Actually not bad!

Don't let the area or the price scare you away from this hotel. There's a Walmart across the street, a Denny's that shares the parking lot, a food truck in the adjoining Chevron parking lot that is a little expensive but has excellent food. There's a lot of shops within walking distance. I have stayed in much more expensive motels that had much worse service and half the amenities that the vagabond has. Management does try to make your stay the best they can with what they have. The property is dog friendly and they have several grass areas. if you bring your dog there please pick up after it, the grass areas even have little stations with doggy poop bags, so use them! Lol. In summary, you definitely get your money's worth which for $55 anywhere else isn't going to be much so be happy that they choose to give you more

Room was clean bed comfortable, AC worked fine. The one thing I could not take was the odor/smell of the room. It was very unpleasant and penetrating, not smoke though.

The staff was so friendly and nice. The property is older and needs a little love. The only breakfast choices was cereal and waffles, it would be nice to have 1 or 2 more choices like maybe yogurt or oatmeal.

Excellent and Attentive Service

The staff at this property has done a great job at establishing a culture of service. From the moment I checked in all the way up until my slightly late checkout, the office staff, the housekeeping staff and the food service staff were gracious and worked to meet every request I made. In addition, the room was clean and in good repair. Finally, the breakfast buffet was kept well-stocked and very clean. I was impressed by this Vagabond and I plan to return whenever I need a room in the area.
