stay away from this dive. I stayed there recently and the room was absolutley disgusting.The room reaked as the carpets smelled like the they were not cleaned in years. Also there are a bunch of lowlifes hanging out there. totally gross place, keep driving. 35.00 is way to much for this dump. More

I stayed here two nights in two different weeks. The first night I had a pretty good room. Everything was clean and well equipped although it was a pretty typical budget motel room. There was a bit of noise but around 11:00 p.m. things quieted down. Based on this stay alone I would have strongly recommended it for budget-conscience travelers.... More

We stayed in this motel while travelling from Yosemite to Las Vegas. It is a basic motel - good for one night stay. Room was of a standard motel-style, decorated with some nice posters. It was clean, the shower was hot. There is Walmart and some eateries just a few hundred meters away. Breakfast was a rather poor - a... More

We stopped off for one night on our way up from Palm Springs to Monterey via the Mojave. After the wonders of the Vagabond in Palm Springs, it was a no-brainer to check in at the Vagabond here. Well..... it was different :-) It's a truck stop between an Interstate and a 4-lane highway (a lorry driver's motel between two... More

This hotel is next to US 99 in Bakersfield South. We chose this hotel as we're traveling from Sacramento to Las Vegas & we needed a hotel which is near US 99 so that we can take a rest at night & resume our journey again early morning towards Las Vegas. The best thing is, the breakfast starts at 2... More

I know this is a low budget hotel but I still expect cleanliness. Entering the room, I tossed off my shoes. After walking a few feet, I noticed my feet were sticky and black on the soles. I put my shoes back on and went down to the front desk to get towels to place on the floors to walk... More

Check in was efficient and friendly. I got to my room and noticed the window was wide open, and 3-4 flies were in the room. The carpet deodorizer they use is quite pungent, and I wondered what smell they wanted to cover up. The AC worked great to cool the room, but was a bit noisy, especially when trying to... More

Very nice place for resting after a long day on road. Many friendly truck drivers here. The truck noises didn't bother me as they were anyway mostly covered by the sound of air-con. Breakfast starts already at 2AM, so early checkouters will get their donuts too. Exceptionally clean room at this low price, a non-smoking room that was really non-smoked,... More

Well, this is my first experience staying at this chain. I have never heard about them before and to be honest I was apprehensive about their name. I booked this hotel on line after checking the reviews on trip advisor. We only needed to stay here one night and we wanted something inexpensive. Well the room and bathroom were nice... More
