My husband and I stayed for two nights with our dogs. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. We loved the location. Plenty of opportunity to explore on foot. Continental breakfast was not bad and we especially appreciated the coffee and hot cocoa available 24/7. The train wasn't a big deal at all. Overall we were very pleased with our... more

This motel could have been so much better than it was. It had lots of parking, free continental breakfast, an attached restaurant, a heated pool, and decent sized rooms. Even so it came up short in two areas, one small and one great. While the room looked like it been redecorated within the last few years (newish carpet, tile, wallpaper,... more

We stayed two nights at the Vagabond Inn in Ventura and were very happy with the stay. The room was large and well equipped. The train does run right behind the hotel but the train runs all along the coast of California so we were aware there would be train noise. The front desk people were very friendly and the... more

My wife and I stayed 4 nights while motorhome was being serviced. They allowed our 2 cats to stay with us @ no charge. There is a restaurant on the premises that is great for breakfast. We did not try it for lunch or dinner. Directly behind the property is a pedestrian bridge across the freeway (could not hear the... more

After a long day of driving California's magnificent Pacific coast highway, the Vagabond was a welcome refuge, with a pool, a restaurant and walkable access to the beach. Yes, the Amtrak mainline runs behind the building (for those of us who are railfans that can be a distinct plus). Yes, the overall design evokes a 1970s road-trip. Yes, the walls... more

My husband and I were lucky enough to have scored a room on a Saturday night for a quick getaway from LA to the beach. After being stuck in traffic for over two hours, we arrived at the Vagabond, cracked up at the 60's cheesyness, but agreed it looked fresh and clean. We checked into our room, immediately suited up... more

The Front Desk Clerk was so rude , unprofessional and confrontational that it seemed like I was on "Candid Camera". more

We waited too long to book a place and ended up here as a last resort when everything else, all the way up to Goleta, was booked. The check-in clerk was helpful and friendly. The room (2-queens) was spacious and looked relatively clean till we took the covers off the beds and noticed pubic hair on the blankets. The carpet,... more

Nothing special, but affordable and the location is great. Just a few blocks from Downtown and the Pier. The only problem that was to be had, was that we belong to their promotional program of stay 10 nights and get the 11th night free. We had misplaced the paper that had to be signed by the desk clerk and asked... more
