Based on Trip Advisor reviews, we stayed at the Vagabond Inn on June 6-7. Excellent location if you're visiting Old Sacramento, the riverfront and the CA State RR Museum. Just walk through the parking garage across the street from the hotel and you're there.

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. When the desk attendant had trouble finding the "Discover Gold" discount card we read about in the Visitor Guide (ask for it when you check in -- lots of 2-for-1 offers) she went out of her way to find them and had one ready for us when we came by a bit later.

The room was adequate -- not fancy or large -- but we weren't looking for luxury. It was quiet, clean, the bed was comfortable and the TV worked.

The breakfast they offer was more than adequate and the make-it-yourself Belgian waffle was delicious. The breakfast attendant was right on top of keeping everything well stocked and the tables clean. (If you want a bigger breakfast a Denny's is on the same property.)

We were there on a Sunday morning and the drive downtown to see the state capitol was easy, as was finding parking.

We liked the place and would return.

The location was perfect for us, right off the freeway. The hotel is across the street and parking garage to Old Sacramento and across the street from a shopping mall. The front desk clerk was very cordial and helpful. Continental breakfast worked well for us (it included waffles, yogurt, bread for toast, muffins, cereal, juices, and coffee). Would recommend this to anyone not looking for anything upscale.

We got more than we expected for our 2 night stay. The rooms were clean, bed comfortable and a great location. The staff was very friendly and accomodating. And the breakfast was good , with enough choices (and kept very clean by the hard-working woman there). It was a little noisy at times from the traffic, but it was tolerable. We would definitely stay again.

This is a budget hotel in a decent location - especially for those checking out Old Town Sacramento. Based on the reviews we read, the hotel was what we expected - an average decent place for a one night stay. We're fairly light sleepers and didn't have any problems with the noise, but as recommended, we asked for the quietest room possible (3rd floor facing another building). The breakfast was mediocre at best - but for $89 a night, we didn't expect much. They had waffles, bagels, bananas, and some cereals along with coffee and tea. The free parking was a bonus, and the staff were helpful (not overly so, but certainly not rude or stand-offish).

This hotel is definitely my home base when I'm in Sacramento (once or twice a month). They do just about everything right.

The staff are fantastic. They are polite and attentive. The check-in desk is efficient. Any time I've brought up an issue, they have been quick to resolve it.

The rooms are clean and relatively new (compared to similar Sacramento properties which I admit is not saying much). Rooms have a fridge and microwave. There's a nice long counter in the bathroom area. In-room internet is wired and very fast.

Only downside, and I admit it can be a liability especially for sensitive people like me, is that the area is loud. I-5 is a stone's throw away, and the Amtrak station is across the street. However, I find with some white noise (the fan) I manage fine.

Really this place is a very good value. On my personal scale, the quality of the service and the rooms is quite a find for this area.

  • Liked — The staff are terrific.
  • Disliked — The noise in the neighborhood.
