We stayed here for 3 days over the New years holiday. We booked our room through booking.com, and had originally just booked a king size room, but upon arrival we realized that the hotel was in need of some TLC, no water in pool or hot tub, although it is winter time...and decided to ask for an upgrade. We were... More

This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. We reserved a non-smoking room that smelled like smoke. Lucky for us the manager on duty sprayed some air freshness to take care of the smell (sense the sarcasm). Pretty much everything in the room was in dis-repair from the beds, to the TV and beyond. I honestly don't know... More

Our room had a view of the snowy mountain. The location is quite walkable to the stateline highway where Harrah's and Harvey's are location. We had a nice overnight stay in this hotel. i was just somewhat bothered by the sink placed outside the main bathroom. The rooms were clean although a bit old. There was a pool (probably heated...

This motel was perfect for the stopover we did for one night. It was clean and functional and is only a short walk to the nearest restaurants. Wireless internet available in the rooms. Would stop over in a Vagabond Inn again. More

We stayed to ski Heavenly which is accessed via gondola 500m from the hotel. The hotel is on the main road and traffic can be heard at nightg however it makes up for this with its location. Walk to the Nevada casinos in 10 nminutes or check out lots of nearby shops and restaurants ranging from fast food to fine... More

First of all, I usually stay in cheap places so I know there's a compromise you must make on what to expect, but what we experienced was unacceptable even for a discount stay: We booked the cheaper room here to save some $$, but we ended up having to pay more because of their mistake. I requested a wheelchair accessible... More
