Dave, the Manager was very accommodating; he went out of his way to make our stay (husband & our 4-legged son) a pleasant one. On arrival, we asked to change our room location to be closer to our parking and at the same time ensuring that the room provided 2 queen beds. Dave immediately gave us four options which allowed...

We were going to the Rose Parade to see our son march in the band. We called the hotel and agreed to pay the high price because he guaranteed a spot on Colorado BLVD and a shuttle near by to the game. BOTH WERE LIES - we had to stay up all night to reserve our spot - we had... More

I'm very sorry that you did not get a seat but after checking our records your name did not appear.The Hotel does not offer and never offered free... More

I recently stayed at the Vagabond Inn on a three night stint. All I can really say is this place is pretty awful. Every waking minute I spent in my room I was thinking about how I would never stay here again. First and foremost, I have no idea why this place is so highly rated on all the websites.... More

If you want to see all of the sights of Pasadena - the Arts and Crafts homes, the shopping, the dining, museums, etc., this is a great place to stay. It's within a mile of Old Town Pasadena, near the Huntington Gardens and museums, the Gamble House and galleries. Lots of shopping and good dining choices in the Old Town... More

I stayed here for 3 days while relocating to the LA area. The room was a good size from my European standards as even with 4 suitcases/large bags I could still move around. The room I had came with a fridge and a microwave which was useful for making food. I did not test out the pool but did test... More

This hotel is on the rose parade route, so if you are in town then, this would be the place to stay. The place is clean, the price is right and it is walking distance to many good restaurants. The night we stayed a neighboring room held a party that could be heard in our room. If you want a... More

Definitely not luxury, but a nice effort. Rooms small but clean. Bathroom looked like it had been remodeled recently. Desk chair very beat up, but worked fine. Breakfast seats about 10-12 people, so people grab and run, or stand in the serving area -- crowded, but cooperative. A little street noise if you open the windows, but it’s the middle... More

We needed and got a wheelchair adapted room at a great price (senior rate). Room and bathroom were well designed. Stayed 4 nights to visit museums. Convenient location. We'd stay there again if visiting the area. More
