“Quiet room, all else terrible.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

Since I come from a densely urban area, the noise factor did not bother me too much. I wear ear plugs and bring my own sheets and quilt at any motel I go. The room was cleaner than reviews here belie. And walking distance from Downtown and Bidwell park, etc. is a major plus. However, because the rooms under me were smoking rooms, using the heater caused my room to fill with smoke residual. Someone has large dogs on the first floor that are never let out and they bark hysterically at any passer by. Suffice it to say, even on a weeknight there were sketchy characters and rooms jammed full of people. The room key repeatedly did not work, so I got in my stair master work outs to have it repeatedly recalibrated. The "live ins" stared out the window in Charles Manson fashion, or repeatedly approached me until the last day I asked him to leave me alone and he started screaming at me. The staff is slow, rude, and uninformative. Jaded. The morning desk clerk even burped in front of me and then took up my time to explain to me how she had the hiccups. Because I paid cash, she had to examine my room before she gave me back my $50 deposit and she moved really slow walking back from the room, as she observed me outside the office avoiding the crazy "live in". Young and not so very overweight, there's no excuse for this. And that's what $55 gets you in Chico.

“Horrible service, incompetent management”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Two night stay, got double charged. Did not think it would be this difficult to get the second charge reversed but after a month of multiple phone calls a day (manager Melissa does not return phone calls), speaking with both desk clerks and "managers" AND being assured that situation has been resolved, although credit card statement states differently, have only come to the conclusion that the Vagabond Inn in Chico and those "working" there provide(s) nothing but excuses and half-witted reasons attempting to rationalize there own incompetence. No redeeming points within this experience other than a good location.

“very rude”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 March 2011 via mobile

I stayed at the Vagabond INN on March 11th. The motel is older and it shows, but my room was clean. The only complaint I have is the clerk Beth, VERY rude and short on checkout. I explained that the room needed more towels for the amount of people in room. She began to argue with me, so i just walked out. The same lady outside with no shoes and a tshirt not very professional if id say so. I will return due to the other staff was very helpful. Ann went out of her way on checkin.
