Reviews for Vagabond Inn Costa Mesa

Review 1：We didn't like that we got put in a room with a small box tv, no microwave, and no refrigerator, when we have stayed in rooms at this same hotel with large flat screened tv's, microwaves and refigerators. Also, come check out time, the maid that knocks on your door with a clipboard in hand, was VERY pushy and rude to us.

Review 2：We liked that the price was far and the hotel accepts cash for the stay and for the deposit. Additionally, the deposit is low in cost.

Review 3：There was no heating in the room. It was a very cold night. Bathtub was running, had to close door to prevent from hearing the running water. Very annoying.

Review 4：The Location...

Review 5：We really needed a hot shower and a warm room but the central furnace was not operating and the room was not warm enough. So we checked out.

Review 6：The room was attractive, clean, smelled nice.

Review 7：There were cockroaches in the bathroom floor and walls. We asked for our money back the next morning with pictures of proof and the staff and manager refused to give us our money back or comp us a room for next time. It was disgusting. I had to call the health authorities. I would not recommend this motel for my dog to stay there.

Review 8：there were roaches in our room.we had to call and have someone unclog the tub,and they did not clean up after them selves we had to remove hair balls .

Review 9：the staff was very nice.the tv was clear.

Review 10：Room smelled like smoke (supposed to be a non smoking room), blood stains on sheets/carpet, mold in bathroom and multiple bed bugs are on the pillows/bed.

Review 11：Cozy lobby and quick check in process.

Review 12：My stay at the Vagabond has always been a pleasant experience. It is convenient and close to many restaurants. The staff are friendly and overall the cleanliness of the rooms are good.

Review 13：The front desk staff need to get off their phones and greet everyone that comes in the office with a friendly hi. Whether they come to check in or for coffee...

Review 14：The price was fair and it's located around a lot of food places... The outside staff are really nice.

Review 15：Room was in bad shape, smelled stale, small, bed was very uncomfortable, had to ask for coffee for the in room coffee pot every day, locked me out after 4 days, paid for 6.

Review 16：Location

Review 17：COCKROACHES in the BATHROOM, in the BATHROOM VANITY AREA going behind the mirror, in OUR BED with my 1 yr old Grandson sleeping with my Daughter & I (just awful)!!! The room was too hot & stuffy & you can't even open the widows. The AIR unit wasn't working properly. Just a nightmare of a stay!!! And had called the front desk to complain & to get some help & they NEVER showed up!!!! AND - NO WIFI like they said

Review 18：Location was easy to find on our way to Laguna Beach for my daughter wedding. So we needed to stop & rest coming from Fresno!

Review 19：This was our second stay and on both occasions the staff have a very poor attitude, my look at other motels next month.

Review 20：Good location, nice pool , plenty of parking.

Review 21：Light switch by door didn't work. Only bothered me because I'd return late at night & had to wander around in the dark to find a lamp.

Review 22：Quiet location of room. Super comfy bed with plenty of pillows. Pleasant smell in room.

Review 23：Our room were infested with bed bugs and our 8 year old is at the Dr. Today for all of the bites she received. We took pictures of the actual bugs and blood on the sheets from bites and made a corporate complaint. I since have read reviews as far back as January complaining about bed bugs. How dare a motel allow this to go on. We not only paid for the 2 rooms but we then had to incur expenses to prevent our own homes from becoming infested with these bugs by fumigating our vehicle transporting our bedding and pillows, clothing and luggage. Just horrible. I give them -10 stars in my book and they should be shut down.

Review 24：Room smelled like mold that clung to us hours after we left. The moldcovered up the smell of cigarette smoke. There were no towels in theroom when we checked in. Dogs are allowed to stay there and peopledownstairs who two yappers that barked every time someone walked by.Most of the other "patron" were really lowlifes.

Review 25：There was nothing to like. This is a horrible place. Don't eventhink about staying there especially if you are a decent family.

