Great pool area and location. It has many food options in walking distance. The rooms are run down bedding has burn marks and stains, towels stained and fridge was full of mold. Room also smelled musty and moldy. Good price and pool with In n Out burger in parking lot.

The hotel is old and run down. The outside and pool is nice.
Always the friendly staff here is what keeps me coming back. Very accommodating and have upgraded me for no extra cost before and always remember me personally and my physical ability needs when choosing my room. Such a key part of he great customer service here
Roaches, walls dirty. We didn’t stay more than 10 minutes while called another hotel for a reservation and left. They did give a refund and didn’t argue about it at all. Front desk staff was very nice and helpful.
Great Location for my events. Staff very friendly and helpful! Enjoyed the room and amenities. Quiet also.

The staff at the Vagabond Inn Costa Mesa is really what you pay for. They're the most personable and reliable and reasonable as well as efficient and with a smile and a laugh or two. Those kinds of things go along way when you're trying to just get into a safer place for an evening. You won't ever feel unwelcome or unequal here. If that is what you're looking for, the most at-home-like and comfortable vibe you could ever get nowadays from any hotel or motel staff anywhere in the OC.
We loved the pool. the depth the hours and the cleanliness. The only suggestion I have is to have a real breakfast. Some scrambled eggs bacon and or sausage. Also add a bell to the office door or at the desk upon entering the office to help travelers avoid having to call office to get someone to come out and assist. All else. Was great. Thank you.
This is a great place to stay great location around restaurants and you’re the freeway nice quiet family, friendly safe hotel decent price at friendly staff. What’s the parking space safe parking Neice and Clean inside and out that easy system is questionable. I like to stay here often.
