You are to be treated worse than a dog is what they meant when they advertised, “pet friendly.” Read every review and decide for yourself. If you have a pet, you are relegated to the “dog” house. It’s the room in the back down a dark outside hallway at the end of the building with a sliding glass door as... More

There is nothing good about this property except for the location. After that, it's abysmal. The room was coated in grime and there was tons of garbage under the bed! Plus, I got hit with a $15/pet fee upon checkin - which jacked my formerly awesome rate of $69 to $109. I'm slowly learning that "pet-friendly" = we will charge... More

Do not believe any of the good reviews for this place. I trusted some of the better reviews and booked a room for 3 nights for my wife and daughter to celebrate my daughters birthday. The room was dirty and there was a big hole in the wall like the after math of a fight that wasn't repaired. The sink... More

The room was decent and the location was pretty good for the price, but I will not return to this inn because of the customer service. It felt like I was bothering the woman who checked us in as she mumbled and grumbled the whole time on the computer. The only words that were said to me as I was... More

Liked the rooms very much. They were clean and well maintained. I've stayed at this motel over the years and this seems to be consistent. Pertaining to the rooms, I didn't like having a room with a sliding glass door as the entrance to the room. The rooms aren't air conditioned (few are in this part of CA) and I... More

We stayed here for one night and it was an awful experience. The room was dirty and smelled musty. Best to look else where. We switched to the Dolphin which was $30 a night less and a much better property. The staff was friendly there unlike the Beachwalker. .

the owners also own the laundermat next door. Most of the machines do not work. They accept your money then then tell you tough luck when they don't start. Rip off!!!!

I am so glad we were able to get a room at the Vagabond Inn (formerly the Beachwalker Inn) in Cayucos! My husband and his brother had a re-model to do in town and I was lucky enough to be able to go with them for two weeks and enjoy the coast for 2 weeks while they worked. I cannot... More

We stopped for the night during a sightseeing trip to the central coast. This was formerly the Beachwalker Inn and was apparently bought or franchised with Vagabond Inns. The room was nice and included a microwave, refrigerator and small gas fireplace. We sat out on the hotel's patio after dinner and sipped wine by a gas fire pit - a... More

My wife and I wanted a nice trip out of town with our Labrador. Found this place as a pet friendly hotel. First of all, the room was ok. Didn't smell like any other pets. And it wasn't that busy. However.. The wall heater made noises all night. The ceiling fan knocked when it was on. The walls, were paper... More
