What a nice hotel! I thought they were all about the same but this place really does stand out. We checked in late at night with a coupon from the hotel guide and since it was so late the lady was apologetic for having to charge us at all and gave us a discount on top of the coupon. The... more

We only payed about $70 for our room so it was well worth the money since we were travelling through for a night on short notice. The room was very clean, bathrooms well stocked with towels and no visible mildew or mold. The mini fridge was not loud and we also never heard any of our neighbors. We didnt notice... more

We stayed here as part of a tour. I wish we had stayed at the OTT Madonna Inn next door which looked far more fun! This Vagabond was a bit of a disappointment as it was far shabbier than its counterpart we stayed in at Palm Springs and no free internet (well no PC at all) The free buffet breakfast... more

Large, comfortable and clean rooms with helpful staff. Free coffee and internet access. A great place to stop if passing through or exploring the surrounding wine country. Very good value for money. more

I have never in my life experienced service as horrific as I have at the Vagabond Inn off of Madonna in SLO. If their training motto is "The customer is always wrong. Treat them all with disrespect" I would not be surprised one bit. The manager was extremely rude upon check in. And in one instance even stated "You have... more

Good location, surrounded by restaurants and shops. The area itself is ok, not the most vibrant area. The hotel is nice, clean and comfortable. more

The room was clean and bright. It smelled good. The bathroom and shower were clean. What more could you ask for? The owners live there and run it well. They are very knowledgable about the area and are proud of it. There is shopping all around, a Denny's next door and an IHOP on the other side. Continental breakfast is... more

We arrived at 2 am after driving over 3 hrs. The hotel was not honest and had sold our reservation. We were guaranteed for late arrival and paid ahead. Orbitz was very responsive and was able to find another room for us (it took 35 miniutes on the phone with Orbitz; but they were helpful). Orbitz should not use them... more

Unfortunately, this guest had an unfavorable situation with the check in via Orbitz. Please be advised that this technological issue was corrected.

Just returned from a trip my mother and I took to San Luis Obispo. We stayed for two nights based on the previous good reviews. We had a room with two queen beds. We had a quick check in, dropped off our bags in the room and headed out. When we returned around 10pm, my mother turned the bedspread and... more

Arrived after a five hour trip from LA tired and hungry. The reception were efficient and quick to check us in and advise us where the local restaurants were. The room was good and clean and being near the reception was quiet. The home town buffet just down the road was excellent for service and price. Opposite the inn is... more
