Clean room and friendly staff. It was an okay room for a price I wouldn’t usually pay for. Good for last minute bookings in the area without overpricing.

The Vagabond was average value for the price. The air conditioning was good. They had a laundry on site for the guests. The staff were kind and available.
Staff was friendly and gave good advice on where the locals go , good places to eat and beach near by . However I would’ve like to have a microwave in the room since it is a small town and not a lot of late night places open or nearby to eat .
The staff was friendly . The only thing when checking in the person asked if anyone else was staying with me in solo trip and that got me worried but overall I felt safe and view of front desk if need anything everyone was helpful
The property is really a bargain for the coastal area. The property is a bit dated and could use some updating. The location is great right off the 101 FWY. Parking was excellent.
This propery has been remodeled. The room had a modern contemporary design which I appreciated. Simple decor, and clean. No elevators though. It had sufficient parking near the room. Coffee available in the office. I liked it. Would stay here again. AC worked great.
This used to be a Motel 6, but now it’s rebranded to be a Vagabond Inn. Same color scheme, just a different name. No frills, a room, a pretty decent pool, right next to the freeway. There are plenty of dining options within a 5 minute drive.
The room smelled like cigarette smoke when we arrived. We were able to air it out for a few hours and it got better. Our room faced the freeway and it was very loud. The bed was comfy, the bathroom was spacious. There was only 1 bath towel in the room, the rest were hand towels. We asked for more towels and they gave us multiple hand and floor towels, so that was strange. But we felt safe and we liked that it was very dog friendly. Probably won’t stay here again, but it worked for what we needed.
