We have stayed at other Vagaband Inns in the past..We stayed at this motel on Saturday. I saw an unconsious woman been dragged into a room (drunk?) I woke up on Sunday with whelts on my arms, legs, and face. I have to say, we were in a rush so we had no time to research this place or make... more

First of all, I usually stay in cheap places so I know there's a compromise you must make on what to expect, but what we experienced was unacceptable even for a discount stay: We booked the cheaper room here to save some $$, but we ended up having to pay more because of their mistake. I requested a wheelchair accessible... more

OK, I know you get what you pay for, but this hotel has got to be the worst places I've ever been to. The rooms were cramped, dirty, thin-walled, and the beds were super hard and uncomfortable. During the night, we could hear everything our neighbors were doing (shouting, jumping around, arguing, watching TV, coughing, etc.). At one point, the... more

The people who own this hotel are the worst hosts I have come across in my 2 months in the US. They offer breakfast from 8am-10am. The coffee isn't ready until nearly 9am and there is no breakfast. There is no coffee maker in the room. The blankets and bedding smelt of cigarette smoke even though they say all the... more

This place gives 1 star motels a bad name. Wow. Stayed here a few months ago and the guys running the place had horrible attitudes. The room looks decent upon first glance, as does the exterior of the place, but first impressions are deceiving. There were stains all over the place, the carpet was dark dark green to cover up... more

I guess what you pay is what you get. I was just looking for a non-expensive place to sleep at and it was not as great as I thought it would be. The room lighting was not very good (lamp didn't work), the bathroom was very small, and the room did not seem all that clean. Late at night (about... more

I stayed with two friends at the Vagabond Inn in South Lake Tahoe over the Easter week'd since we went skiing in Heavenly. The reception staff was quite unfriendly and lazy. Even we did pay for three people, it took several requests from us to get a third towel. The carpet in the room had several large stains and the... more

This is the cleanest hotel I have stayed in around South Lake Tahoe. The rooms are clean. The sheets are clean and not threadbare, the staff is courteous. I booked the room and said there is only 1 person staying. When 4 of us showed up, they just told us to keep the noise down and we there would be... more

Super cheap hotel - great valuie for money. Excellant position to the heavebly gondola (tip - gondala is busy so worth taking the California Lodge chair if you are there for the snow!) Clean, Basic, a little dated but who cares when you are only there to sleep! Maid service every day and clean towels. Very hot spa - which... more
