I have to admit that the room was fine...although I did not get the Queen size bed they advertised. And, I probably won't stay there again....they pulled a bait and switch on us. I confirmed my arrival and the price online and after staying the one night was informed that there was a mistake on the price and they were not going to honor the confirmed price. It was only a $10 difference but it's the principle. When I complained upon check-out that I would be reporting them to the BBB and their corporate office, they reduced the price by $5. I still intend to report them because they used unfair practices. If I had been informed of the price from the beginning, I would have at least had a choice - as it was, I was committed to staying. I believe once you have confirmed a price it should be honored, no and's or but's about it. Don't offer a 10% Manager special if it's a lie. Let the buyer beware!

I had stayed at the Reno Vagabond Inn and found it quite satisfactory. Unfortunately the Vagabond in Long Beach has a run-down feel to it. The location is OK, it's a short walk to the Passport Shuttle which provides a free ride to downtown and runs frequently. The rooms are large. My bed was fine. There is a high level of street & neighborhood noise which is especially unpleasant late at night. The swimming pool is miniscule and I never saw anyone using it in the five days I stayed there. There are a few dismal pastries put out as a form of breakfast, and the coffee is always very weak. This last shows the mentality of the operation as it could not cost them more than another $1-2 per day to make full strength coffee.Next time I'll try Travelodge which is in the same neighborhood but looks considerably nicer.

The hotel was a motel. It does not have a restaurant, bar, blow dryers, or coffee makers. It is located on a extremely busy street and right next to a gas station. After a very exhausting day, could not get any sleep for all the noise. Was a complete disappointment. I would not recommend it nor would I ever stay there again.
