My family stayed at this property for Thanksgiving holiday. We had 4 rooms in total. We had booked two types of rooms but all 4 rooms would not have been together if the front desk clerk named Tiffany did not upgrade our rooms. She did her magic and put our rooms side by side at no additional charge. I have stayed here before and thats why we chose this hotel. The staff is always so helpful and polite. Our rooms were clean and they even have a little free breakfast in the morning before heading off to the familys house for our Thanksgiving Feast. We will always stay here in the future.

We were supposed to stay three nights, but left after one. The bad: Dirty and very run down. Bathroom filthy...see photos. Bathtub was disguting...you could not take a bath in it. Holes in walls...see photo. No coffee pot in room. No hair dryer. Bent rusty coat bar and no hangers. Non-smoking room smelled of smoke. Furniture old and beaten up. No suitcase stand. Small room. Breakfast - cold cereal and waffles, which would be fine...but 1/2 way through eating they started sweeping the floor and then proceeded to wash the floor...with over an hour left before they closed. Might have been nice if they had done that before people started eating there. The good: WiFi worked well. Bed was reasonably comfortable.

Tiffany at the front desk was awesome! We wanted a bottom floor king room, but she only had queens available on the bottom floor. I had read some mixed reviews on here so asked to see the room before committing. She let me take a peek, then by the time I got back to the counter she had found us an available king room she said she would let us have for the same price as the queen which was a great bargain at $74/night! The room was clean, and spacious, bed comfortable and quiet enough for a good night’s sleep. The breakfast available at the inn was sparse, consisting only of cereal, self-serve waffles and coffee or orange juice, but for the price of the room, I’m not complaining! There’s a Denny’s directly in front of the inn, very convenient for a quick bite or full breakfast. This motel offers very good value and is great for anyone just travelling through, or those on a tight budget,

Booked 3 rooms for my family from out of town last weekend. My family had a nice comfortable stay. I did get to look at the rooms before booking them so I was comfortable putting them there for the 2 days. They provided breakfast for them so that helped out the budget a little. One room was downstairs and the people of was a bit noisy but overall the rooms were very clean and staff was very friendly and helpful.

We booked one night at the Vagabond Inn in Bakersfield and it was, without a doubt, one of the most disgusting nights of our lives. Bed sheets were extremely dirty (and they had old sweat and coffee stains) and there were bed bugs. I could litterally feel them crawling in the bed. Moreover, there were cigarette marks on the sheets and the room was incredibly dirty in general. We also found leftovers from another person’s hair in the bed. I cannot recommend this to anyone!

Booked Vagabond Inn because it accepted Pets. Positive - microwave, mini fridge and quiet heater. Negative - Pet poop on grassy areas & sidewalks; stained blankets; tub with rust; Gaps under the door; NOISE all hours of the night - people talking loudy, kids running up/down the stairs. Next to Hwy 99 - freeway noise was minimal, compared to the people talking/yelling. It felt like I was in an apartment complex. Appears these people were long term renters, not travelers. JUST RUDE! DO NOT STAY HERE if you want a good night's sleep.