Review 26：The card to unlock your room door did not work over and over and over. Iwould go back down to the main office again have it rebooted walk allthe way back to my room and for it not to work again. They finally tookthe card and when I would leave and come back I would wait in line atmain office so that staff would go to my door and they would have tounlock the door them self. The shower curtain had boogers on it. Therewas a clock in the room that did not come on at all, did not work. Therewere three light bulbs burnt out. The carpet next to night stand wassoaking wet. I travel a lot and this was the worst room ever

Review 27：Location for me was great. Bed was comfortable

Review 28：For the money paid some of the safety stuff wasn't in working order like the in room safe. Shower head leaked, couldn't get th air conditioner turned off froze my butt off.

Review 29：Close to where I had to be for a business appointment.

Review 30：As with lower priced hotels, other guests were an issue. Constant smoking on the entry balconies and walkways. Non-Smoking rooms have a smoke smell from all of the smoking with the doors open that occurs regularly. Not overwhelming, but always present.

Review 31：Great low price and convenient to I 405 access. Staff is very friendly and helpful (we have stayed here several times)

Review 32：Cigarette burnt holes in comforter and drapes had same burnt holes smelled super musty bought glade air freshness!!!!! The safe box didn't work told manager never did get fixed! At least no bugs!!!!

Review 33：The price is good....

Review 34：Upholstered chair and ottoman abit shabby. Coffee pot and hair dryer worn out.

Review 35：Room had two comfortable queen beds, new carpet and drapes. There was a flat screen tv and free wifi.

Review 36：Dirty, shady characters and did I mention dirty? Non-smoking room smelled like a dirty vegas casino. My car got broken into and the wifi did not work the list goes on ...

Review 37：The room was old and had stains all over the walls. The floors was filthy,bathtub was discussing,and the maids did a half @$$ job.The maids were really focusing on removing all the water bottles and cans than putting new towels and coffee back in the rooms.

Review 38：- Twice I had to come to front office to reset the room key. That's not comfortable. - Toilet paper handle was broken before we check in, not fixed. - Internet too slow.

Review 39：With pool, near highway.

Review 40：The doorknob of our room was removed when we try to open it. The Manager said he will fix it personally which he does. The faucet and shower head opens at the same time making the tub full as it doesn't drain fast. The heater don't work.

Review 41：Location Coffee maker in the room. Safe deposit box is available.

Review 42：My non-smoking room was musty and smelled like smoke. I met several cockroaches. I was afraid of my own bedspread because it smelled weird. Everything smelled weird. Paint was peeling. Bathroom and main door had damage near the locks, signs of previous attempted forced entry.

Review 43：This was the cheapest place around, and it was close to my event.

Review 44：Shower is short and it was hard to find outlets.

Review 45：Location cant be beat, close to free way and stores (fresh and easy 5 minute walk and in-n-out next door) We had plans all day and just needed a place to sleep, so the price was perfect for us.

Review 46：Sheets were dirty, room counters and mirrors were dirty, location on street was ghetto, not even kidding there was a porno being taped 3 doors down, prostitutes on our street corner

Review 47：There really was not anything I liked

Review 48：I didn't like how the customer servic was at the lobby. They acted as if we were 2nd priority. Taking phone calls and giving us a finger to wait instead of politely saying "give me one second please, i have to take this phone call"

Review 49：I loved the location and how it was close to every fast food/convenient store. I also liked the hot tub and pool. It was really relaxing.

Review 50：The non-smoking room smelled like smoke. We had to sleep with the window open all night to get the smell out.

Review 51：Close to the beach. Right off the freeway. Friendly staff.

Review 52：When we arrived, the nonsmoking room was full of smoke from the people upstairs. We moved and the next room had roaches on the bed and coming out of the radio! Stay away

Review 53：Room was dirty we cleaned the bathroom ourselves before using it and had cockroaches in this room. The Manager the next day did not seem interested in our concerns with the room and just offered a 10% discount which I feel we should have been offered a free night. No impressed with his professionalism at all.

Review 54：The door to the toilet did not close i.e. the latch would not catch and it would be slightly open. No one to come up and unclog the toilet. We had to do it ourselves. Noisey people next door. A call to the office had to be made to quiet them.

