Reviews for Vagabond Inn Bishop

Review 1:We could hear people talking through the walls and the footsteps from the room above were loud. The room will benefit from an update.

Review 2:Great location. The beds were comfortable.

Review 3:Breakfast is basic coffee and rolls, however it looks like they have added a few things since our last visit.

Review 4:Ground floor room with gravel area close by for our small dog.

Review 5:Exceedingly noisy at night. Big groups having parties, BBQs and shouting until early hours of the morning.

Review 6:Nice room, convenient location, clean, great bed and awesome shower.

Review 7:The receptionist looked a bit lost, as she gave us first the keys of a room that was already occupied! Besides, the laundry was out of order!. Fortunately there was a laundromat in town.

Review 8:Correct room with clean bathroom.Breakfast far from being the best we had, but it was included which is appreciated

Review 9:- felt a bit unsafe; a guest was smoking weed and some other guest seemed a bit shady - breakfast was limited to unhealthy options and was not fresh; bagels were from the day before.

Review 10:- Large room - kingsize bed

Review 11:Not informed laundry was not in use due to construction. Television vey old and bad reception. Wifi very slow and cut you off after so long.

Review 12:Helpful friendly staff. 10% discount Denny's

Review 13:Big fat pillows, but the worker at the front desk found me a flat pillow.

Review 14:Nice clean room, comfortable bed, nice pool and hot tub. They even have a barbecue in the patio area.

Review 15:Good location. Friendly and helpful staff. Room clean and comfortable. Continental breakfast more than adequate for our needs. Convenient for Denny's - if you like that chain.

Review 16:Poor choices for breakfast, unless you like frosted flakes. Air-conditioning mounted near the ceiling. OK if you are 7 ft tall. Bring a light and magnifying glass to see the controls.

Review 17:Comfortable bed.

Review 18:Had not been told when booking that renovation was in place and the laundry room was closed so had to walk accross busy road to use Motel 6 laundry room.

Review 19:Lovely large comfy bed.

Review 20:Have stayed here many times over the past 30 years. Always a friendly, clean, convenient place to stay in Bishop. Lots of dining choices nearby within walking distance.

Review 21:I like the refrigerator and the microwave. All motels should provide them.

Review 22:It was confortable and didn't have to worry about a parking space everytime we left and came back.

Review 23:Nothing to say here...

Review 24:The motel was a big surprise after a long day of travelling (since some reviews were not that good). We met very friendly staff members, got nice (although a little out of date furnished - but about to be renovated) clean rooms. The pool was fantastic for the kids and they even have a BBQ area. Chain restaurant next door, others further down the street in walking distance...

Review 25:They were very accomodating, my mother was with me, she is 90 years old and I requested a lower level room close to parking lot. It was ready ahead of time, and made it easy not to have to climb any stairs.

Review 26:Black flies seem to be the plague anywhere along that route and near lake Mono. The motel was basic, very basic, but clean.

Review 27:Small motel, good for an overnight stay when on this route; good simple breakfast.

Review 28:Noisey air conditioner which we couldn't reach to turn off. Very small half pillows, which I hate. Asked for 5:45 wake up call...they called at 4:55...need smarter help perhaps. Very poor excuse for breakfast...mini muffins, toaster waffle or toast. Really?????

Review 29:Easy to find

Review 30:They did not have our booking. Took some time for receptionist to contact booking.com to confirm booking.

Review 31:Outdoor pool good but cold. Continental breakfast facilities looked to little used but Denny's was next door with 10% discount.

Review 32:we could hear the movements of the guests above us and anytime they used the bathroom we could hear the water in the pipes could improve on the continental breakfast

Review 33:really good location and well kept grounds bed was super comfortable

Review 34:took 2 hours to get into our room, around 5pm the front door to the lobby was really dirty, heavy to open, especially when you have your hands full of coffee and a muffin.

Review 35:The location was great.

Review 36:Loud group below us (actually they were "partying" outside their room. and someone kept revving the engine of the car with loud mufflers. This is not a knock of the facility, rather, rude guests. Breakfast is bare minimun

Review 37:Room was spacious, very clean, and there was evidence of recent upgrades (shower, curtains, beds

Review 38:We had a ground floor room and the room above started pacing at 5am - it sounded like thunder it was so loud and extremely creaky floorboards didn't help either! Also, a laundrette was advertised but there isn't one .. you have to cross the main road to Super 6 to use their's in the hope none of their residents are using it or wait a long time!

