Hotel. I blame the owners of the hotel and not the employees working the employees working were very nice and helpful the whole time.

This place is a gem. We rented two rooms. Both were VERY clean and the beds were so comfortable and had nice linens and quality pillows. The Vagabond is our new go-to lodging when we stay in Bishop.
