It was Move In weekend for Cal Poly, so hotel rooms were at a premium. The Vagabond Inn was conveniently located, near the freeway and downtown. The Inn itself is old and dated, but adequate. We checked in and then met friends to go out to dinner. Upon returning to our room, we discovered, the door ajar and the room... more

We stayed here for one night driving from LA to San Francisco. The room was dark and the beds were okay but at least it was quiet. The pool and hot tub were great and thoroughly enjoyed. The breakfast the next day was very disappointing. No choice and seating area to eat. It was almost as if they couldn't wait... more

Truth is, I did not stay with them.....Only booked with them. I had to cancel with them due to a family emergency. I called to cancel with them a week before my check-in date. I got a guy on the phone who took my information and "tried" to cancel my reservation. At that point, he said that the system was... more

This was a terrible experience! My wife and I have stayed at the Vagabond motel in Los Banos, California, before, and assumed that this Vagabond (in San Luis Obispo) would be a good experience. It went bad when we learned of a family problem the morning of our arrival, and called the motel to cancel out reservation. The manager was... more

We are sorry for your experience at Vagabond Inn. We are sorry for your unfortunate situation, but whenever a guests books a reservation they are told about the cancellation policy. Our cancellation policy states that the guest must cancel the reservation 24hours in advance to avoid a charge. Further, we did speak to the manager in charge.

Good sized room for four people including table and chairs and plenty of storage. We had a rollaway bed and still had plenty of space. We paid $77 for 4 of us which included wireless access and breakfast which consisted of coffee and pastries. The room was clean and had a coffee maker, iron and ironing board and a large... more

On January 27, 2009, I went online and made a reservation for June 12 – June 14, the weekend my son was expected to graduate from Cal Poly. I used my Credit Card to hold the reservation. Shortly thereafter, I received an email confirmation defining the payment policy for Graduation Weekend. "Payment must be made in full by Check or... more

I had absolutely no problems at this hotel. The staff was friendly, the front desk was helpful. The room was very quiet and very clean. I love the big window in front. The pool area was very nice and I could see it from my room. There are so many things next door and across the street... Dennys, IHOP, Starbucks,... more

I booked a four night stay for my brother via an on-line hotel site. Pre-paid $300. My brother, who had no credit card of his own, arrived and "Ben" behind the desk told him he had to have a credit card in his name to leave a security deposit of $25. "Ben" refused to speak with me - even though... more

We stayed here as part of a west coast road trip to break up the Highway 1 drive and for this purpose and for what we paid (around £30 for the night) found it more than adequate: The room was clean and had everything we needed and the location is very convenient to the highway and there is an iHop... more