Review 39:Our room was clean, the linen and towels were fresh and white but the motel is tired and in need of updating.

Review 40:Alittle bit nosey due to all the lorry/trucks which where stopping next door early in the morning and couldn't close the window due to no A/C in the room.

Review 41:Lovely little inn but nice and clean with a nice pool outside.

Review 42:The noise. The construction of half of the motel.

Review 43:When calling the office early in the noting around midnight because the people above decided to have a party and blast their music and party all night long, the office called and asked them to turn off the music. I also liked the fact that when I checked out and said something again, they gave me 10% off my bill.

Review 44:The noisy from adjoining rooms felt a little uncomfortable especially from the room above us.

Review 45:Booking a room online can sometimes be a gamble, but this one turned out better than expected. Everything was as it was pictured, the staff was friendly and helpful, the room was clean and comfortable and it was within walking distance of several good places to eat.

Review 46:- Not even a bit soundproof walls - Really basic breakfast - The worst wifi I have ever seen - I would expect a half price for this!

Review 47:- Fridge and microwave - Close to many restaurants with discount - Free parking

Review 48:beds too soft. Warn out or poor quality. Very bad odar in room. Refrigerator is very loud. On and off all night.

Review 49:can park in front of room,ample leg room, clean.

Review 50:Old tube TV ... Hadn't seen one in like 8 years!

Review 51:Honestly for a motel is a po-dunk hick town that caters to drive through skiers or fishermen the Vagabond was great. I was surprised that for $79 it was clean, sow what current and quiet... Even thought fully booked. The TV is out of the 90s but otherwise it was great little motel with a nice firm bed, clean etc... What more does one want?

Review 52:After a LONG drive and very tired, we had just gotten to sleep about 10pm when the fire alarm started going off seeming like forever. After a couple hours, sleep again only to be awakened by the fire alarm again about 7am. Lousy restless night!!

Review 53:The fire alarm went off at midnight . It took at least 10 minutes before it was shut off . No fire. 730 in the morning the same thing happened. Not my idea of a good time .

Review 54:Very clean, good location

Review 55:When I arrived, the desk clerk told me that I had booked two rooms, which I had not. I had to call Booking.com to staighten out the mix up.

Review 56:The room I stayed in seemed to have new carpet, drapes, tile floor, bath fixtures. I asked for no down pillows or comforter because I'm allergic and I got great pillows and linens with no down. I got a parking spot right outside my room. Nice breakfast in the morning.

Review 57:Such a short stay there was nothing I felt dissatisfied about.

Review 58:One night stop after Yosemite so pool and spa a good way to relax after a long day. Room was clean and functional. Free breakfast was nice. Interesting town.

Review 59:I have no complaints

Review 60:Room was clean. Staff was courteous and helpful. Furnishings and decorwere in good condition. Nice bed. Easy walk to food. Breakfast was justok, although having stayed at Vagabond before, I did not expect much.Fresh fruit was the best thing there.

Review 61:Front desk polite but not very friendly or informative. Room smaller than expected. The AC unit made lots of noise & was mounted in wall up by the ceiling, Unable to adjust or turn off. Upper unit using tub made awful plumbing noises. In a.m. found 2 large roaches in sink area.

Review 62:I liked the location of motel & available Wi-Fi. Located next to Denny s with 10% discount.

Review 63:The breakfast was very basic.

Can't fault this place!

Couldn't have been more pleased with my stay. Thank you Booking.com & Vagabond for making my Girl fiend's Birthday a awesome and memorable weekend stay.

Review 72:We travel to and through Bishop every summer. We have stayed numerous places and have never written a negative review. Our room had cockroaches, stained bedding, and the water was turned off with no notice before or during the outage. The manager was never "available" to discuss this. There was an accountant or someone else there but we were told by desk "she does not like to talk to people". We were very frustrated and disappointed. Trust me..... I read the reviews but I always think they are grouchy people etc. I honestly urge you to try another hotel.
