When we arrived, the room was nice and clean. We were glad that access to the train was just across the street as we went into Downtown San Jose. When we got back, we were please to remember that there is a Denny's right next to the hotel. Though we only stayed overnight, we would have enjoyed an extended stay.... More

It was a wonderful experience staying in this Vagabond Inn. You get a very friendly customer service and feel at home. By the way, I found the location is very convenient because of nearby Sanjose airport and also nice restaurants within walking distance. More

I recently relocated to San Jose and searched the web for a "pet-friendly" hotel. This lead me to the Vagabond Inn and I must say that this is a great place to stay in San Jose! Angie, Danny, Walter, Arleen and Ravi are very accommodating and will make sure that you have everything that you need to feel comfortable. They... More

After checking out the terrible rooms and atmosphere next door at Motel 6, the Vagabond Inn was so nice. It was CLEAN, there weren't a bunch of shady characters scoping us out as we brought our bags into the room, and we felt SAFE. For an inexpensive (around $70 for two of us) place close to the airport, I'd recommend... More

This place really is for vagabonds... as in vagrants. Essentially, this place is a flop house. The owners have sucked all the equity out of the property and have failed to do even the minimum of upkeep over time. Cigarette burns in sheets. Broken plumbing. Polyester bed covers not laundered. Etc... Prostitution and narcotics dealing are happening in many units.... More

I had been there with my colleague last year, the staff is nice and warm hearted, he replaced a larger room for us free of charge. There is a big yard, a lot of parking lots, very beautiful place to stay. More

Being somewhat of a cheap person i've stayed in some really bad hotels, but the Vagabond Inn San Jose airport is the worst ever. The room had torn carpet, mold on the walls and ceiling, part of the ceiling was hanging down like it had been wet so many time it had pulled loose. The room stank, like old wet... More

When we checked in we given a room around the corner and in the back despite there being many clearly vacant rooms... More
