Fast initial sign-up (check in) with reservation (used booking.com) on holiday weekend(Memorial Day) Clean room for price with everything working , good wifi reception with fast check-out. A good value for the money.

We are 1950's retro nuts and this place fit the bill to a "T." An older facility that rivals any place at twice the price, the freshly maintained decor is straight out of the past, yet comfortable and efficient. The room, pool and grounds are spotless clean and the staff, especially Juanita at the front desk, are all cheerful, friendly... More

Thank you so much for the nice review. We do have local homeless people that like to hang around the beach areas, but I've seen that in just about every beach community that has decent weather. For the most part, they are just annoying. This town is awesome, and everything is close by. We are glad you choose to stay... More

I regret I could spend only one night at the Vagabond Inn Ventura since it's one of those places where you feel like home and you'd like stopping the time just to be there any longer. From the very beginning when I checked in I experienced a very positive feeling, certainly influenced by the kindness and professionalism of the gentleman... More

Since my last review and upon my recent stay I have to say that they need to step up simple maintenance and policy issues. One is replacing the electrical outlets in their rooms with new ones that plugins don't fall out of. The other is smoke smell in non-smoking rooms mainly by construction workers. Air out the rooms please. There... More

Thanks for reviewing our hotel. Your comments help make our hotel better. We are currently renovating rooms in the hotel, but only about 10 at a time. The renovated ones have 4 more electrical outlets than before. Next week we will be installing new carpet in 35 rooms. I will have the maintenance man check the outlets in the older... More

This is a superior value for a more than comfortable room. And the TV has thousands of channels (well, maybe not quite that many), But the thing about this place is a great front desk .... you cannot believe the motivation and concern for guests that these folk demonstrate morning and night. That means amenities that you might need (an... More

My dog and I stayed here while our house was being fumigated. Was very pleasantly surprised. Much quieter than I expected, given that it's on a busy street with railroad tracks just feet from the back of the property. Nothing fancy, but had all the essentials and was very comfortable and very clean. Continental breakfast is pretty minimal, but there... More

Great customer service, my husband and I checked in last night and the night person was so sweet. We were kind of sketchy about the place but it actually turned out not to be so bad.

I am a single female traveler and I think this place is great...a nice safe, clean, not huge, well built place, walking distance to the beach (easy access included) & the pier, downtown with a cafe onsite.
