“Low cost, good location, few amenities”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 24, 2013

Good low cost base of operations for touring the San Luis Obispo area if you only need a place to sleep. Easy access to the 101 and Hwy 1; convenient to shopping and dining in SLO. Pool and hot tub were not working.

“OK for one night.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 21, 2012

The internet wasn't working - which means that we had to go to the lobby everytime we wanted to use wifi on our laptop. Breakfast was only coffee and donuts, and it was first come first serve... if you came too late, there was nothing left. Staff were friendly though.

“Affordable and clean”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 8, 2012

I had a great stay here. The rooms were clean and my family and I received great customer service. The receptionist was pleasant and helped us find places to go and suggested places to eat. The location is perfect. In a safe area, not too far from downtown and it is right next door to Denny's. There are also lots of shopping right across the street. My big thing is cleanliness and it exceeded my expectations. Definitely will stay here again when I visit San Luis.

“Great room for a great price!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 7, 2012 via mobile

My stay at Vagabond Inn - San Luis Obispo was great! The front desk was super helpful in accommodating me with all of my requests right from the start. I stayed in a 2 bedroom which was located in the back of property for the weekend while visiting my son. My room was pretty nice - clean sheets, great pillows, and newly updated furniture. I would recommend vagabond inn for any one that is visiting SLO.

This is the great place , very convenient to the restaurant , Madonna complex is just steps away. I like Denny's which is on the property. Ihop is next to hotel. My wife loves morning breakfast and I have good choices.
Rates are very reasonable . Laura front desk is great.
