Stayed at this hotel for a few days to attend my nieces graduation and I couldn't be happier. The room was spacious enough for my wife and two kids, parking was easy and the breakfast was great (You can make your own waffle!) The manager was knowledgeble and friendly. He recommended some dining and shopping areas in Pasadena and gave... More

I have stayed in this hotel two times : Sep 2005 and May 2010 and the overall experience on both occasions was fantastic. I had a room with kitchen . The interiors were excellent and the hotel staff is very responsive and courteous. This is... More

Great convenient area for restaurants, books, fuel, any shopping you would want to do, as well as easy access to local educational institutions. The rooms are clean and easy to rest and work in. Breakfast was fine and the manager was very efficient with check in and out. It's my motel in Pasadena.

I choose this hotel for two reasons, first we had a little dog with us and the second was price. It's clean and comfortable and priced exactly right We were a party of three attending a wedding and we needed a lot of hangers so we called the front desk. Within minutes, 10 additional hangers were brought to our room.... More

The Vagabond Inn in Pasadena was everything we needed. Easy to get to, with very reasonably priced, clean, attractive rooms. There was a coffeemaker and a fridge in the room, and a decent continental breakfast next to the lobby with daily newspapers available and a big screen TV turned to the news. I requested a quiet, non-smoking room with 2... More

The Vagabond Inn gave us good customer service. The room was clean and it was easy to park. The location was convenient but not in the nicest neighborhood. The hotel was exactly as BostonHunter4 described.

The Vagabond Inn is exactly what you would expect from an inexpensive motel. The rooms were clean but small and the check-in process was smooth. Breakfast in the morning offered yogurt, bagels, toast, juices, coffee, cereal, oatmeal, and waffles. The breakfast room was clean and very small, but you could take your breakfast back to your room with you. There... More

Dear Sir, I'm very sorry that you did not enjoy your stay, yes you booked your room in advance but when checking in you then informed the front desk that you must have a connecting room, therefore the front desk agent had to rearrange other rooms and notify the housekeeping dept to clean your room. which it took 30 min...
