So I stay overnight, because I race at Auto Club Raceway Famoso. I've stayed across the street at Motel 6 (I used to be dedicated to motel6) and best economy, this was much better for about the same price. The room was much nicer, and the breakfast was better than economy (motel 6 doesnt even offer one). yes you ,make... More

It's right off the 5. It's no 5 star hotel, but good enough for the night. Our carpet was filthy our socks got black from the floor. Couldn't see it with the eye on the floor, but could see it on our socks. but everything else was clean. Nice breakfast with waffles.

While driving off the 5 discovered this place it was a really good value since the place in front wanted 80 dlls per night and would not even see the room. I decided to go to the vagabond they showed me the room which the lady was confident of the rooms that she was providing. Hot waffle breakfast and cereal... More

I always hate writing bad reviews, but I feel I must in this case. Because of the mixed reviews of this hotel, I decided to give it a try on my way to AZ. Unfortunately it was the wrong choice. When I pulled into the parking lot, I noticed that the hotel across the street had a parking lot full... More

My girlfriend and I were driving to the Bay Area, and we needed a place to stay for the night since we were so tired from driving. The motel was conveniently located right off of the I5, and the advertised rate was cheap enough for us to give it a shot. Having arrived at 2am, we were given the last... More

The chain lock on the door was missing. There was a mysterious trap door in the ceiling that we weren't sure if it was secured or not. Lamp shade was tattered. Funny overly sweet smell in the room. Not enough towels. Seemed to be a place for workers to stay, not for families! Watch out for dog poop!

We rented two rooms. Desk clerk gave us a great deal, truckers rate. Son refused to sleep in room (he found horrible stains in unclean sheets. He slept in car. Continental breakfast was laughable. No coffee maker in room. Towels turned yellow when wet. Nothing could ruin our euphoria. Ducks won RoseBowl!