Review 55：The breakfast was ok. The pillows were not flat. They were nice and firm.

Review 56：They forgot the wake-up call, it was okay because we were sleeping in anyways.

Review 57：booked handicap room on line, but when arrived none available. Management stepped up and gave us a room that was by the pool that made it a whole lot easier for my wife to get to the pool and jacuzzi .This made our stay a lot nicer.

Review 58：Worst hotel experience I've ever had with my wife. Disgusting dirty rooms tv or remote didn't work. Toilet ran non stop and they would not fix it. Horrible customer service even at corporate

Review 59：Can not understand for the life of me why any hotel would not let theirguests have their own air conditioner and heater! I understand it'sa "GREEN THING" but I paid for my room to relax on vacation!It was uncomfortable during the day, especially when I get ready I haveto have the A.C. on . and at night it rained and it was so cold it feltlike camping.i had to turn on the hot shower & waste water to keepwarm! That's not green at all! Stupidest decision this place couldmake! Cutting off their guests level of comfort & provide a horribleexperience with bitterness and regretful memories of this costa mesavegabond . I will share my experience with all of my friends and anyonewho happens to ask my opinion of this vegabond.such a shame because itreally has alot of potential. I will never stay here again and becauseof this experience I will always call ahead to make sure I have controlover my own air conditioner and heater. Central air controlled byheadquarters to help our environment is so ridiculous. I shouldn'thave to be so uncomfortable in my room on my vacation to help theenvironment! I hate to say it but I hated this place over all!!!

Review 60：Location is convenient. Rooms are alright.. Absolutely love that I canbring along my pet friends. Also they have decent breakfast

Review 61：I didn't like the price or the size and date of the room. There was too much old bulky furniture which took up a lot of space. The a/c didn't work and the carpet was filthy!

Review 62：I loved that this motel was in a very convenient location for restaurants and shopping. Everything was within a short walking distance.

Review 63：One or two sketchy types around including a young man who knocked on my door and asked if I had weed. Mostly felt safe though.

Review 64：Well placed for access to Newport Beach and lots of local amenities. Nice clean pool and spa.

Review 65：I requested a handicap room, I called the day I booked the room, I was promised a smoking, handicap room, I called the night before to make sure the room was reserved. when I arrived I was told there were NO handicap rooms, I could not go into office, no ramps, I had to fill out paper work in the parking lot, I could not have the free breakfast because I could not enter the lobby. the room had too much furniture, I am in a wheel chair, I could not shower, no bars on the walls, the toilet was too low, there was blood on the wall. I could not get to vending machines, no ramps... the lock fell out of the door, one of the locks was broke, the sheets on the bed had burn holes...

Review 66：everything else was fair. Rooms outdated. Tv remote was broke. Alarm clock was from 80'S and did not work. Bed and sheets were horrible. Also some spider problems. Killed two of the spiders.

Review 67：Location that's it...

Review 68：A continental breakfast was available as advertised, but the selection of food items was limited.

Review 69：I needed an economical place to stay while visiting in Costa Mesa for a few days. It was my first stay at a Vagabond Hotel, and I was very satisfied with the Vagabond. Would definitely stay there again.

Review 70：I loved the staff and their diligence in keeping the rooms very clean daily. Towels were always restocked, room AC was very nice and clean lines daily was amazing. Location right off the highway with various stores just minutes away. Overall my stay was very pleasant and I would recommend others to give this Hotel a try.

Review 71：The bed isnt to comfortable, and the shower need some improvements...

Review 72：Location is excellent, close to the beach, to the IKEA and has good access to restaurants! Good priceand very ororganized.

Review 73：There really wasnt anything we didnt like.

Review 74：The rooms and staff were very nice and next time were in so. ca we will be staying there again. The price was pretty good as well.

Review 75：Low internet We were near stairs and people were smoking inspite of that near it was sign "No smoking".

