Firstly it should be noted that some of the reviews here are I think meant to be for the "Old Town" Vagabond, which is opposite the Amtrak depot.

I stayed at the Vagabond Midtown in 2009 and it was good. On the basis of my past visit we stayed here again at the end of June 2011. Things did not get off to a good start when the Receptionist informed us that the reservation system was down and there was no record of our bookings, but she checked us in anyway.

The rooms were not dirty as such, but they were in need of a deep clean. The bathrooms had clearly seen better days and there were scale marks in the toilets. They had forgotten to put cups in my room so I had to collect some from the reception. The doors were difficult to open as the keycard system had seen better days. I thought it strange that I was not in the adjacent room to my friends but 3 doors along. We realised the next morning that the reason for this was the rooms in between had smashed windows. The swimming pool had a notice on the gate posted by the City Council saying that they had closed the pool due to the poor water composition.

The area was frequented by a large number of degenerates. Not a problem as such but the keycard system was not working on the doors to the stairs and hallways. There are a couple of eating places and drugstores nearby if you get hungry.

The most horiffic experience for me was in the morning when I realised too late that there was no toilet paper provided in the room. Breakfast was pastries and fruit loops.

I notice this Hotel has dissapeared from the Vagabond Inn website - have they lost their franchise?? I strongly advise you stay elsewhere in Sacramento. There must be somewhere better. I could not believe how bad this place had got in the space of 3 years, it had been one of the best stops on my last visit.

other comments say its bad but they worked harder and its very good.Theres some bad things but the value for what it is now is awesome.If i come back to sac ill probably stau there for the budget.

The only reason we stayed there was because it was right next to the Amtrak train station, luckily we only had to stay for one night. The rooms are accessed by a dirty walkway and our room was opposite a very noisy construction site. The room was OK, the bathroom could do with a serious update and was a bit smelly. I did not enjoy staying here.

I must have read reviews for a different Vagabond because this place was so horrible, I ended up sleeping in my clothes because I was so uncomfortable - They advertised fridges, microwaves and coffee pots in the room, but my room only had the fridge; there was no shampoo; there was no clock; there were cigarette burns on my bedspread of my non-smoking room; the lobby smelled heavy of cigarette smoke; the swimming pool had been drained. And i was charged more for my room than another one of my party for the same type of room.....And their breakfast looked like 3 year old fruit loops. DONT STAY HERE.
