Great location for the price,short drive to anywhere you want to see. Large clean room,nice fireplace,plus good service. On the downside, Worst bed I've slept on in years. I'm also glad I didn't bring my truck(f-250),not sure it would have made the turns in parking lot and would have blocked traffic in the short spots.

The title says it all. Nice clean room with a large bed, good pillows, and a nice bathroom. The only down sides where that the neighbor's shower was very(VERY) loud and that our fireplace was a portable electric one. Neither were a huge issue. I just thought the fire would have been a more romantic one that was built into... More

Thank you for your kind words. Our goal at the property is to make sure that you receive three star service at a two star price. My apologies that you did get the one room that has an electric fireplace. In general all of our rooms have an in wall fireplace except the one you stay in. More

Place has a very nice room, large bed, fireplace, big bathroom. Maid service was excellent. Say they have continental breakfast but only consist of coffee or orange juice and one packaged danish roll so not worth getting out of bed for just always went and found breakfast at cafe when decided to get up or bought stuff and had breakfast...

Thank you for taking the time out to provide us with a review of our hotel. I appreciate your comments. Your comments are exactly correct regarding the continental breakfast. Our hotel is just not equipped to provide food services due to the many demands of the city, state, and federal goverments. Therefore, we have taken the time to find excellant... More

Becasue there was a race at Laguna Seca, this motel charged us $250 a night. Yes you read that right! This is a BASIC room...not a fancy hotel. There is an old, box TV, uncomfortable bed (I had to take motrin for my back in the morning) and old bathroom with stained floor lino. So I was told they "up"... More

I will provide a photograph of one of the redone bathrooms. In regards to the price, the Vagabond Inn rate was similar to... More

This was a great place to stay while visiting the Monterey aquarium (and attending a graduation at UC Santa Cruz). The room was very spacious with two queen beds (bigger than the double beds) which worked well traveling with a child. While the hotel lists as serving breakfast, dont really count on it, there is no breakfast only packed danishes.... More

Place is pretty gnarley if you get past its polished facade. Our mattress was stained with what seemed like a large amount of blood. The toilet rocked when sat upon. The tub filled with other rooms water when they showered. Location is great and is a short drive from everything. Staff is friendly (Dave ostensibly pretty funny and helpful). Pricey.

Friendly and very helpful staff, the bathroom was recently remodeled nicely. The room was not fancy, but more importantly, very clean. Can’t wait to come back to Monterey, will be staying here again.

New management is working hard to make their guests happy and comfortable. King bed was great and the fireplace was a big surprise. Since its on a timer, I kept it running while in the room.

In the winter, the front office is only open between 8 am and 10 pm. If you are checking in later, you need to call ahead, or if you want "breakfast", same situation. (Breakfast is wrapped danishes and the lobby coffee machine was broken.) My room was near an area where people stand to smoke, so smoke occasionally came through... More
