Sleeping on a park bench would have been cleaner

When we first arived the initial room we were given the door would not open after a few attemots with different cards. We were given a second room and smelt like cigarette smoke and mold. What looked to be blood splatter on the front door and floor. People living in their vehicle in the parking lot doing drugs and flying kites. Definitely did not feel like a safe environment for myself let alone anyone at all. Bathroom had rust and mold all over and the bedding was stained as well as the ironing board. Once the manager checked the room we had he fluffed the pillows to make it look like no one had ever been in there. I was given a refund but charged a $10 cleaning fee.

Not easy to access on Friday Sat night

There homeless living in the parking lot, people wandering parking lot all night that are questionable, traffic from inn and out makes Friday Sat night traffic jams to get in, room is very dated. Mattress is good but pillows are worthless. Shower bathroom are very dated but work ok. Lot of noise from in out burger till 1am. Price dictates what you get.

The gentleman who checked us in was great! But the whole experience was awful. (Fist time staying at a vagabond Inn) first room, AC didn’t work ( was no thermostat) and spider webs . Second room the refrigerator didn’t work and noise from Neighbor. Thought we would save some money and try it out, now just regret it.

Staff was very friendly. The room was a non smoking room but reeked of cigarette, there were burn marks on the comforter. The fridge smelled weird and the toilet had to be flushed 3x to get everything down. It was good enough to avoid driving home drunk as me and my husband attended a concert nearby. Uber was cheap from the hotel to the venue and back.
