My 2 teens and I stayed one night while college touring April 2007. Not sure why this hotel is just 1 star (reason I gave it above average rating). Hotel wasn't luxury (wasn't expecting luxury)-- but it was clean, decent furniture, fridge, microwave, newer TV, coffee maker, and iron in the room. Nice heated pool and hot tub. A litle... more

Very happy with this hotel. Staff on front desk very helpful and friendly. Room was clean and bed very comfortable. The heated pool was great. The hotel is right next door to the Madonna Inn which you must go and have a look at and maybe have a drink or dinner there - it is the most amazing place. more

My experience was horrible here! One of the major employee's there was very rude and disrespectful. The furniture was not clean at all! I was not at all treated as a guest or paying customer!I cancelled my reservation after a few nights, and switched to Best Western which is fabulous! more

Enjoyed this motel very much. The room was clean, the beds were comfortable, and the pool was nice and clean. Friendly helpful staff. more

We stayed one Friday night at the Vagabond and we were pleasantly surprised. The hotel was very quiet all night long and the bed was very comfortable. All in all, a nice stay. I would recommend to anyone. more

Both outside and inside smelled, carpets not cleaned in years, sofa bed so dirty you were afriad to sit on it! Rude clerk would not honor early check-in promised. If there was any place else in town at the last minute, we... more

We stayed here for 1 night in the first week of June 04. During our 3 week trip to America this was the cheapest (less than $60 inc tax) of all the hotels/motels we stayed in and to be honest we were not expecting much at all. However, on our arrival we were pleasantly suprised. The room was a reasonable... more

Stay here was wonderful. Staff is very friendly and goes out of way to accomadate you, and even entertainingly funny. While an older motel, it is clean, quiet, and located within walking distance to a wide variety of resturauntes, shops and even a park for the kids. Quick 10 minute drive to Pismo Beach. The pool was crystal clear and... more

Stayed here on our way to San Jose. The room was quite dark and not as bright and large as other Vagabonds that we had stayed in. It was quite small to accommodate 5 people. It was very clean and in a nice location. Good pool area. Breakfast was very good. Staff were helpful. Ideal location opposite shopping mall. Next... more
