Filthy

Every room had a door mat outside that looked like they had been chewed up by a dog. Once in the room I could see daylight under the door. There was at least a half inch gap. The night lock on the door was loose and not secure. The floors felt gritty and dirty. There was dry rot in the bathroom and paint peeling off the walls. This place should not be allowed on Hotels.com. In need of a major makeover.

Second stay here! When I return to an accommodation, its usually because of the staff! The Vagabond Buttonwillow is no exception! From the GM, Kathy and George and Stephanie- such an award winning and friendly team! A great location for me when working outside of LA, and such a pleasant and accommodating staff- why wouldnt anyone stay here. The free coffee and breakfast is not advertised on line, but is always a nice added touch. Some may say " its only waffles and cereal", I say " what are you complaining about its a free extra value built into the already low price! If you want bigger varierty, Starbucks is 2 blocks away. The pool is nice and clean and enjoyable too. Great place!

The hotel is very conveniently ppaced next to the 5. A few chain restsurants around and some decently priced gas. Being close to the 5 it is a bit noisy but the rooms do a decent job of blocking out the sound. Safe spot, lots of CHP rolling through at a pretty regular place. If youre just looking for a cheap spot to stay on a long road trip this place is perfect.
