I stayed here for the first time a year ago. There was no question where I would stay on my trip to San Diego this year. From check in to check out every one was great. Just make sure you bring your tray with you to breakfast in the morning. They have waffles, cereal, hard boiled eggs, fruit and various... More

I was very impressed with Vagabond. The pool and hot tub were perfect. The staff was friendly and extremely knowledgable of tourist areas. Jayson in particular was a great help. The breakfast was excellent. The room was very clean. I will stay here again.

I stayed at the Vagabond Hotel Circle when I came into town for a conference at the San Diego convention center in downtown San Diego. I decided to save some money and live a little far away from the conference. The actual distance was about 6 miles and the route was at the most 15 minutes by car between 7... More

Tried using a hotel coupon during Spring Break but that was a no go, but they were willing to negociate a good price. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was OK but had to take it back to the room as there is no tables and chairs. It is very close to Old Town and tourist places. Thanks... More

the location was great for this hotel, great price, free parking. This is our second Vagabond hotel to stay at in the SD area. the room was clean, the staff was friendly, the breakfast (boxed cereal, waffles, boiled eggs, fruit, coffee,juice) was good - nothing fancy, but good. We would stay here again.

Nothing fancy, but it was clean, relatively quiet, relatively inexpensive, and very convenient to the zoo and other sites. The breakfast bar is nothing fancy and you have to take everything back to the room to eat it, but it was free and did include waffles if you were so inclined. We would stay there again.

Better beds than the Houston galleria Marriott. I stayed there 2nights before coming here so it's a truthful benchmark. Value for money, big time!

After a day at Coronado beach we finally checked into this hotel. There was nothing special about the room except we happened to get one that led directly out to the pool, which, was very nice. Everything worked in the room. The water pressure was good and the water was warm (took a little to heat up). They give military... More
