Stayed with a group of friends, we booked 4 rooms. Few other guests were there, parking lot was empty. Rooms were adequate and clean but small. Free breakfast in the morning was limited. No swimming pool, which we would have appreciated as it was very hot outside. Wi-fi was ok, and a computer in the lobby was available too. Staff... more

We arrived here after a long drive after dark. Once parked up we saw a group of workers from a construction firm with their work vans. They were obviously staying there the night too. It was warm and the noise level was high as they were drinking outside the rooms! The room was clean but there was no hairdryer as... more

Room was OK. Tile sheets were detached from wall in shower. TV was unviewable on majority of channels. Continental breakfast was sparse and inconsistent. Complimentary daily paper advertised was not there most of the time. I would overlook these things, but I had reserved a room for 20 nights and had to return early, so I stayed there for only... more

Do to high volume we had to inforce our earlky check out policy. The hotel ends up turning away people, when a room is resereved, and when a guest checks out early we have a lose of revenue.We apologize for the inconvience.Vagabond strives for the best in guest services, clean, comfortable, affordable rooms.

Satisfactory chain motel with limited amenities, which I picked because the Motel 6 across the street was full. It was OK for overnight, but not for a long stay. It's on a busy street but the rooms are all set back. A couple of restaurants are conveniently located on the same block--but all in all, Ridgecrest is not an extremely... more

Only stopped here on way from Death Valley to Sequoia. But it was an excellent place to stop. Room very well decorated, fridge and Microwave handy, very clean. Nice staff. Simple but useful breakfast, looked like it was running out but they replenished as necessary. Building doesn't look like much but worth the stay if you're passing through. more

We recently stayed here for 3 nights. The rooms are small but nicely furnished and very clean, but there are a few issues. The bedding is extremely threadbare, and the mattress covers aren't fitted to the beds or tied down by anything, and tend to collect in uncomfortable lumps. The advertised 6 AM breakfast didn't materialize on Sunday morning. Nobody... more

Great motel

I've stayed here for work before. The place is ok but it doesn't have many anmenites - no pool, hot tub, exercise room. The breakfast is basically cereal and coffee. The location isn't the greatest. The price, however, is pretty good, and the desk people were always nice; one brought a hair dryer to my room for me. more

My company stayed at the vagabond for 12 days while on buisness in Ridgecrest. While the rooms were always clean. We had a few issues with getting the reservation price we were quoted from the hotel and extremly poor to no internet connection. This is definatly a hotel we will never stay at again. more
