The name says it all. This is a tough one. It's clean but it's old. You don't want to drop any belongings on the floor here. Employees are very friendly and location to USC is great. You can handle this for 1 night. When Radisson is sold out this is the only place within walking distance to USC. I would... More

Based on the online photos, I was skeptical of what to expect of a drive-up motel right off a main drag in L.A. But I was pleasantly surprised by the friendly service, the size of the room(much larger than what you'd find at your typical midtown hotel), the close proximity to USC, and the array of food establishments nearby. Compared... More

We came for the USC-UCLA game. We booked the Vagabond in September. The price and location cannot be beat. It is HANDS DOWN superior to the nasty Radisson down the street. It is literally a block off the northern most part of campus. You can park for free and walk to the game. We stayed here last year. The place... More

This Vagabond Inn has one overwhelming asset--it is next to USC and one of only two hotels in the area. This made it our choice for Parents Weekend.What we did not know--and the manager claimed ignorance as well--was that a "rave" was planned at a venue a block away, on two nights of our stay. Outdoors. Incredibly loud, shaking the... More

This is a budget motel--do not expect turn down service, a concierge, free breakfasts, room service, bell boys, or chocolates on your pillow each night. However, you can expect to have a good, clean room, free parking, a nice TV, refridgerator, microwave, in room coffee, a great air conditioner, wireless internet, minimal customer service, and a swimming pool for hot...

Stayed here for the first time 2 years ago in August 2009 when I took my daughter to school at USC. Stayed again in August 2011 for the same reason. It's very convenient and the only closer place is the Radisson. The coniinental breakfast is a nice perk but I've never seen yogurt as another reviewer mentioned. Mostly donuts but... More

This hotel is located right on Figueroa St, 2 blocks from USC. It is very reasonably priced for Los Angeles. Our room was well sized and opened directly on to the pool. The pool was clean and well maintained. Everything was in working order in the room, and they accommodated us with a roll out cot. i recommend this hotel... More

With a child now attending USC, we will stay here again for the convenience. It is a short walk to campus. Great value for downtown with free parking and wifi. The neighborhood is not great but we were never worried; just use common sense. Our room was a decent size with a fridge and microwave. But the hotel is a... More

Located very close to the USC campus as well as downtown Los Angeles. The staff was very helpful when they switched our one king-sized bed room for another room with two beds. No doubt that I'm coming back here the next time I visit USC!!! More
