Good: Helpful staff, good location and nice pool and spa! Bad: The room was smelly and there were a few spiders in the restroom and room as well!

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.

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 place is perfect if you just need a place to sleep. Beware there’s no AC.

Don’t stay here. The place is a dump. Floors were dirty when I checked in. Staff is rude. Housekeepers are very nice though.

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.
Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025

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!

Stayed 1 night in May 2025

Although the price was decent, the room was extremely dirty. The walls and floor had not been cleaned. A regular maintenance was apparent, but nothing more. The room we stayed in was extremely smoke filled. We asked for a new room, only to be placed in a room without a working AC unit.
