This isn't the newest hotel in town, but it is perfect for a short overnight stay. We went to a concert at the Colliseum and didn't want to have to drive back to OC. We walked to the concert and dinner. The room was clean - obviously not luxurious but that was ok. The staff were very nice and accommodating.... More

We were charged $141 in total for the room, which was a complete rort (it was late on Fri night and we had a lack of options at this point). The hotel felt seedy, and we immediately removed all items from our car so they wouln't be stolen. A group of young kids were staying at the motel and they... More

My husband and I were very satisfied with Vagabond Inn with its cleanliness and excellent location to downtown LA & USC. The room we had was on the second floor, which was a little further from the street. This was good because we could hear the sirens very often, though not loudly. If it were a room near the street,... More

In my second day in the frontdesk, I overheard a clerk told the other traveler that vagabondinn can arrange shuttle bus for customers travelling from the inn to LAX airport at the cost of US16 (for the bus trip). I felt assured to get that information. When I was assisted to place a call to arrange the shuttle bus one... More

If you have to stay USC, this is it. It is just across the street sandwiched between two private student housing complexes. This used to be in a sketchy neighborhood, and "under construction buildings" but that has been changed as of Fall 2011. If you have a child living in University Gateway, it is great for visiting on many levels.... More

The name says it all. This is a tough one. It's clean but it's old. You don't want to drop any belongings on the floor here. Employees are very friendly and location to USC is great. You can handle this for 1 night. When Radisson is sold out this is the only place within walking distance to USC. I would... More

Based on the online photos, I was skeptical of what to expect of a drive-up motel right off a main drag in L.A. But I was pleasantly surprised by the friendly service, the size of the room(much larger than what you'd find at your typical midtown hotel), the close proximity to USC, and the array of food establishments nearby. Compared... More

We came for the USC-UCLA game. We booked the Vagabond in September. The price and location cannot be beat. It is HANDS DOWN superior to the nasty Radisson down the street. It is literally a block off the northern most part of campus. You can park for free and walk to the game. We stayed here last year. The place... More

This Vagabond Inn has one overwhelming asset--it is next to USC and one of only two hotels in the area. This made it our choice for Parents Weekend.What we did not know--and the manager claimed ignorance as well--was that a "rave" was planned at a venue a block away, on two nights of our stay. Outdoors. Incredibly loud, shaking the... More
