Check in was smooth and the host was pleasant. It has a great location. Coffee (complimentary) is available at all or most hours and the breakfast of fresh baked goods is decent. The grounds are well maintained and very pleasant. A nice, comfortable stay.

I gave this property a very high rating and itnis because for the price you pay this is as good as it gets. The rooms are certainly older so they have their wear, but the pool and hot tub are very nice and the property while maybe not updated is well kept, the service is nice, and they have coffee, cereal, snd assorrwd breads in the office in the morning. It is also right next to tbe freeway and not too far from Newport Beach.

The room was clean and the staff were nice. Loved that the rooms had hard floors instead of carpet. It was an older property and had that older hotel smell, and it’s been a while since the rooms had been painted from the wear and tear. They are doing some sort of renovation with some beds and furniture out in the parking area. Great location with walking distance to both food or grocery. Felt like they were doing their best with an older property, and for the budget conscious it is convenient and a good value.

Property grounds were beautiful and well kept. The rooms were nice, the bathroom was clean but it could use a revamp. Stayed here because it was close to The Observatory (went for a concert) and for the price I paid, I would 100% stay here again.

The staff was amazing. The rooms not so much. AC was horrible, the room was 100% smoked in regularly. The walls were dirty. The ceiling was dirty. Old curtains and bedspread. I do not recommend.

The receptionists were courteous & attended to all of our needs. The room was average.. needs to be cleaned & a new paint job is sorely needed. Otherwise, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Vagabond Inn.. Will definitely stay there again. Thank you for accommodating us!

Convenient right off the freeway, but that was about it. Rooms were poor, beds hard, towels thin, bathroom grimey, bedspread had burn holes, floorboards buckling. Our first room smelled like vomit, so we requested another room. At least the second room smelled like mid-eastern cooked vegetables.

Slow checking, poor service, noisy, police were arresting some drug addicts, construction on adjacent rooms! They should shut this hotel and give it a remodel from top to bottom! Then get new management!
