I like the Vagabond chain (overall) as most properties do a decent job. Was staying with the SLO site recently while visiting area. My room was located upstairs and while conveniently situated and bargain-priced, there's a lot more I expect out of a room than that - like simply 'baseline' comforts; following 3 days in a row there, I suddenly...

If you want a run-down, fairly dirty motel room, this is your place. The carpet was worn out and had a lot of stains. The lampshades were stained brown and falling apart, and one of the lamps didn't work. The bathtub hadn't been cleaned very well, and there was debris in the bottom of the tub from whoever had last... More

This motel was not so good. The front desk staff at check in was rude. We were told not to call the office after 10. Which was very sad later because the people in the room above us were up acting like a herd of elephants until 1:15 in the morning. The room was not very clean and there were... More

I spent a night in San Luis Obispo on a trip down the coast at the end of May. Being familiar with SLO, I wanted to spend the night at a budget property that was clean and comfortable. I found both at the Vagabond Inn. Pros: Easy freeway access, across the street from shops and fast food, walking distance to... More

My wife, teenage daughters, and I spent a night in SLO to tour Cal Poly. The hotel location is convenient to the freeway, stores, restaurants, and Cal Poly. The beds and rooms are a bit worn, but OK. The room temperature varied a lot with the AC swings. I slept OK, but my wife did not. The breakfast is as... More

We stayed at this Motel twice and both times it was exactly what we wanted. The price was good and the room was clean and secure. We have stayed in a lot of Motels for the $50 to $80 per night mark and this is one of the better ones. Staff were friendly and remembered us when we came back... More

Cheap does not matter. I don't care how much of a deal you think you're getting, you are NOT. Staff is argumentative. Management is absentee. That's probably enough said for any of you reading this. And Corporate? Yes, call Guest Relations at -- and leave a message about your stay. Don't expect a call back, tho. More
