“Served our needs”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 January 2012

person found this review helpful

We stayed at the Vagabond Inn in Ventura on Saturday, January 7, 2012. Our friends, who were traveling with pets, chose the location because of their pet-friendly policy. We did not have high expectations but were certainly pleased. We were only in town for one night and found the staff professional and friendly and very close to the bars, shops and restaurants concentrated on Main Street, which was a quick walk (2 or 3 blocks to Main St.).

The heat (floor board) worked well, we didn't detect any noise other than a passing train in the morning and the water was steaming hot! Parking seemed ample (we parked under our room on the 2nd floor) and were allowed to check in a bit early, since the room was ready.

The next time we're in Ventura (depending on the purpose), we'll certainly consider staying there again.

“Avoid this place”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 December 2011

Room air conditioner did not cool. Wi-Fi did not function. Many parking places blocked and unuseable. Had to park far from room. Diesel engines on numerous guest pick-up trucks started revving at 6 AM. Tried to get adjustment from local manager and corporate office. No one returned my calls.

“Not Worth the Price of Admission”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 November 2011

I recently stayed at the Vagabond Inn, primarily because of the location. It turns out that the location was the only good thing about this place and it was definitely overpriced by about 25%.

The rooms looked very old and drab and the carpets were no better. The bed was stiff and uncomfortable. And not necessarily the fault of the staff but the people who checked into a room above me left late in the evening and left their dog alone in the room. This dog barked consistently for at least a few hours until finally the occupants returned back to their room.

In the morning, while hoping to find a decent breakfast in the lobby, I discovered nothing but cheap danish pastries and muffins.

So, in a rundown, here is what I thought of the experience:

Staff: so so
Room: Awful
Noise Level: Awful
Breakfast: Awful

The one plus is that this inn is very close to the Ventura Pier. But this one plus isn't enough for me to want to stay there again
