It was not safe and easy. A knife was pulled on me in the parking lot as I was walking across the street to the gas station. The breakfast is all bread items. Tons of gluten and processed sugar.

Service was excellent. The pool was nice. The weather was hot and the airconditioning placed by the beds so it had to been turned off for the night…. The price was excellent for our stay.

This older property provides basic overnight accomodations at a budget price which includes a simple breakfast. The room was stark but clean with a microwave and minifridge. A variety of fast food and other restaurants are within walking distance. The area is a bit noisy due to local traffic but not intolerable. If you're looking for a lot of amenities, this would not be your first choice. However, if you're looking for a clean, conveniently located, reasonably priced motel, this would definitely qualify.

I hope this helps :) 8/10 good rating.
From the outside it may feel a bit deceptive, but once I stepped into my room I was truly surprised on how maintained and clean the place was, I had good customer service as well! For my first time ever experience, I was truly over all happy to see that looks don’t do it justice, be aware you’re getting what you pay for so that’s why I feel like I have to say that is was aware and to my surprise I was met with a pretty chill environment!

Overall the staff didn't bug too much which was excellent, the room has things missing from it. Like a way to contact front desk. The showers are pretty outdated, and the pillow they supplied was 1/4 of a pillow. The front desk people were great, this stay included a breakfast which was also good. Waffles .. which you have a choice of cereals also . Overall 3 ½ out of 5

Staff has the best customer service I have ever received. Specially front desk, by far best customer service.
But vagabond inn needs to update their rooms. Rooms look dirty, not saying it’s not clean. But dirty smudges all over the wall, furniture missing drawers. Plus when I was inside my room I got locked in. I had to call the front desk about my room how I’m locked in. I requested for another room. I was giving worse room of course I wasn’t locked in. Door did open and locked

Not the best area
The staff was helpful, the cleaning tram will come bye and check to see if you need anything. But you have to pay for ice, snd time you want ice you have to pay. You have to pay for both washer and dryer, quite expensive washing clothes there. At night its very noisy not a good neighborhood at all, you hear people yelling and fighting, cars pulling into the parking area right outside people getting out fighting with others in the motel rooms before spending off loudly. Make you feel unsafe to walk outside for anything.

Lots of transient homeless people around the parking lot. Bright light in the room from businesses nearby. Liquors store and 7-11 nearby brings lots of bright lights and activity. The room had a good air conditioner which was good white noise. The fridge had a leak, but I didn’t stay long so for $40 for the night it was okay.