Review 76：Nice swimming-pool Refrigerator Nice staff and place

Review 77：Didn't like that the air was not cold or adjustable. Employee said nothing they can do about it. Maybe they should have portable fans

Review 78：Location was good.

Review 79：We were right across the street from a mortuary& a graveyard. We were able to take it in stride, though. ...

Review 80：Not the 'newest' motel, but everything worked. If your room was missing an accessory that other comparable rooms had, they'd accommodate you as best they could.

Review 81：I didn't like to see little stains on the sheets :( Overall condition of the room was a bit run down...

Review 82：I liked the extra little touches! Such as the landscaping and the way they "fancy" fold the towels, t.p. and tissue. Helps with an older hotel.

Review 83：queen rooms dont have fridge / microwave being on the backside of the motel fair wi-fi connection, was better in kingroom in 2012

Review 84：we like the pool,breakfast,staff,location we have been here in 2012,too,super satisfied

Review 85：Very noisy at night. A lot of traffic up and down the stairway, as well as a lot of street traffic out side. Door needing bottom stoop, We could see a half inch of light under the door.

Review 86：Being close to our business destination, and most things about the Inn.

Review 87：I was in a room facing the cemetery, mortuary, crematorium. Not good due to the fact that I had just lost a close family member.

Review 88：I found the room to be comfortable and quiet. I wasn't bothered by anyone next to me. The serenity was awesome.

Review 89：Walls in rooms really dirty. Needs paint to make it look cleaner. Non smoking rooms still smell like smoke.

Review 90：Great prices, good location, friendly staff.

Review 91：The bed was uncomfortable and I felt itchy all night. In the morning there was no hot water. The remote to the television did not work.

Review 92：Easy to find right off the freeway.

Review 93：The place was less than desirable. The ceiling was leaking, the ac made some kind of leak in the bathroom and somehow my stuff ended up all wet in the middle of the night. The paint was peeling, the pillow cases had stains, so I can only assume they had not been properly washed. Under the bed was gross and the bed was not comfortable. The shower pressure was not good. There wasn't a resin cover in the sink, so be careful there. I hate leaving reviews like this but it is what it is. Someone needs to invest a little money in a few things and it would go a long way.

Review 94：The staff was nice.

Review 95：Wifi was good one day and bad the next day. The bathroom shower shouldhave new bathtub mats thoroughly cleaned without any stains on. Thiswill give guests a much better feeling when you take shower. The roomsthat are supposed to be non smoking and they smelled like someone hadsmoked in them so they need to be cleaned or aired out. This alsohappened to us the last time we had a room at Vagabond. I stay herebecause it is close to family and the rates are nice. At breakfast thebananas seemed to disappear before anyone had even arrived at breakfasttime. Hmmmm.

Review 96：Great Location.

Review 97：Staff was very friendly and accommodating, the rooms where big withmicrowave and fridge, they were clean and very reasonable. Ive seencomments on the conditions of the rooms the hotel isn't new but theykeep it clean and there were no nasty carpets or linens in eiether ofthe 2 rooms we occupied while staying there. Management was in theprocess of putting in new mattresses, tv's, and furniture during ourstay. Staff cleaned all day long in the rooms and outside of the hotelas well. Pool was beautiful huge patio area lots of chairs, tables, andloungers. A Pavilion area with gas grill and lots of tables and chairs.Convenient to shopping, restaurants and a bike/running trail. Wewill definitely be back.

Review 98：The rooms were filthy! They smelled strongly of mildew. My room had someone else's pubic hairs on the toilet. I took a picture and showed the manager. He blamed Housekeeping and gave me a 10% discount. The pillow on the bed in my mother's room had an indentation where someone had rested their head. We got a different room wig also smelled of mildew. Gross!

Review 99：Location near long beach where we were leaving for our cruise vacation

Review 100：It's located right beside the 405 so Huntington Beach was a $20/25 dollar taxi depending on the driver! Don't let them take you on the 405! That costs $35

Review 101：Clean, had a pool, close to many food options with a petrol station and an in and out burger on site
