After reading some of the reveiws, I was pretty nervous about this reservation but needed a place that accepted pets (add'l charge). The first room was great but the toilet began to overflow and we were immediately moved to another identical room. The hotel had no vacancies (same as other Reno hotels)so we were quite pleased with this. The staff was very busy with all the guests and probably could have used additional help. Called for extra towels and ended up going to the office for them to save them the trip. The room was clean and non-smoking as reserved. Lots of people outside the rooms but they were friendly as I traveled with my dog. With the A/C on we didn't hear any outside or upstairs noise. Breakfast was bowl of fruit, OJ , coffee and prepackaged danish rolls. Enough to get us down the road for free! Pool was working but didn't use. Looked nice. Easy to find from Hwy 395. Stayed one night from 7:30 pm until 7:00 am. Would not be concerned about a future stay. Nothing fancy but got a good nights sleep.

My husband and I visited the Vagabond Inn for a 1-night getaway. We chose this particular hotel for their pet-friendly policy since we try to take our furry friends with us whenever possible. We didn’t realize that what they meant is that they treat their guests like animals as well.

In general, we don’t have anything particularly good to say about our stay. We requested and were promised a single king bed, non-smoking room in a quiet section of the grounds. First we were assigned a double queen room with a non-op air conditioner (think 90+ degrees) in the rear of the hotel facing what could arguably be considered the most ghetto apartment building in the USA. To make up for putting us in the oven room, we were then moved next door to another double queen room in the same noisy area (at least we now had a/c). Let’s be clear about what we mean by noisy. We had boombox cars racing through the parking lot through the wee hours of the morning. We slept in 1-1/2 hour increments, constantly being startled awake by 10pm hotel staff moving furniture out of rooms, midnight wrong number phone calls,. 1:30 am neighbors loading up their van for a night on the town, 3am mariachi music from the “projects” behind the hotel, 4:30 am horn blowing, etc. We couldn’t wait for morning to come so we could get the heck out of there.

To be honest, we didn’t bother to waste our breath giving feedback to the obviously indifferent hotel staff. Instead, we chose to forewarn those who come after us so that they can avoid the same mistake. Good luck. There are better values out there than this place.

Our reservations were for the Atlantis Motor Lodge but they overbooked & sent us to the Vagabond Inn to spend the night, it was late, 10:30 PM. My husband is disabled & uses a wheelchair, we asked for a wheelchair access room. It had the international symbol on the door, but he couldn't get in the bathroom with the wheelchair! The room was the very last room in the far back corner of the property across from low rent housing apartments. Very scary neighborhood! We turned on a bedside lamp & it didn't work, so I tried the other lamp & smelled smoke so I shut it off. I tried to call the office but the phone cord had been pulled out of the wall. It was very late so we just went to bed. We heard gun shots, sirens, yelling & car horns all night.
The next morning we complained & checked out early they gave us a $5.00 coupon towards our "Next Stay". I DON"T THINK SO!

Stayed here for a couple of nights July 2004
Room had a refrigerator & microwave
We asked for a non smoking room but from the smell in the room & from all the butts outside the door on the surrounding concrete & grass it was very obvious no one took any notice of the no smoking sign
Whole place is very tired & needs a major revamp
But was clean enough
Swimming pool was closed the two days we were there for some unknown reason
Would not recommend until it has been renovated
