1/1 found this review helpful

I had a few reservations (pun not intended) after reading some of the bad reviews for this property, but it's my experience to take these reviews with a grain of salt. For the most part, I believe dissatisfied folks are more prone to leaving negative feedback, while folks who had no problems will not bother to leave any feedback at all. I like seeing negative feedback, particularly whether the management was able/unable to deal with particular issues competently and professionally.

That said, I liked my stay here. I read that this is an older property and that things are "run down." That may have been the case a few months ago, but from the outside, the property looks pretty good. There are rooms that face inner courtyards that belie the "motel" feel, as well as rooms that face the parking lot that confirm the "motel" feel. The inner couryards were pleasing and quiet and had a few gazebos to hang out in if you wanted.

I stayed in a poolside non-smoking room in which there was absolutely no smoke odor or fragrance-covering-up-smoke (as opposed to those "non-smoking" rooms in Las Vegas). The room was well appointed and a decent size, with a king bed, microwave oven, mini-fridge, a/c heater fan, blow dryer, iron, coffee maker, TV, etc. Nothing "run down" inside. The bed was comfortable.

Some very minor issues: the bath towels were a bit small and not as plush and the hot water never really got hot.

A free continental breakfast was served in a breakfast room just off the pool and had a decent spread.

I was able to get a great rate off the hotel's website. Check all possible rates, because it turned out their best available rate beat the AAA, senior and government/military rates.

  • Liked — Location of the room, away from parking lot.
  • Disliked — Hot water never got really hot.

We had a late night checkin due to our flight being delayed, and the rooms air conditioner didn't work (it was 92 out). The motel couldn't get the issue resolved, so we sweated it out and moved to another room the next day. The new room was on the way far end of the complex facing the parking lot. Our card keys wouldn't work and we had to get new sets twice.The room was shabby, old and outdated. The bathroom was dingy with chipped paint and peeling finishes. The pool area was very nice, with pretty flowering bushes. Continental breakfast was good, and there was onsite laundry (coin op), that was great to have. Over all it wasn't a terrible stay considering it was pretty cheap.

  • Liked — outdoor courtyard with pool, gazebo, gardens
  • Disliked — inoperable keys, inoperable A/C, outdated room, poor view

Stayed three nights over 4th of July weekend. Walked to Cal-Expo for the fireworks display. Walked to the movies. Walked to dinner at Applebees. Across the street from a major shopping mall. Very convenient location. Check in was a breeze. Our accomodations were nicer than I expected from a Vagabond. I guess since it is a "Vagabond Executive", its a nicer setup. Bed was very comfortable. Wi-Fi worked great. Pool area was clean and tidy. I loved that the pool was 8ft deep and not one of those 4 or 5 footers. Water was warm. Breakfast was much better than just a muffin and juice. There were eggs, waffles, oatmeal, cereals, hot chocolate, tea, coffee. One of the more extensive continental breakfasts I've seen. I would definately stay here again.

  • Liked — Close to moveis, shopping, Cal-Expo, and great dining.
  • Disliked — The hide-a-bed was broken. We just put the mattress on the floor, which was probably more comfortable as most hide-a-beds are pretty uncomfortable even when they aren't broken.

I was sent here on business. The room keys kept not working. I awoke on the final day with purple welts on my legs and feet. I knew I had been bit my something bit wasnt sure what. I found out two weeks later that I had brought bed bugs home from this hotel. I immediatley contacted the hotel and they told me they would do whatever they could to help. NOT. I am now over 3000.00 into this mess, the hotel has admited they found bugs in the room, and done NOTHING to help me. They turned it over to their insurance company and they have done NOTHING. Dont ever stay here.
