The location to everything is very convenient. The room is spacious but the smell of cigarettes was a bit strong and the bed with any movement made lots of squeaky noises. For the price we paid this was a great deal.

Another great stay at his Vagabond. My room was spotless and completely renovated. Everything is new including the large refrigerator and the microwave. Special thanks to the maintenance crew for helping me with my TV. Front office is very friendly and efficient. This is your best bet to stay for a very good price.

Overall this hotel was much better than I anticipated. Check in was fast and efficient. The hotel provided continental breakfast but I wasn’t able to enjoy it. Only thing that went wrong was not their fault. The car lot over the fence had an alarm go off late at night and it kept going continuously. I finally had to put my AirPods in and use the noise cancellation. Usually alarms like that shut off after about 30 seconds but this one did not. Great stay, across the street from Walmart and Starbucks.
