“Not bad-great location!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 September 2005

Hotel was nice. Easy check-in, located right next to the freeway, with no noise. Very near fast food restaurants and a few gas stations, seemed a prime location. After an extremely easy check-in, we parked right in front of our room which was about as close you could get to the pool. Unloaded our stuff and stepped in the room. Very nice sized room, everything seemed clean and fairly new-pretty bedspreads! Smelled horrible though, like someone had been smoking in it non-stop for a year or so even though it was a non-smoking room. 2 queen beds, TV, microwave and fridge. Bathroom worked really well. Note: Pool is NOT heated, was super cold and we couldn't use it. Very nice pool area though, with a Pepsi machine and many clean pool chairs. Hotel looked super clean in and out, though we did get the dreaded "black sock" disease while here. Wish I had went and bought a bottle of Febreze as the smell never abated. I didn't have a problem with the bed but my husband hated it and his pillow. Our room had it's own a/c and heater controls, but I think they are just for show as our room was very warm at all times. No screens on the window meant no breeze from outside as well. Hotel offered a continental breakfast but we didn't check it out, so nothing to say on that here. I might stay here again, if I brought a fan and some Febreze.

Stayed September 2005

“Beware !!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 August 2003

Beware the Vagabond Inn in Salinas, CA. !

We chose this inn as a central point between the Monterey Peninsula and the Gilroy Garlic Festival. Unfortunately, the Vagabond is also the central point between (noisy) Hwy #101, (noisy) Kern Street and a (noisy--nay, raucous) Mexican cantina next door. Amenities were sub-standard for the cost ($112), the lobby and room "smelled", and the "continental breakfast" was the poorest I've ever seen. Overall, poor value. Beware this motel.
