I stay in hotels in this neighborhood often throughout the year for many years for work. I stay at the Hilton Garden, Larkspur Landing and Best Western all excellent well maintained businesses, Motel 6's in the neighborhood have been hot and cold usually maintenance related issues like no hot water. Vagabond is a poorly maintained property, interior and exterior, this was my first and last time staying. The final insult was the room charge was exorbitant since all other hotels were sold out due to a NVidia conference.

Basic

The curtain didn’t close complete cause it was damaged at the very top. Someone else left their clothes folded in drawer (take that however way you want to…I see it as a customer not being thorough, rather than maid service .. whatever). Everything was pretty basic . There was a fridge and microwave. Fridge gets really cold. My boiled eggs froze but not my can sodas. Laundry room was closed but they had a washer and dryer outside the door. 2 bucks for either load. I would say the best thing was the dennys next door and the mini plazas (including lucky) a few blocks away. Fast food joints everywhere. You’re right next to a gas station too and there’s usually a taco truck there. All in all it was good. Basic with a few trimmings here and there.

The bed was terrible. The bed had a sheet and a blanket that had a million cigarette holes in it. The bed cover was some cheap crap from who knows where. The bathroom had no fan, the faucet was dirty. The heater / air unit had 20 year dirt and dust on it. The room was cold.Everytime someone flushed a toilet you could hear it for 30 sec or more downstairs or on the upstairs floor.. For 76.00 it was a fkn slum. Stay away from the Vagabond hotel on Mathilda ave in S'vale ca.

Overall, decent value for money.

Staff were nice, maid service was attentive once checked in and were friendly. However, room was not properly cleaned before arrival. Property is older, has been remodeled at some point but needs new interior paint and carpeting. Quiet stay, and decent value for money in a convenient area.
